Old Testament Faith The Gospel in Galatians Lesson 5, July 29 Ang Pananampalataya sa Lumang Tipan

Christ redeemed us from the Old Testament Faith Key Text Galatians 3:13 ESV Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.’ ” Susing Talata. “Tinubos tayo ni Cristo mula sa sumpa ng kautusan nang siya’y naging sumpa para sa atin—sapagkat nasusulat, ‘Sumpain ang bawat binibitay sa punungkahoy’ ” (Galacia 3:13).

Old Testament Faith Initial Words It was because of Abraham’s faith in God’s promises that he was counted as righteous, and that same gift of righteousness is available for anyone today who shares Abraham’s faith. The only reason we are not condemned for our mistakes is that Jesus paid the price for our sins by dying in our place. Panimulang Salita. Si Abraham ay ibinilang na matuwid dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya sa mga pangako ng Diyos, at ang katulad na regalo ng katuwiran ay makukuha ninuman ngayon na nakikibahagi sa pananampalataya ni Abraham. ¶ Ang dahilan lang na hindi tayo nahahatulan dahil sa ating mga pagkakamali ay binayaran ni Jesus ang halaga para sa ating mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng pagkamatay sa ating lugar.

1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith (Galatians 3:1-5) Old Testament Faith Quick Look 1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith (Galatians 3:1-5) 2. Righteous Abraham’s Faith (Galatians 3:6, 7) 3. Our Faith in Jesus (Galatians 3:9, 13, 14) 1. Ang Pananampalataya ng mga Hangal na taga-Galacia (Galacia 3:1-5) 2. Ang Pananampalataya ng Matuwid na si Abraham (Galacia 3:6, 7) 3. Ang Pananampalataya Natin kay Jesus (Galacia 3:9, 13, 14)

does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Old Testament Faith 1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith Galatians 3:1-5 NKJV O foolish Galatians! … Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? … Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracle among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” 1. Ang Pananampalataya ng mga Hangal na taga-Galacia. “O hangal na mga taga-Galacia! … Napakahangal ba ninyo? Nagpasimula kayo sa Espiritu, ngayon ba’y nagtatapos kayo sa laman? Ang Diyos ba ay nagbibigay sa inyo ng Espiritu at gumagawa ng mga himala sa gitna ninyo ¶ sa pamamagitan ng inyong pagtupad sa mga gawa ng kautusan o sa pakikinig ng pananampalataya?” (Galacia 3:1-5).

1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith Turning Away Paul is saying that the Cross was such a central part of his preaching that the Galatians had, in effect, seen in their mind’s eye Christ crucified. In a sense, he’s saying that, by their actions, they are turning away from the Cross. Pagtalikod. Sinasabi ni Pablo na ganon na lang kasentro ang Krus sa kanyang pangangaral na ang mga taga-Galacia, sa katunayan, ay nakita nila sa kanilang pag-iisip ang pagkapako ni Cristo. ¶ Sa isang kaisipan ay sinasabi niya na sa kanilang kilos ay tinatalikuran nila ang Krus.

Why did God give the Spirit? 1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith Turning Away Paul then contrasts the current experience of the Galatians with how they first came to faith in Christ. How did they receive the Spirit? Or how did they first become Christians? Pagkatapos ay inihahambing ni Pablo ang kasalukuyang karanasan ng mga taga-Galacia sa kung paano sila unang nakarating sa pananampalataya kay Cristo. ¶ Paano nila tinanggap ang Espiritu? ¶ O, paano sila unang naging mga Kristiyano? ¶ Bakit ibinigay ng Diyos ang Espiritu? ¶ Dahil ba may ginawa sila na nagpagindapat sa kanila rito? Why did God give the Spirit? Was it because they did something to earn it?

1. Foolish Galatians’ Faith Turning Away Certainly not! Instead, it was because they believed the good news of what Christ had already done for them. Having begun so well, what would make them think that now they had to rely upon their own behavior? Tiyak na hindi! ¶ Sa halip, ito’y dahil naniwala sila sa mabuting balita nang nagawa na ni Cristo para sa kanila. ¶ Matapos makapagpasimula nang napakabuti, ano ang nagpaisip sa kanila na kailangan na nila ngayong umasa sa sarili nilang kilos?

1. Foolish Galatians Faith Not Grounded in Scripture Beginning in Galatians 3:6, Paul turns to the testimony of Scripture for the ultimate confirmation of his gospel. Paul uses the Scripture to demonstrate that Jesus is the promised Messiah (Rom. 1:2), to give instruction in Christian living (Rom. 13:8–10), and to prove the validity of his teachings (Gal. 3:8, 9). Hindi Nakaugat sa Kasulatan. Pasimula sa Galacia 3:6, bumabaling si Pablo sa patotoo ng Kasulatn para sa sukdulang pagpapatunay ng kanyang ebanghelyo. ¶ Ginagamit ni Pablo ang Kasulatan upang ipakita na si Jesus ang ipinangakong Mesiyas (Roma 1:2), upang magtagubilin sa pamumuhay Kristiyano (Roma 13:8-10), at upang patunayan ang katumpakan ng kanyang mga katuruan (Galacia 3:8, 9).

Just as Abraham ‘believed God, Old Testament Faith 2. Righteous Abraham’s Faith Galatians 3:6, 7 NKJV Just as Abraham ‘believed God, and it was accounted for him for righteousness.’ Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.” 2. Ang Pananampalataya ng Matuwid na si Abraham. “Kung paanong si Abraham ay sumampalataya sa Diyos, at ito’y ibinilang sa kanya na katuwiran. ¶ Kayat inyong nakikita na ang mga sumasampalataya ay mga anak ni Abraham” (Galatia 3:6, 7).

