The Gospel in Galatians
Our Goal
To reflect on our own
understanding of the gospel.
Allow God’s Spirit to spark a
spiritual revival in our hearts as we rediscover what God has done for
us in Christ.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Upang pag-isipan ang sarili nating pagkaunawa sa ebanghelyo. ¶ Pahintulutan ang Espiritu ng Diyos na pasiklabin ang isang espirituwal na ribaybal sa ating puso habang tinutuklas natin muli ang ginawa ng Diyos para sa atin kay Cristo.

6. The Road to Faith The Gospel in Galatians Lesson 7, August 12
Ang Daan Patungong Pananampalataya

7. The Road to Faith
Key Text
Galatians 3:22 ESV
Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”
Susing Talata. “Ibinilanggo ng kasulatan ang lahat ng mga bagay sa ilalim ng kasalanan, upang ang ipinangako sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Jesu-Cristo ay maibigay sa mga sumasampalataya” (Galacia 3:22).

8. The Road to Faith
Initial Words
Even after we accept Christ, we can get lost. The good news is that God has not left us to ourselves.
He has mapped out the road to faith, as revealed in the gospel, and that path includes the law.
Without the law we would have no gospel. It’s hard, really, to understand the gospel without the law.
Panimulang Salita. Kahit matapos nating tanggapin si Cristo ay maaari tayong mawaglit. Ang mabuting balita ay hindi tayo iniiwang mag-isa ng Diyos. ¶ Naglagay Siya ng daan patungong pananampalataya, gaya ng inihayag sa ebanghelyo, at kasama sa daang ‘yon ang kautusan. ¶ Kung wala ang kautusan ay wala tayong ebanghelyo. Mahirap talagang maunawaan ang ebanghelyo na wala ang kautusan.

The Road to Faith
1. The Law as Regulator
Galatians 3:21 ESV
Is the law then contrary to the promises of God?
Certainly not!
For if the law had been given that could give life,
then righteousness could indeed be by the law.”
1. Ang Kautusan Bilang Tagakontrol. “Ang kautusan ba ay salungat sa mga pangako ng Diyos? // Tiyak na hindi! // Sapagkat kung ibinigay ang kautusan na makapagbibigay-buhay, ¶ ang katuwiran ay sa pamamagitan ng kautusan” (Galacia 3:21 ESV).

11. different roles and functions
1. The Law as Regulator
The Law and the Promise
God gave both the promise and the law. The law is not at odds with the promise. The two merely have different roles and functions in God’s overall plan of salvation.
The law did regulate life within the covenant. However, the ability to “make alive” is a power exercised by God and His Spirit alone.
different roles and functions
Ang Kautusan at ang Pangako. Parehong ibinigay ng Diyos ang pangako at ang kautusan. Ang kautusan ay hindi laban sa pangako. Ang dalawa ay may magkaiba lang na papel at tungkulin sa pangkalahatang panukala ng Diyos sa kaligtasan. ¶ Kinontrol nga ng kautusan ang buhay sa loob ng tipan. Subalit ang abilidad na “makabuhay” ay isang kapangyarihang ginagampanan lang ng Diyos at Kanyang Espiritu.

12. 1. The Law as Regulator
The Law and the Promise
Seeking to prove the inability of the law to give life, Paul writes in Galatians 3:22, “Scripture has confined all under sin” (ESV).
Because of the extent of sin and the limitations of the law, the promise of eternal life can come to us only through the faithfulness of Christ in our behalf.
Sinisikap na patunayan ang kawalang-kakayahan ng kautusan na magbigay-buhay, isinulat ni Pablo sa Galacia 3:22, “Ibinilanggo ng Kasulatan ang lahat sa ilalim ng kasalanan” ESV. ¶ Dahil sa lawak ng kasalanan at ng mga limitasyon ng kautusan, ang pangako ng buhay na walang hanggan ay darating lang sa atin sa pamamagitan ng katapatan ni Cristo para sa atin.

13. The Road to Faith
2. The Law as “Guard”
Galatians 3:23 NKJV
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.”
2. Ang Kautusan Bilang “Bantay.” “Ngunit bago dumating ang pananampalataya, nabibilanggo tayo at binabantayan sa ilalim ng kautusan, hanggang sa ang pananampalataya ay ipahayag” (Galacia 3:23).

