LAW ONE

God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.

LAW ONE

TI DIOS AY-AYATENNAKA KEN ADDA NAKAKASKASDAAW A PLANO NA KENKA.
(References contained in this booklet should be read in context from the Bible whenever possible)(Dagiti versiculos nga linaon daytoy a librito ket abasa iti nasantoan a Biblia.)
God's LoveTi Ayat Ti Dios
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, NIV)“Gapu iti kasta unay a panagayat ti Dios iti lubong, intedna ti kakaisuna nga Anakna tapno ti siasinoman a mamati kenkuana saan a matay no di ket maaddaan iti biag nga agnanayon.” (Juan 3:16)
God's PlanTi Plano Ti Dios
[Christ speaking] “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” [that it might be full and meaningful]. (John 10:10)[Ni Cristo ti agsasao] “Immayak tapno maaddaanda iti biag nga awan pagkuranganna.” (Juan 10:10)
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because... Apay a kaadduan kadagiti tattao ket saanda nga mapadasan ti biag nga nawadwad ken awan pagkuranganna?
Agsipud ta....

LAW TWO

People are SINFUL and SEPARATED from God so we cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for our life.

LAW TWO

TI TAO MANAGBASOL KEN NAISINA ITI DIOS. ISUT GAPUNA NGA DINA MAAMMOAN KEN MAPADASAN TI AYAT KEN PLANO TI DIOS ITI BIAGNA.
People are SinfulTi Tao Managbasol
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)“Nagbasol amin a tao ket adayoda iti panangisalakan ti Dios.” (Roma 3:23)
We were created to have a personal relationship with God, but by our own choice and self-will we have gone our own independent way and that relationship has been broken. This self-will, often seen as an attitude of active rebellion towards God or a lack of interest in Him, is an evidence of what the Bible calls sin.Ti tao naparsua tapno makilangenlangen iti Dios; ngem gapu iti kinasukirna, pinilina ti biag nga bukbukodna, ket ti pannakilangenlangenna iti Dios naputed Ti naimbubukodan a pakinakem ti tao ken ibubusorna iti Dios, ket isut kuna ti Biblia a basol.
People are SeparatedTi tao Naisina
"The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God]. (Romans 6:23)“Ta patay ti bayad ti basol.” (Naespirituan a pannakaisina iti Dios) (Roma 6:23)
This picture illustrates that God is holy and people are sinful. A great gap separates the two. The arrows illustrate that people are continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through their own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion – but they always fail.Ti Dios nasantoan ket ti tao managbasol. Naiyadayo ti tao iti Dios. Kanayon a padpadasen ti tao nga gun-uden ti Dios ken ti nawadwad a biag babaen iti bukodna a pigsa kas iti panagsingsingpet ken ti reliyon ngem dina kabaelan.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gap…Ti Maikatlo a linteg ipalawagna ti sungbat daytoy nga parikut.

LAW THREE

Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for our sin. Through Him alone you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

LAW THREE

Ni Jesu-Cristo laeng ti inted ti Dios a nangikaro iti basol ti tao. Babaen kenkuana maammoam ken mapadasam ti ayat ken plano ti dios iti biagmo.
He Died in Our PlaceNatay Gapu Kadatayo
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)“Ngem impakita ti Dios ti ayatna kadatayo: Idi managbasol tayo pay laeng, natay ni Cristo gapu kadatayo.” (Roma 5:8)
He Rose From the DeadNagungar Nanipud Kadagiti Natay
"Christ died for our sins…He was buried…He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures…He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…" (1 Corinthians 15:3-6)“Inyawatko kadakayo ti kangrunaan nga inawatko: a natay ni Cristo gapu kadagiti basoltayo, a kas kuna ti Nasantoan a Surat; naitanem ken nagungar iti maikatlo nga aldaw, kas kuna iti Nasantoan a Surat; nagparang ken ni Pedro, sa kadagiti sangapulo ket dua nga apostoles. Kalpasanna, nagparang iti naminsan kadagiti nasurok a limagasut a kakabsattayo…” (1 Corinto 15:3‑6)
He Is the Only Way to GodNi Cristo Laeng Ti Dalan
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'" (John 14:6)“Siak ti dalan, ken ti pudno, ken ti biag; awan ti makapan iti Ama no di magna kaniak” insungbat ni Jesus. (Juan 14:6)
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.Rinangtayan ti Dios ti pannakaisina ti tao kenkuana babaen ti panangibaonna iti Anakna, ni Jesu-Cristo. tapno matay iti lugar tayo ken bayadanna ti supapak ti basbasoltayo.
It is not enough just to know these three laws... Ngem saan nga umanay ti pannakaammotayo kadagitoy tallo nga linlinteg...

