MAY BAHAGI BA ANG TAO SA KANYANG KALIGTASAN?

Oo, ang tao ay may bahagi sa kanyang kaligtasan. Ito ay inilalarawan bilang isang pakikipagtulungan sa Diyos, kung saan ang tao ay aktibong tumutugon sa Kanyang gawa.

Narito ang ilang punto:

  1. Personal na Responsibilidad at Pagsisikap: Hindi pasibo ang pagliligtas; kinakailangan ang aktibong pakikilahok ng tao. "Walang tao na maliligtas sa katamaran" <CT 366.1 | 8T 65.1>. Dapat gawin ng tao ang kanyang bahagi, kasama ang "pagtatrabaho sa kanyang sariling kaligtasan, na may takot at panginginig" <1SAT 71.4 | TDG 344.4>.

  2. Kooperasyon sa Banal na Kapangyarihan: Ang gawain ng kaligtasan ay bunga ng pagsasama ng banal at ng makatao. "Ang banal na kapangyarihan ay nakikipagtulungan sa makatao" <HP 139.7>. "Ang Diyos ay gumagawa, at ang tao ay gumagawa" <HP 59.4 | RH, April 14, 1904 par. 4>. Kailangan ang "kooperasyon sa Diyos" <RH, April 14, 1904 par. 4 | 10MR 288.3>.

  3. Pananampalataya at Pagsunod: Ang pananampalataya kay Hesus bilang Manunubos ay mahalaga <FLB 115.2>. Ang pag-aaral ng Salita ng Diyos, pagtatakwil sa sarili, pagiging matipid, at pagkontrol sa mga pagnanasa ay bahagi ng pagiging "mga kabahagi ng banal na kalikasan" <CD 84.2 | TSDF 33.7>. "Ang puso na dalisay ay hahantong sa buhay na dalisay" <OFC 16.6 | SD 10.7>.

  4. Paglahok sa Gawain ng Diyos: Upang magkaroon ng katangiang katulad ni Cristo, kailangan nating "makibahagi sa Kanyang gawain" <DA 142.2 | AG 335.2 | LHU 187.3>. Ang pakikipagtulungan sa Diyos sa "gawaing pagliligtas ng kaluluwa" ay inaasahan sa bawat mananampalataya <UL 235.3>.

  5. Pagtitiis at Pagpapakasakit: Kailangan nating maging "mga kabahagi ng pagdurusa ni Cristo" upang makibahagi rin sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian <ExV 28.2 | RH, September 1, 1849 par. 5 | YRP 369.2 | HP 265.4 | ChS 273.1 | MH 472.1 | HDL 10.2 | YRP 131.3 | CTr 204.3>. Ito ay isang "pakikipagpunyagi para sa walang hanggang buhay" <CT 366.1 | 8T 65.1>.

  6. Ang Halaga ng Kaluluwa: Ang mga tanong tulad ng "Sapagka't ano ang pakikinabangin ng tao, kung makamtan niya ang buong sanglibutan at mawawala naman ang kaniyang kaluluwa? o ano ang ibibigay ng tao na katumbas sa kaniyang kaluluwa?" ay nagpapahiwatig ng personal na responsibilidad para sa kapalaran ng sariling kaluluwa <Mark 8:36 | Mark 8:37 | Matthew 16:26 | Luke 9:25 | 2MR 330.2 | CSA 64.4 | BLJ 191.4 | Ed 145.1>.

Samakatuwid, ang kaligtasan ay hindi isang awtomatikong proseso na nangyayari nang walang partisipasyon ng tao. Bagama't ang Diyos ang pinagmumulan ng kaligtasan, ang tao ay kailangang tumugon, magsumikap, manampalataya, at makipagtulungan sa Kanya.

Effort and Salvation

-
  The work of gaining salvation is one of copartnership, a joint operation. There is to be co-operation between God and the repentant sinner. This is necessary for the formation of right principles in the character. Man is to make earnest EFFORTS to overcome that which hinders him from attaining to perfection. But he is wholly dependent upon God for success. Human effort of itself is not sufficient. Without the aid of divine power it avails nothing. God works and man works. Resistance of temptation must come from man, who must draw his power from God. On the one side there is infinite wisdom, compassion, and power; on the other, weakness, sinfulness, absolute helplessness. AA 482.2  https://text.egwwritings.org/read/127.2130 We cannot even manufacture faith ourselves. “It is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8). The whole of our salvation comes through the gift of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. How glad I am. It comes from such a source that we cannot doubt it. And He is “the ...

Sabbath Cooking Excuses Investigated Copyright 2016 Winelfred G. Pasamba Foreword "God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber."—Testimonies for the Church 5:453. ChS 159.2 This is a very difficult, very shaking, very testing, very new and controversial (for many who are not oriented) topic and I request the readers not go to Chapter 3 & 4 unless they have read Chapter 1 & 2.  If you go directly to Chapter 3, you probably will be highly uncomfortable if you have no testimony of avoiding cooking on the Sabbath. Readers need utter humility and gratitude-to-God, for this material not to offend them.  Love for God must be more than love for food, love for comfo...

Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting , in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. 1Pet 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 1Pet 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit , which is in the sight of God of great price . 2Ki 9:30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face , and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 1Tim 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel , with shamefa...