14. In the literal Greek it reads, “before the faith came.”
2. The Law as “Guard”
“Before Faith Came”
In the literal Greek it reads,
“before the faith came.”
Because Paul is contrasting the place of the law before and after Christ (Gal. 3:24), “the faith” is most likely a reference to Jesus Himself and not a reference to Christian faith in general.
“Bago Dumating ang Pananampalataya.” Sa literal na Griyego mababasa ito na “bago dumating ang pananampalataya.” ¶ Dahil inihahambing ni Pablo ang lugar ng kautusan bago at pagkatapos ni Cristo (Galacia 3:24), “ang pananampalataya” ay mas malamang na isang pagtukoy kay Jesus mismo at hindi isang pagtukoy sa pananampalatayang Kristiyano sa pangkalahatan.

15. “Under the Law”
Two Connotations
1. As an alternative way of salvation (Gal. 4:21). The opponents in Galatia were trying to gain life-giving righteousness by obedience.
2. In the sense of being under its condemnation (Rom. 6:14, 15). The law acts as a prison warden, locking up all who have violated it and brought upon themselves the sentence death.
Dalawang Pakahulugan. 1. Bilang alternatibong paraan ng kaligtasan (Galacia 4:21). Ang mga katunggali sa Galacia ay nagsisikap na matamo ang nagbibigay-buhay na katuwiran sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod. ¶ 2. Sa kaisipang nasa ilalim ng paghatol nito (Roma 6:14, 15). Ang kautusan ay kumikilos na isang warden sa presohan, na ikinukulong ang lahat ng lumabag dito at dinala sa kanilang sarili ang sentensya ng kamatayan.

16. The Greek word translated as “kept” (vs. 23) literally means
2. The Law as “Guard”
Positive and Negative
The Greek word translated as “kept” (vs. 23) literally means
“to guard.”
Although it can be used in a negative sense, as to “hold in subjection” or to “watch over” (2 Cor. 11:32), in the
New Testament it generally has a more positive sense of “protecting” or “keeping” (Phil. 4:7, 1 Pet. 1:5).
Positibo’t Nagatibo. Ang salitang Griyego na isinalin na “nabilanggo” (talatang 23) ay literal na nangangahulugang “bantayan.” ¶ Bagaman magagamit ito sa isang negatibong isipan, gaya ng “pagsupil” o “bantayan” (2 Corinto 11:32), ¶ sa Bagong Tipan ito ay kadalasang may mas positibong isipan na “kinakalinga” o “iniingatan” (Filipos 4:7, 1 Pedro 1:5).

17. The same is true with “shut up” (Gal. 3:23). It can be translated
2. The Law as “Guard”
Positive and Negative
The same is true with “shut up”
(Gal. 3:23). It can be translated
“to close” (Gen. 20:18),
“to shut” (Exod. 14:3),
“to enclose” (Luke 5:6), or
“to confine” (Rom. 11:32).
Depending on its context, this word can have either positive or negative connotations.
Totoo rin ito sa “ibinilanggo” (Galacia 3:23). Maaaring isalin ito na // “sarhan” (Genesis 20:18), // “ikulong” (Exodo 14:3), // “hulihin” (Lucas 5:6), // “hanggahan” (Roma 11:32)” ¶ Depende sa konteksto nito, ang salitang ito’y maaaring may positibo o negatibong pakahulugan.

18. it pointed to the Messiah
2. The Law as “Guard”
Positive and Negative
The law was not a curse that God placed upon Israel. On the contrary,
it was intended to be a blessing.
Though its sacrificial system could not ultimately remove sin, it pointed to the promised Messiah who could,
and its laws guiding human behavior protected Israel from many of the vices that plagued other ancient civilizations.
it pointed to the Messiah
Ang kautusan ay hindi isang sumpa na inilagay ng Diyos sa Israel. Taliwas dito, nilayon itong maging isang pagpapala. ¶ Bagaman ang sistemang hain nito ay hindi makapagtatanggal ng kasalanan sa katapusan, nakaturo ito sa ipinangakong Mesiyas na makapag-aalis, ¶ at ang mga kautusan nito na gumagabay sa kilos ng tao ay iningatan ang Israel mula sa maraming bisyo na sumalot sa ibang matatandang sibilisasyon.

