The document discusses that our salvation is a free gift from God, not earned through good works. It is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Christ paid the price for our salvation so that all people could receive the promise of eternal life through faith in Him. The conclusion exhorts the reader to not just accept Jesus as another gift, but to truly submit to His lordship over their lives by cherishing and adoring Him.

We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

4. I. Our Salvation is
OF CHARGE
Romans 6:22, 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ngunit ngayong pinalaya na kayo mula sa
kasalanan at naging alipin na ng Diyos, ang natamo
ninyo'y isang buhay na banal at ang ibinubunga
nito'y buhay na walang hanggan. 23Sapagkat
kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan,
ngunit ang libreng kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na
walang hanggan, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus
na ating Panginoon.
5. I. Our Salvation is
OF CHARGE
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life
“….Gayon na lamang ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa
sangkatauhan, kaya't ibinigay Niya ang Kanyang
kaisa-isang Anak, upang ang
sinumang sumampalataya sa kanya ay hindi
mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang
hanggan. Isinugo ng Diyos ang Kanyang Anak, hindi
upang hatulang maparusahan ang mga tao, kundi
upang iligtas ang mga ito sa pamamagitan Niya.
6. I. Our Salvation is
OF CHARGE
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God…
Sapagkat dahil sa kagandahang-loob ng Diyos
kayo ay naligtas sa pamamagitan ng
pananampalataya; at ang
kaligtasang ito'y kaloob ng Diyos at hindi sa
pamamagitan ng inyong sarili; hindi ito bunga
ng inyong mga gawa kaya't walang dapat
ipagmalaki ang sinuman.
7. “a free gift”
it is something given above and beyond
what is expected or deserved
8. “a gift of grace”
it is something given which was not earned
“good works destroy grace”

11. I. Our Salvation is
By Jesus Christ

13. II. Our Salvation is
By JESUS CHRIST
Galatians 3:14 Christ paid the price so that the blessing promised to
Abraham would come to all the people of the world through Jesus Christ and we
would receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Ginawa ito ni Cristo upang ang mga pagpapalang
ipinangako ng Diyos kay Abraham ay makamtan
din ng mga Hentil sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus.
Sa pamamagitan ng pananalig sa Kanya ay
matatanggap natin ang Espiritung
ipinangako ng Diyos.
