5. Preparations for the End Time
Christ and the End of Days
Today we can see that nearly all of what Jesus warned about has come to pass. We can see the fulfillment of two major time prophecies, as well.
The first is the “time and times and the dividing of time” of Daniel 7:25, which began in the sixth century a.d. (a.d. 538) and ended in the late eighteenth century (a.d. 1798).
Ang Ating Mithiin. Ang tunay na pokus ay kay Jesus—tungkol sa kung sino Siya, anong nagawa Niya para sa atin, anong ginagawa Niya sa atin, at anong gagawin Niya kapag Siya’y bumalik na nga. ¶ Mas lalo tayong nakapokus sa Kanya, mas magiging kagaya Niya tayo, mas susunod tayo sa Kanya, at mas nahahanda tayo para sa lahat ng nalalaan sa atin, parehong sa nalalapit na kinabukasan at sa wakas.

Lesson 4, April 28
Salvation and the
End Time
Ang Kaligtasan at ang Wakas ng Panahon

7. Salvation and the End Time
Key Text
1 John 4:10 NIV
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
Susing Talata. “Narito ang pag-ibig, hindi sa tayo’y umibig sa Diyos, kundi siya ang umibig sa atin, at sinugo ang kanyang Anak na pantubos sa ating mga kasalanan” (1 Juan 4:10).

8. Salvation and the End Time
Initial Words
Christians emphasize not only what Jesus taught but what He did. This is because what Christ did provides the only means by which we are saved.
Christ’s incarnation (Rom. 8:3), His death on the cross (Rom. 5:8), His resurrection (1 Pet. 1:3), and His ministry in heaven (Heb. 7:25)—these acts alone are what save us. It’s not anything in ourselves.
Panimulang Salita. Idiniriin ng mga Kristiyano di lang ang itinuro ni Jesus kundi ang ginawa Niya. Ito’y dahil ang ginawa ni Cristo ang nagbigay ng tanging paraan na tayo’y maligtas. ¶ Ang pagkakatawang-tao ni Cristo (Roma 8:3), ang Kanyang kamatayan sa krus (Roma 5:8), ang Kanyang pagkabuhay na muli (1 Pedro 1:3), at ang Kanyang ministri sa langit (Hebreo 7:25)—ang mga kilos na ito lang ang nagliligtas sa atin. Hindi ang anuman sa ating sarili.

2. The Assurance of Salvation (John 10:28)
3. The Everlasting Gospel (Revelation 14:6, 7)

10. Salvation and the End Time 1. The Love of God
1. Ang Pag-ibig ng Diyos. “Ang hindi umiibig ay hindi nakakakilala sa Diyos; sapagkat ang Diyos ay pag-ibig” (1 Juan 4:8).

11. Christ came to this world to reveal the truth about God the Father.
The Love of God
The Father
Christ came to this world to reveal the truth about God the Father.
“The earth was dark through misapprehension of God. That the gloomy shadows might be lightened, that the world might be brought back to God, Satan’s deceptive power was to be broken.”—The Desire of Ages 22.
Ang Ama. Naparito sa daigdig si Cristo upang ihayag ang katotohanan tungkol sa Diyos Ama. ¶ “Ang lupa ay madilim sa pamamagitan ng maling pagkaunawa sa Diyos. Upang ang madidilim na anino ay mailawan, upang ang daigdig ay maibalik sa Diyos, ang mapandayang kapangyarihan ni Satanas ay wawasakin.”—The Desire of Ages 22.

12. The Love of God
The Father
This God is gracious, compassionate, and slow to anger (Ps. 145:8). He is faithful, has unfailing love (Ps. 143:8), and delights in His followers (Ps. 147:11). God plans to prosper people and give them hope (Jer. 29:11).
In His love, He will no longer rebuke but rejoices over His people with singing (Zeph. 3:17).
Ang Diyos na ito’y mapagpala, puno ng awa, at hindi magagalitin (Awit 145:8). Siya’y tapat at may di nagmamaliw na pag-ibig (Awit 143:8), at nalulugod sa Kanyang mga tagasunod (Awit 147:11). Pinapanukala ng Diyos na pauunlarin ang tao at bigyan sila ng pag-asa (Jeremias 29:11.) ¶ Sa Kanyang pag-ibig, hindi na Siya manunumbat kundi magagalak sa Kanyang bayan na may awitan (Sefanias 3:17).

