The good news is that the invitation to share a meal with God is still open to everyone who is willing. Gusto ni Lord na makasama Niya tayong kumain at mas lalong tayong maging malapit sa Kanya. At dahil si Lord ang nagyaya, Siya rin ang taya (Isaiah 55:1–2). All He wants is for you to say yes to His invitation. Will you come and share a meal with Jesus? All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God is everywhere. A very simple sentence and yet, sa sobrang simple, minsan parang ang hirap intindihin at paniwalaan. Our logic makes us think, how is that even possible?

Ang mga tumanggap kay Jesus as their Lord and Savior ay tumatanggap din sa Holy Spirit. Ang katawan ng believer ay hindi lamang basta “tahanan” na pinananatilian ng Holy Spirit, kundi ikinukumpara ito sa templo o lugar ng pagsamba. Therefore, ang reminder na ito ni Apostle Paul ay tratuhin natin ang ating katawan na lugar ng pagsamba sa Diyos.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God created humans as physical beings essentially with bodies (Genesis 2:7). At sa pagbabalik ni Jesus, kasama ang ating katawan sa kabuuan ng Kanyang pagliligtas (Philippians 3:20–21).

Naaalala mo pa ba noong natutunan mo kung paanong magbilang? Nakaka-excite na umabot sa 100, parang ang laking achievement! But now, parang hindi na masaya ang magbilang.

God gave them confirmation, assurance, and a new identity. Pinagtibay ng Panginoon ang kanilang pananampalataya.