19. But after that faith us come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
The Road to Faith
3. The Law as Schoolmaster
Galatians 3:24, 25
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith us come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
3. Ang Kautusan Bilang Tagapagturo. “Ano pa’t ang kautusan ay siyang naging tagapagturo natin upang ihatid tayo kay Cristo, upang tayo’y ariing-ganap sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. ¶ Datapawat ngayong dumating na ang pananampalataya, ay wala na tayo sa ilalim ng tagapagturo” (Galacia 3:24, 25).

20. Disciplinarian” (NRSV), “tutor” (NKJV), or even “guardian” (ESV).
3. The Law as Schoolmaster
Paidagogos
Disciplinarian” (NRSV), “tutor” (NKJV), or even “guardian” (ESV).
The paidagogos was a slave in Roman society who was placed in a position of authority over his master’s sons from the time they turned six or seven until they reached maturity.
Paidagogos. “Tagadisiplina”, “tagapagturo”, o kahit pa “tagabantay.” ¶ Ang paidagogos ay isang alipin sa Romanong lipunan na inilagay sa isang katayuan na may awtoridad sa anak ng kanyang panginoon mula sa edad anim o pito hanggang tumanda.

21. 3. The Law as Schoolmaster
Paidagogos
The law was added to point out sin and provide instruction. This means that the law also has a negative aspect, and that’s because it rebukes and condemns us as sinners.
Yet, God uses even this “negative” aspect for our benefit, because the condemnation that the law brings is what drives us to Christ.
Idinagdag ang kautusan upang palitawin ang kasalanan at magbigay ng tagubilin. Nangangahulugan ito na ang batas ay meron ding negatibong aspeto, at ‘yan ay dahil sa sinusumbatan at hinahatulan tayo bilang mga makasalanan. ¶ Gayunman, ginagamit ng Diyos kahit itong “negatibong” aspeto para sa ating ikabubuti, dahil ang paghatol na dala ng kautusan ang nagtutulak sa atin kay Cristo.

22. Many have interpreted Galatians 3:25 as a complete dismissal of
3. The Law as Schoolmaster
Paidagogos
Many have interpreted Galatians 3:25 as a complete dismissal of
the law.
We are no longer under the law’s condemnation (Rom. 8:3). We are in Christ and enjoying the privilege of being under grace (Rom. 6:14, 15).
Marami ang ipinapaliwanag ang Galacia 3:25 na isang lubos na pagpapaalis ng kautusan. ¶ Wala na tayo sa ilalim ng kahatulan ng kautusan (Roma 8:3). Nakay Cristo na tayo at tinatamasa ang pribilehiyo nang nasa ilalim ng biyaya (Roma 6:14, 15).

23. This is what true liberty and freedom in the gospel is.
3. The Law as Schoolmaster
Paidagogos
This gives us the liberty of serving Christ wholeheartedly, without fear of being condemned for mistakes we might make in the process.
This is what true liberty and freedom in the gospel is.
Binibigyan tayo nito ng kalayaang paglingkuran si Cristo nang buong-puso, na walang takot na nahahatulan sa mga pagkakamaling magagawa natin habang naglilingkod. ¶ Ito ang tunay na kalayaan sa ebanghelyo.

24. The Road to Faith
Final Words
The law of ten commandments is not to be looked upon as much from the prohibitory side, as from the mercy side.
mercy side
Its prohibitions are the sure guarantee of happiness in obedience. As received in Christ, it works in us the purity of character….
To the obedient it is a wall of protection.”—Selected Messages 1:235
Huling Pananalita. “Ang kautusan ng sampung utos ay hindi masyadong titingnan mula sa bahaging nagbabawal, gaya ng mula sa bahagi ng awa. ¶ Ang mga pagbabawal nito’y ang tiyak na garantiya ng kaligayahan sa pagsunod. Dahil sa tinanggap kay Cristo, gumagawa sa satin ito ng kadalisayan ng karakter.... ¶ Ito’y isang pader na nagiingat sa mga masunurin.”—Selected Messages 1:235