13. The Love of God
The Son
Jesus was fully God and fully human. The One who upholds “all things by the word of his power” (Heb. 1:3) was the same One who was found as a “babe lying in a manger” (Luke 2:16). The One who “is before all things, and in Him all things consist” (Col. 1:17) is the same One who, as a human child, “increased in wisdom and stature” (Luke 2:52).
Ang Anak. Si Jesus ay lubos na Diyos at lubos na tao. Ang Isa na inaalalayan “ang lahat ng bagay sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng kanyang salita” (Hebreo 1:3) ay Siya ring nasumpungan bilang isang “sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban” (Lucas 2:16). Ang Isa na “una sa lahat ng bagay, at lahat ng mga bagay ay nahahawakang sama-sama sa kanya” (Colosas 1:17) ay Siya rin na, bilang isang bata ay “lumago sa karunungan at pangangatawan” (Lucas 2:52).

14. The Love of God
The Son
The One without whom “nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3) was the same One who was “ ‘murdered by hanging on a tree’ ” (Acts 5:30).
If all this reveals to us Christ’s love for us, and Christ’s love for us is but a manifestation of the Father’s love for us, then no wonder we have so many reasons to rejoice and be thankful!
Ang Isa na kung wala ay “hindi nagawa ang anumang bagay na ginawa” (Juan 1:3) ay Siya rin na “ ‘pinatay nang ibitin sa isang punungkahoy’ ” (Gawa 5:30). ¶ Kung ang lahat ng ito’y inihahayag sa atin ang pag-ibig ni Cristo para sa atin, at ang pag-ibig ni Cristo para sa atin ay isa lang na pagpapakita ng pag-ibig ng Ama para sa atin, kung gayon ay hindi kataka-taka na marami tayong dahilan para magalak at magpasalamat!

15. The Love of God
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit performed two opposite miracles for Christ. First, He brought the omnipresent Christ into the womb of Mary. Christ ascended to heaven confined within that human body.
Second, the Spirit brings Christ confined by His humanity and, in another inexplicable miracle, makes Him present to Christians around the world.
Ang Banal na Espiritu. Ginampanan ng Banal na Espiritu ang dalawang magkatapat na himala para kay Cristo. Una, dinala Niya ang nasa-lahat-ng-dakong Cristo sa bahay-bata ni Maria. Umakyat sa langit si Cristo na nananatili sa katawang tao na ‘yon. ¶ Ikalawa, Dinadala ng Espiritu ang Cristong nalimitahan ng Kanyang pagkatao at, sa isa pang di-maipaliwanag na himala ay ginagawa Siyang naririto sa mga Kristiyano sa buong mundo.

16. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit love us equally.
The Love of God
The Holy Spirit
Thus, the Holy Spirit, along with the Father and the Son, is working in our behalf. “The Godhead was stirred with pity for the race, and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit gave Them-selves to the working out of the plan of redemption.”—Counsels on Health 222.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit love us equally.
Sa gayon, ang Banal na Espiritu, kasama ang Ama at ang Anak, ay gumagawa para sa atin. “Nakilos ang Kadiyosan nang awa para sa lahi, at ang Ama, at ang Banal na Espiritu ay ibinigay ang Kanilang Sarili sa pagpapatupad ng panukala ng katubusan.”—Counsels on Health 222. ¶ Ang Ama, ang Anak, at ang Banal na Espiritu ay iniibig tayo nang pareho.

17. “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
Salvation and the End Time
2. The Assurance of Salvation
John 10:8 NIV
“I give them eternal life,
and they shall never perish;
no one will snatch them
out of my hand.”
2. Ang Katiyakan ng Kaligtasan. “Sila’y binibigyan ko ng buhay na walang hanggan, at kailanma’y hindi sila mapapahamak, ¶ at hindi sila aagawin ng sinuman sa aking kamay” (Juan 10:8).

18. Thus, we can and should live with the assurance of our salvation.
2. The Assurance of Salvation
What God Has Promised
To be prepared for the end time, people must have assurance of salva- tion in the present. They must revel in the reality of salvation in order to face the future unafraid. Yet, as we have seen, all the living Persons of the Godhead are at work to save us.
Thus, we can and should live with the assurance of our salvation.
Ang Ipinangako ng Diyos. Para maging handa sa wakas ng panahon, ang tao ay dapat na merong katiyakan ng kaligtasan sa kasalukuyan. Dapat silang magdiwang sa realidad ng kaligtasan para harapin ang kinabukasan na di natatakot. Gayunman, gaya ng nakita natin, lahat ng buhay na Persona ng Kadiyosan ay gumagawa para iligtas tayo. ¶ Kaya, maaari at nararapat tayong mamuhay na may katiyakan ng ating kaligtasan.

