Understanding the Grace of God shared by Pastor Isaias (Boyet) Songcuan Jr. in English & Tagalog Languages.

Good evening everyone,Today is Friday,March 6,2020.

I would like to share to you tonight, the book of Ephesians chap.2 ,verses 1- 10. Now, have your bible ready as we on verse by verse. In verse 1( please read your bible) = This is a total " depravity" ( kabulukan) due to the fall and original sins, This is a description of their past moral and spiritual condition separated from the life of god. Apostle Paul wrote the great purpose and plan if God "cultimating" in the universal Headship of Christ, All of which is to be for the Praise of His Glory. He now proceeds( Paul) to explain the steps of which God will accomplished His purposes beginning with the salvation of individuals , But..... only those certain individuals that have "Close Relationship" with God. In verse 2(please read your bible) = " Ruler of the kingdom of air"= This is satan, and this guy is also a spirit, masamang spiritu, salbahe e kanga.he's a really bad spirit, satan heads up the "system" of this world.he no " mere" earthbound enemy, and he's already here on earth, roaming around looking for a victim 24 hrs.a day rumoronda. The spirit of satan which fills all "unbelievers" thereby working Disobedience. Patitigasin niya ang puso, at kaisipan ng tao na hindi susunod sa kautusan, at alituntunin ng Diyos. In verse 3( please read your bible)= Before, we are also the children of Disobedience, and we also have the bad manners of life, evil cravings. The minds of "unredeemed" individuals, is the "Laboratory" ( laboratoryo) of perverted thoughts o baluktot na kaisipan, impressions,and imaginations, that often times it does not exist. God wrath is "Unalterably" opposed to sin. In verse 4( please read your bible) = His mercy comes to us by means of the cross. (John 3: 16) His love was shown to us at the Calvary, But.....only, to those who believes and have " FAITH" In verse 5( please read your bible) = "He made us alive"= Here, it shows that we could no means help ourselves without Chirst, This "new life" is given to us through ourCD "Identification" with Christ, in His death and Resurrection. In Romans 6: verse 3 ( please read) =When Christ died on the cross,in the mind of God,we died with him, in other words, He became our substitute and our "Identification" with Him in His death gives us all the benefits for which He died; the idea is that, "He Did It All For Us". And in Galatians 2: V 20( please read your bible) = As the foundation of all Victory, we have new life not by our own strength, and ability but by virtue of us dying with Him on the cross ,and being raised with Him in "Newness" of life. This is our "I.D" to gain access to this new life. Wala po sa Recto yan, ayaw din ni Jesus ang baklas na I.D. at wala pong na bibili niyan, libre po yan, walang bayad. Just remain faithful in following Jesus , open your hearts and He will give you access to this new life.

God's Grace is Abundant, and comes to us in an "Uninterrupted" flow, wala pong patid,o pag tigil. Let's continue in verse 6 of Ephesians chapter 2 ( please read your bible)= This is the resurrection of Christ from the tomb,and "OUR" Resurrection as well, noong una patay tayo sa kasalanan( we are dead from sin, But now- we are Resurrected from that old rotten life( bulok na pamumuhay). We could easily compare our kind of life before, when we are still with the enemy , with those evil cravings, and evil desires, it's a big difference. In verse 7( please read your bible)= In the ages that are coming, one after the other, mamanahin nila Ito sa jnyo,at sa atin lahat na maliligtas din sila,most specially sa mga loved ones natin. The believer's "Golden Age" ( mga tatang -ager, nanang-ager) are always future, never past, Here, I'm talking about the future of "Eternal Blessings" with Christ, God always able to show kindness and mercy. In verse 8( please read your bible) = This is the Goodness of God, - His Grace, The grace of God consist of His Kindness, " Unmerited Favor" and forgiving Love.it says here; "You have been save through faith" = save = it has a wide range of meanings, it includes, Salvation from God's wrath ( sumpa) which we all have incurred by our sinfulness. And Faith in Christ = is the only means of being made right with God, not from ourselves, no human effort can contribute to our salvation, it is the "Gift of God". In verse 9(please read your bible)= "Not by works"= no one cannot earn salvation by his works,and no one can merit salvation through his works, ( demerit ang halaga niyan) or Boast in his own ability and strength, hindi makukuha ito sa lakas at kakayahan. "No one can Boast " = wala tayong dapat ipag malaki, kung ano ang ginawa natin, baka pati yung nag tulak ka ng kotse ng kumpare mo kasi ayaw umandar, king ano ano ang ipinapakita mo,pati litrato ng biyenan mo,para lang malaman na Mahal mo ang pamilya ng asawa mo ( sipsip) no one can take credit for his/her salvation. In verse 10= (please read your bible) = "Workmanship"= we are all "prepared" in advance,( bago pa tayo isilang) Carries forward the theme of God's sovereign purpose and planning. We are not suppose to destroy the plan and purpose of God on us. For if we are God's workmanship, our salvation cannot be ourselves, God is our only salvation and a good result will surely follow into our lives. Our memory erse; is in Phillippians 2: V 3 just read it when you get a chance.