According to Paul’s metaphor, 2. Righteous Abraham’s Faith Reckoned as Righteous According to Paul’s metaphor, what is placed to our accounts is righteousness. On what basis does God count us as righteous? It was because of Abraham’s faith that God counted him as righteous. He didn’t do the things he did in order to be justified; he did them because he, already, was justified. Ibinilang na Matuwid. Ayon sa metapora ni Pablo, ang nailagay sa ating mga pagkakautang ay katuwiran. Sa anong basehan tayo ibinilang ng Diyos na matuwid? ¶ Dahil sa pananampalataya ni Abraham na siya’y ibinilang ng Diyos na matuwid. ¶ Hindi niya ginawa ang kanyang mga ginawa para ariing-ganap; ginawa niya ang mga ito dahil siya ay inaring-ganap na.

God does all the promising Abraham promises nothing 2. Righteous Abraham’s Faith The Gospel in the Old Testament God says to Abraham four times, “I will.” God does all the promising; Abraham promises nothing. This is the opposite of how most people try to relate to God. We usually promise we will serve Him, if only He will do something for us in return. But that is legalism. God does all the promising Abraham promises nothing Ang Ebanghelyo sa Lumang Tipan. Apat na beses sinabi ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Ako ang gagawa.” Ang Diyos ang nangangako ng lahat; walang ipinangako si Abraham. ¶ Ito’y kataliwas sa kung paano nakikitungo sa Diyos ang karamihan ng mga tao. ¶ Karaniwang nangangako tayong paglilingkuran Siya, kung may gagawin lang Siya sa atin bilang kapalit. Pero legalismo ito.

that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Old Testament Faith 3. Our Faith in Jesus Galatians 3:9, 13, 14 NKJV Those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. … Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us… that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus….” 3. Ang Ating Pananampalataya kay Jesus. “Kaya’t ang mga sumasampalataya ay pinagpalang kasama ng mananampalatayang si Abraham. Tinubos tayo ni Cristo mula sa sumpa ng kautusan nang siya’y naging sumpa para sa atin…. ¶ upang kay Cristo Jesus ang pagpapala ni Abraham ay dumating sa mga Hentil...” (Galatia 3:9, 13, 14).

3. Our Faith in Jesus Redeemed From a Curse Paul is contrasting two completely different alternatives: salvation by faith and salvation by works. The covenant blessings and curses outlined in Deuteronomy 27 and 28 were straightforward. Those who obeyed were blessed, those who disobeyed were cursed. Tinubos Mula sa isang Sumpa. Pinaghahambing ni Pablo ang dalawang lubos na magkaibang pagpipilian: kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya at kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng gawa. ¶ Ang mga pagpapala’t sumpa ng tipan na inihanay sa Deuteronomio 27 at 28 ay malinaw. Pinagpala ang sumunod, at sinumpa ang sumuway.

keep the whole law That means that if a person wants 3. Our Faith in Jesus Redeemed From a Curse That means that if a person wants to rely on obedience to the law for acceptance with God, then the whole law needs to be kept. This is, of course, bad news not only for Gentiles but also for Paul’s legalistic opponents, because we “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). keep the whole law Ibig sabihin nito’y kung ang isang tao’y aasa sa pagsunod sa kautusan para matanggap ng Diyos, kung gayon ay kailangang ingatan ang buong utos. ¶ Siyempre, ito’y masamang balita di lang sa mga Hentil kundi sa mga legalistikong katunggali ni Pablo, dahil lahat tayo’y “nagkasala, at hindi nakaabot sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos”(Roma 3:23).

The curse of failing to keep the law was often a death sentence. 3. Our Faith in Jesus Redeemed From a Curse Paul introduces another metaphor to explain what God has done for us in Christ. The word redeem means “to buy back.” The curse of failing to keep the law was often a death sentence. Jesus voluntarily took our curse upon Himself and suffered in our behalf the full penalty of sin. Ipinasok ni Pablo ang isang pang metapora para ipaliwanag ang ginawa ng Diyos para sa atin kay Cristo. Ang salitang tinubos ay nangangahulugang “bilhing muli.” ¶ Ang sumpa sa hindi pag-iingat ng kautusan ay kadalasang isang sentensiya ng kamatayan. ¶ Boluntaryong kinuha ni Jesus ang ating sumpa sa kanyang sarili at nagdusa para sa atin ng buong kaparusahan ng kasalanan.

counted a transgressor Old Testament Faith Final Words Christ...was counted a transgressor, that He might redeem us from the condem- nation of the law. The guilt of every descendant of Adam was pressing upon His heart. ... counted a transgressor The withdrawal of the divine countenance from the Saviour in this hour of supreme anguish pierced His heart with a sorrow that can never be fully understood by man.”—The Desire of Ages 753. Huling Pananalita. “[Si] Cristo...ay ibinilang na makasalanan, upang matubos Niya tayo mula sa kahatulan ng kautusan. Ang sala ng lahat ng inapo ni Adan ay dumadagan sa Kanyang puso. ... ¶ Ang pagbawi ng banal na mukha mula sa Tagapagligtas sa oras ng sukdulang paghihirap ay tinusok ang Kanyang puso ng isang kalungkutang hinding-hindi lubos na mauunawaan ng tao.”—The Desire of Ages 753.