19. God’s people will be found faithful
2. The Assurance of Salvation
What God Has Promised
We are called to live holy lives, but these lives are the result of having been saved by Christ, not the means of achieving that salvation.
God’s people will be found faithful
and obedient in the last days, a faithfulness and obedience that arises from the assurance of what Christ has done for them.
Tayo’y tinawagan para mamuhay nang banal na buhay, subalit ang mga buhay na ito’y ang resulta nang pagkakaligtas ni Cristo, hindi ang paraan nang pagkamit ng kaligtasang ‘yon. ¶ Masusumpungan ang bayan ng Diyos na tapat at masunurin sa mga huling araw, isang katapatan at pagsunod na bumabangon mula sa katiyakan nang ginawa ni Cristo para sa kanila.

20. “...the everlasting gospel ...fear God ...give glory to Him
Salvation and the End Time
3. The Everlasting Gospel
“...the everlasting gospel
...fear God
...give glory to Him
...worship Him....”
3. Ang Walang-hanggang Ebanghelyo. “At nakita ko ang isa pang anghel na lumilipad sa gitna ng himpapawid, na may walang hanggang ebanghelyo na ipahahayag sa mga naninirahan sa lupa, sa bawat bansa, lipi, wika at bayan. ¶ Sinabi niya sa malakas na tinig, “Matakot kayo sa Diyos at magbigay-luwalhati sa kanya, sapagkat dumating na ang oras ng kanyang paghuhukom, at sambahin ninyo ang gumawa ng langit, ng lupa, ng dagat at ng mga bukal ng tubig” (Apocalipsis 14:6, 7).

21. “Just as He chose us in Him before
3. The Everlasting Gospel
Reveals the Love of God
“Just as He chose us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” (Eph. 1:4, 5, NKJV).
What more does this tell us about just how “everlasting” the gospel really is?
Ipinapakita ang Pag-ibig ng Diyos. “Ayon sa pagkapili niya sa atin sa kanya bago itinatag ang sanlibutan, upang tayo’y maging banal at walang dungis sa harapan niya sa pag-ibig. Tayo’y itinalaga sa pagkukupkop upang maging kanyang mga anak sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo, ayon sa kabutihan ng kanyang kalooban” (Efeso 1:4, 5). ¶ Ano pa ang sinasabi nito sa atin tungkol sa kung paano “walang-katapusan” talaga ang ebanghelyo?

22. 3. The Everlasting Gospel
Reveals the Love of God
We were chosen in Him “before the foundation of the world.” An “everlasting” gospel! Even before the Creation of this world, God’s plan was for us to have salvation in Him.
Look at how much these two verses point to God’s desire for us to have eternal life “in Him.”
Tayo’y napili sa Kanya “bago itinatag ang sanlibutan.” Isang “walang-katapusan” na ebanghelyo! Kahit pa bago ang Paglalang ng mundong ito, ang panukala ng Diyos ay para tayo ay magkaron ng kaligtasan sa Kanya. ¶ Tingnan kung gaano nakaturo ang dalawang talatang ito sa kagustuhan ng Diyos para sa atin na magkaron ng walang-hanggang buhay “sa Kanya.”

23. The choice is for us to accept or reject it.
3. The Everlasting Gospel
Reveals the Love of God
How could salvation come from anything we could do if we were elected to have that salvation in Him even before we existed?
And how is this election made manifest in the lives of the elect? To “be holy and without blame before Him in love” (Eph. 1:4, NKJV).
The choice is for us to accept or reject it.
Paanong ang kaligtasan ay magmumula sa anumang magagawa natin kung tayo ay pinili para magkaron ng kaligtasan sa Kanya kahit pa bago tayo nabuhay? ¶ At paanong ang pagpiling ito’y pinalitaw sa buhay ng mga pinili? Para “maging banal at walang dungis sa harapan niya sa pag-ibig” (Efeso 1:4). ¶ Ang pagpili ay para sa atin na tanggapin o tanggihan ito.

24. Salvation and the End Time
Final Words
“If you would gather together everything that is good and holy and noble and lovely in man and then present the subject to the angels of God as acting a part in the salvation
of the human soul or in merit, the proposition would be rejected as treason.”—EGW, Faith and Works 20.
Huling Pananalita. “Kung titipunin mo ang lahat na mabuti at banal at dakila at kaibig-ibig sa tao at pagkatapos ay iharap ang paksa sa mga anghel ng Diyos bilang gumaganap ng isang bahagi sa kaligtasan ng tao o sa merito, ang mungkahi ay tatanggihan bilang kataksilan.”—EGW, Faith and Works 20.