LAW FOUR

We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

LAW FOUR

Masapul a tunggal maysa kadatayo AWATENTAYO ni Jesu-Cristo a kas personal a mangisalakan ken apo, tapno maammoan ken mapadastayo ti ayat ken plano ti Dios iti biagtayo.
We Must Receive ChristMasapul nga awatentayo ni Cristo
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." (John 1:12)“Ngem kadagiti amin nga immawat kenkuana, inikkanna ida iti kalintegan nga agbalin nga annak ti Dios.” (Juan 1:12)
We Receive Christ Through FaithAwatentayo ni Cristo Babaen ti Pammati
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)“Ta gapu ti parabur ti Dios, naisalakankayo babaen ti pammati. Saanyo a bukod nga aramid no di ket sagut ti Dios. Awan ti mabalinyo a pagtangsit ta saanyo nga aramid.” (Efeso 2:8,9)
We Receive Christ by Personal InvitationAwatentayo Ni Cristo babaen ti Personal a Panangawis
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” (Revelation 3:20)[Ni Cristo ti agsasao] “Denggem, agtakderak iti ruangan (ti biag) ket agtuktokak. No adda siasinoman a makangngeg iti timekko ket luktanna ti ruangan, sumrekakto.” (Apokalipsis 3:20)
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.Ti panangawat ken Cristo isut panangtallikud ti basol ken panagsubli iti Dios, panagtalek ti pammakawana ken pagbalinennatayo a tao a kas mayannurot ti pagayatanna. Saan nga umdas ti pannakaammo kadagiti sasaona wenno ti pannakapadas ti naisangsangayan nga rikna. Tarigagayan tayo nga awaten ni Cristo iti biag tayo babaen ti pammati.

