神所要的敬畏是與祂建立親密的關係, 因為神要藉此賜福給凡敬畏祂的人，但真正的敬畏不是在言語上，我們要用實際的行動表現出來。

God wants to bless those who fear Him but what does it mean to fear God? This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explains that those who have an intimate relationship with God are in awe of Him, and that true awe is revealed not in words but by deeds.

The post Revering God to the End appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Si Hesus ang wakas at tunay na paghuhukom ng Diyos sa kasalanan at kasamaan. Ngayong Linggo, ipinapaalala sa atin ni Ptr. Joseph Ouano na sa krus ni Hesus, nawalan na ng kapangyarihan ang kasalanan at natalo na ang kasamaan. Ibigay natin ang ating buong pagtitiwala kay Hesus na Siyang ating tagapagligtas at pag-asa!

Jesus is God’s final and true judge for sin and evil. This week, Ptr. Joseph Ouano reminds us that sin lost its power on the cross and Jesus has defeated evil. Let us put our trust in Him who is our Savior and our Hope.

Hindi madali ang maglingkod sa Diyos, lalo na kung ikaw ay napapalibutan ng mga taong masama, mga pasaning mabigat, at mga suliraning masakit. Ngayong linggo, hinihikayat tayo ni Ptr.

It’s not always easy to serve God, especially when you are beset by bad people, heavy burdens, and painful problems. This week, Ptr. Allan Rillera urges us not to give up serving our God, for He will not forget those who serve him faithfully to the end.

「奪去的損失」是我們自己奪去了神要給我們的祝福。有些基督徒很怕奉獻，因為奉獻對他們來說就是損失，豈不知他們正在奪去神將要給他們的祝福。

“To suffer loss by stealing” is to forfeit the blessings that God wants to give us. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us to not be fearful of giving or to see giving as a loss. For when we withhold what is due to God, we end up losing out on the blessings that God wants to give us.

律法是神與人立約的內容，也是神性情的彰顯； 基督徒是小基督，我們的責任是彰顯基督，不要成為一個沒有信息的使者，沒有基督的基督徒，唯一的方法就是回轉歸向神。

The covenant between God and man is embodied by the Laws, which are also a manifestation of God’s nature. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that Christians are “little Christs” and it is our responsibility to manifest Christ. Let us return to God lest we be messengers without a message or Christians without Christ.
