III. SALVATION

    📖Romans 5:8
[8]But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Datapuwa't ipinagtatagubilin ng Dios ang kaniyang pagibig sa atin, na nang tayo'y mga makasalanan pa, si Cristo ay namatay dahil sa atin.📖

✅WHO IS JESUS CHRIST 🤔
  

  A. He is the Son Of God, therefore He  came from heaven 《Read John 6: 38》

      📖John 6:38
[38]For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Sapagka't bumaba akong mula sa langit, hindi upang gawin ko ang aking sariling kalooban, kundi ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin.📖

  B. He came down on earth, conceived by a virgin 《Read Matthew 1:22-23》 and live a life perfectly 《1 Peter 2:21-22》

  📖Matthew 1:22
[22]Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
At nangyari nga ang lahat ng ito, upang maganap ang sinalita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng propeta, na nagsasabi,📖

📖1 Peter 2:21-22
         [21]For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Sapagka't sa ganitong bagay kayo'y tinawag: sapagka't si Cristo man ay nagbata dahil sa inyo, na kayo'y iniwanan ng halimbawa, upang kayo'y mangagsisunod sa mga hakbang niya:
         [22]Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Na siya'y hindi nagkasala, o kinasumpungan man ng daya ang kaniyang bibig:📖

📎NOTE: Jesus, the Son of God who live in heaven (kung saan walang pain, no suffering and no sin) pero bumaba sa lupa para iligtas ang mga mananampalataya sakanya sa sin at kapahamakan (hell).
     📌Dinakip sya at kinulong kahit wala syang kasalanan 《John 18:13》
    📌He was persecuted (inusig) 《Read John 18 》
   📌He was mocked (hinamak)
《John 19: 1-3, Matthew 27:40》
   📌He was betrayed by Judas 《John 18:2-3》and People around Him《Matthew 27:21-22, John 19:15》
   📌 The Son of God was nailed on the cross《John 19:18》 para mabayaran ang kasalanan na hindi naman nya ginawa.

❗Our sins nailed Him on the cross (Ang mga kasalanan natin ang pumako sakanya sa cross) ❗

✅THE ONLY HOPE

Trivia:
    Sa old Testament, they offer a young Bullock without blemish (walang kapintasan) para sa kanilang mga kasalanan 《Read Leviticus 4》 . Pero dahil nga yung mga sacrifices na Yun is not enough para mabayaran permanently ang mga kasalanan nila at patuloy parin sila sa pagkakasala, God sent His Son.  God is just being gracious to accept the innocent blood to cover their sins temporarily because sabi sa;
   
    📖 Hebrews 10:4
[4]For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Sapagka't di maaari na ang dugo ng mga baka at ng mga kambing ay makapagalis ng mga kasalanan.📖

  📖  Hebrews 9:22
[22]And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
At ayon sa kautusan, ay halos masasabi kong lahat ng mga bagay ay nililinis ng dugo, at maliban na sa pagkabuhos ng dugo ay walang kapatawaran.📖

A. Jesus Christ is the Perfect sacrifice to cleanse us
      📖1 Peter 1:19
[19]But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Kundi ng mahalagang dugo, gaya ng sa korderong walang kapintasan at walang dungis, sa makatuwid baga'y ang dugo ni Cristo:📖

Therefore, Jesus Christ is the only way para makasama natin ang Diyos

    📖 John 14:6
[6]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ako ang daan, at ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: sinoman ay di makaparoroon sa Ama, kundi sa pamamagitan ko.📖

B. He died for us kahit wala tayong ibang ginawa kundi magkasala
     📌His death on the cross means a lot, because we can't save ourselves using;
     • our own wisdom and works (Hindi natin kayang iligtas ang sarili natin gamit ang sarili nating karunungan at mga gawa)
     • Not our religion
     • Not our own ways
     • We are hopeless, but Christ already died for us... He is our only Hope!

📖 Ephesians 2:8-9
         [8]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Sapagka't sa biyaya kayo'y nangaligtas sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya; at ito'y hindi sa inyong sarili, ito'y kaloob ng Dios;      

[9]Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa, upang ang sinoman ay huwag magmapuri.📖

C. The perfect sacrifice was needed to save man from the Penalty of sin and that is Christ. He shed His blood for those people who believed in Him 《 Read John 3:16》.

📖John 3:16
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, THAT  WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Sapagka't gayon na lamang ang pagsinta ng Dios sa sanglibutan, na ibinigay niya ang kaniyang bugtong na Anak, upang ang SINOMANG sa KANIYA'Y SUMAMPALATAYA ay huwag mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.📖

❗Christ already dies for us, He shed His blood... now, what should be our response?❗

     📖 Mark 1:15
[15]And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
At sinasabi, Naganap na ang panahon, at malapit na ang kaharian ng Dios: kayo'y mangagsisi, at magsisampalataya sa evangelio.📖

📎NOTE: Repentance
    - To change your mind (Kung dati gusto mo ang mga bagay na ayaw ng Panginoon, now you changed your mind to be like Him) 
    - Godly sorrow for sin 《2 Corinthians 7:10》
    - Acknowledging your sin to God and desiring to have God cleanse you from all your sin and give a new life in Jesus Christ. 

    📖Romans 10:9-10
[9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Sapagka't kung ipahahayag mo ng iyong bibig si Jesus na Panginoon, at sasampalataya ka sa iyong puso na binuhay siyang maguli ng Dios sa mga patay ay maliligtas ka:
          [10]For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Sapagka't ang tao'y nanampalataya ng puso sa ikatutuwid; at ginagawa sa pamamagitan ng bibig ang pagpapahayag sa ikaliligtas.  📖