You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through PrayerMABALINMO NGA AWATEN NI CRISTO ITA MET LAENG BABAEN TI KARARAG A NAPASNEK KEN ADDAAN PAMMATI
(Prayer is talking with God)(Ti panagkararag isu ti pannakisao ti Dios)
God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:Ammo ni Apo Dios ta pusom. Saan nga dagiti isawangmo nga saom ti kitaen ti Dios, no di ket ti tarigagay ti pusom. Daytoy a kararag ti mabalinmo a suroten.
Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. “Apo Jesus, masapulka. Luktak ita ti ruangan ti biagko tapno awatenka a kas personal nga mangisalakanko ken Apo. Agyamanak ti panangpakawanmo kadagiti basbasolko. Sika Apo ti mangituray ti biagko ket pagbalinennak met a tao a kas mayannurot ti pagayatam. Amen.”
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now.Daytoy kadi a kararag ket iyebkas na ti tarigagay ta pusom?
Christ will come into your life as He promised. No kasta, mabalinmo nga ikararag daytoy a kararag ita met laeng, ket ni Cristo sumrek iti biagmo a kas ti inkarina.
How to Know That Christ Is in Your LifeNO KASANO TI PANNAKAAMMOM ITI KAADDA NI CRISTO TI BIAGMO.
Did you receive Christ into your life? According to His promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now in relation to you? Christ said that He would come into your life. Would He mislead you? On what authority do you know that God has answered your prayer? (The trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word, the Bible.)Bayat ti panagkararagmo, sipapasnekka kadi nga nangawat ken Cristo dita biagmo? No napudno ti panagkararagmo, ket pinastrekmo ni Jesus iti biagmo babaen ti pammati, sadinno ti ayan ni Cristo itan kenka? (Apocalipsis 3:20) Kinuna ni Jesus nga sumrek iti biagmo. Agulbud ngata kenka? Kasano’t pannakaammom a sinungbatan ti Dios ti kararagmo? (Ti Dios ken ti Saona mapagtalkan).
The Bible promises Eternal Life to all who receive Christ.INKARI TI BIBLIA TI BIAG NGA AGNANAYON KADAGITI AMIN NGA UMAWAT KENNI CRISTO.
"God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:11-13)“Daytoy ngarud ti pammaneknek: Inikkannatayo ti Dios ti biag nga agnanayon ket masarakan daytoy a biag iti Anakna. Ti mangikut iti Anak, ikutanna met daytoy a biag; ti saan a mangikut iti Anak ti Dios, saanna met nga ikutan daytoy a biag. Insuratko dagitoy kadakayo a mamati iti nagan ti Anak ti Dios, tapno maammoanyo nga adda biagyo nga agnanayon.” (I Juan 5:11-13)
Thank God often that Christ is in your life and that He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). You can know on the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that you have eternal life from the very moment you invite Him in. He will not deceive you.Agyamanka a kanayon iti Dios gapu ti kaadda ni Cristo iti biagmo ken ti saanna a panangpanaw kenka uray kaanoman (Hebreo 13:5). Mabalinmo nga maammoan a ni Cristo addan a makipagnaed kenka ken addan biagmo nga agnanayon manipud panangawatmo ken Cristo kas inkarina. Di na kanto allilawen.
An important reminder …Napateg nga balakad…
Do Not rely on your FeelingsDIKA AGTALEK TI RIKRIKNA
The promise of God's Word, the Bible - not our feelings - is our authority. The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word. This train diagram illustrates the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience). (Read John 14:21)Ti kari ti Dios iti Biblia ti pagtalgedan tayo. Ti Cristiano agbiag babaen ti pammati wenno panagtalek iti Dios ken ti Saona. Ti rikrikna agbaliw ngem ti Dios ken ti Saona saan nga agbaliw. Ti trak nga adda ti baba ipakitana ti relasyon ti PUDNO (ti Dios ken ti Saona). PAMMATI (panagtalektayo iti Dios ken ti Saona), ken RIKNA (bunga ti pammati ken panagtulnog tayo) .(Juan 14:21)
The unit will run with or without a trailer. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the unit by the trailer. In the same way, as Christians we do not depend on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and promises of His Word.Ti trak agtaray addaman wenno awan ti trailer. Ngem awan mamaayna no ti trailer padasenna nga guyuden ti trak. Kasta met kadatayo nga Cristiano Saantayo nga agtalek kadagiti rikrikna, ngem agtalek tayo iti kinamatalek ti Dios ken kadagiti karkarina manipud iti Nasantoan nga Saona.
Now That You Have Received ChristITA TA INAWATMON NI CRISTO
The moment you received Christ by faith, as an act of the will, many things happened, including the following:Iti kanito a panangawatmo ken Cristo babaen ti pammati, adu nga banbanag ti napasamak kenka:
Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20 and Colossians 1:27)1. Simrek ni Cristo iti biagmo. (Apocalipsis 3:20, Colosas 1:27)
Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14)2. Napakawanen dagiti basbasolmo. (Colosas 1:14)
You became a child of God (John 1:12)3. Nagbalinka nga anak ti Dios. (Juan 1:12)
You received eternal life (John 5:24)4. Adda biagmon nga agnanayon. (Juan 5:24)
You began the great adventure for which God created you. (John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)5. Nangrugika nga agbiag kas nangparsuaan ti Dios Kenka. (Juan 10:10, 2 Corinto 5:17, 1 Tesalonica 5:18)
Can you think of anything more wonderful that could happen to you than receiving Christ? Would you like to thank God in prayer right now for what He has done for you? By thanking God, you demonstrate your faith.Adda kadi mapanunutmo a banag nga naim-imbag a maaramid kenka ngem iti panangawatmo ken Cristo? Kayatmo kadi ti agyaman ken Apo Dios babaen ti panagkararag gapu ti inaramidna kenka? Ti panagyamanmo iti Dios iparangarangmo ti pammatim.
Suggestions for Christian GrowthBALBALAKAD NGA AGPAAY ITI NACRIS-TIANOAN NGA IDADAKKEL
Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. "...The righteous man shall live by faith" (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following: Ti naespirituan nga idadakkel ket isut bunga ti panagtalek ken ni Jesu-Cristo. “Ti nalinteg a tao ket agbiag babaen ti pammati.” (Galatia 3:11). Ti panagbiag babaen ti pammati pabilgenna ti panangitalekmo iti Dios iti amin nga paset ti biagmo. Dagiti sumaganad makatulongda iti naespirituan nga idadakkel:
Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7)1. Agkararagka ti inaldaw-aldaw. (Juan 15:7)
Read God's Word daily. (see Acts 17:11) Begin with the Gospel of John.2. Inaldaw nga basaem ti Biblia, isu ti Sao ti Dios (Aramid 17:11). Irugim ti Ebangelio ni San Juan.
Obey God moment by moment. (see John 14:21)3. Agtulnogka iti Dios nga kankanayon. (Juan 14:21)
Witness for Christ by your life and words. (see Matthew 4:19 and John 15:8)4. Agsaksika babaen ti sao ken aramid. (Mateo 4:19, Juan 15:8)
5 Trust God for every detail of your life. (1 Peter 5:7)5. Italekmo iti Dios iti isu amin nga paset ti biagmo. (1 Pedro 5:7)
Holy Spirit – allow Him to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8).6. Pagturayem ti Espiritu Santo iti biagmo nga kankanyon ken iti panagsaksim. (Galacia 5:16,17, Aramid 1:8)
Fellowship in a Good ChurchTI PATEG TI PUDNO NGA IGLESIA
God’s Word instructs us not to forsake “the assembling of ourselves together” (Hebrews 10:25).Ti Hebreo 10:25, balakadanna tayo nga saan tayo nga baybay-an “ti panaggigimong....”
The Bible tells us the importance of meeting together with other Christians (Hebrews 10:25).
Have you ever watched a fire burning in a fireplace? Several logs together burn brightly. But if you pull one log away from the fire, its flame soon goes out. The same thing happens to us if we do not spend time with other Christians. Attend a church where Christ is talked about and the Bible is taught. Start this week and make plans to attend regularly.		Ti sumagmamano nga sungrod mapuoranda nga narubrub, ngem mangilasinka ti maysa ket maiddep ti apoyna. Kasta met ti relasyon tayo kadagiti dadduma nga Cristiano. No saanka pay nga naikameng iti maysa nga iglesia, saanmo nga urayen nga awisendaka. Sarungkaram ti asideg nga iglesia a ni Cristo ti maitantan-ok, maidaydayaw, ken maisursuro ti Saona. Irugim ita nga lawas ket dika liwliwayan ti makigimong.
