PARENTS, PAKIBASA!
The worst inheritance you can give your children is not the absence of wealth, education, property, or material gainโit is giving them a religion without Christ.
Hindi pwedeng impose ka lang ng impose ng religion. You must fall on your knees and plead for Godโs mercyโthat He would rescue them and draw them to the foot of the cross.
Maraming mga magulang ang guilty rito:
- Uutusan ang anak mag-church na para bang ang church ang magliligtas sa anak.
- Itutulak silang mag-ministry na para bang pag may ministry ang anak "spiritually matured" na.
- Nire-require ang Bible reading na para bang academic task lang.
- Pangunahan sila sa "panalangin ng pagtanggap" na para bang sapat na iyon para siguruhing ligtas ang anak.
Parents, wala sa kahit anong iyan ang makapagliligtas sa mga anak ninyo!
Sabi nga mismo ng Panginoon in John 6:44, โNo one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him.โ Hindi mo mai-impose ang kaligtasan sa mga anak mo. Salvation is solely the work of God.
So pray for your children. Do not merely instruct themโintercede for them.
Proverbs 22:6 says, โTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.โ
The word train (Hebrew: chanach) carries the idea of consecration, dedication, even inauguration.
Nakakaligtaan ng maraming mga magulang ang essential meaning ng talatang iyan sa aklat ng mga Kawikaan. They reduce โtrainingโ to religious routineโraising children who are familiar with Christian activity, but strangers to Christ Himself.
No, dear parents! Huwag mo lang iutos sa mga anak ninyo kung ano ang dapat nilang gawin.
Through prayer, faithful discipleship, and a life that reflects the gospel, consecrate your children to the Lord. Ipagkatiwala mo sila sa Diyos. With love, ibabad mo sila sa mga katotohanang inihayag ng Diyos sa simula pa langโso that as they grow, hindi na magiging iba sa kanila ang mga katotohanang iyon. They will feel at home with it.
