A Glimpse of Tomorrow
(Isang Sulyap sa Kinabukasan)
Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law. 23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? (Romans 7:21-24 BSB) 21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law. 23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me. Phil. 3:12-14 Amplified Bible “12 Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. Phil. 3:12-14 Amplified Bible 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Eph 2:10 NLT
For we are God’s masterpiece (poiema)…
1. We must not lower God’s standards to fit where we are. Romans 7:12 – “So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.” The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery… murder… steal… covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13:9 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” 1. We must not lower God’s standards to fit who we are. 2. We must not try to make it happen by our own abilities. “Let US make man after our own image, after our likeness…” Gen 1:26. Romans 8:1-2: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit (who gives life) has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do… God did this by sending his own Son… to be a sin offering. And so, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.- Romans 8:3-4. Verse 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV) 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.” Gen 1:26 BSB “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?... You crowned him with glory and honor and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Hebrews 2:6-8 “The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8
