Guarding Our Freedom in Christ | Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC 1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. 7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” 10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! (Galatians 5:1-12) Everyone wants to be free. But true freedom is found only in Christ. Apart from Christ, what people call freedom is just slavery in disguise. They are not really free from sin and selfishness. Consequently, they are also not free to be what God wants them to be and to do, which would result in experiencing life as it was meant to be by God (which is also called eternal life in the Bible). In Christ, we can experience real freedom that leads to eternal life. For this reason, we must guard the freedom we have in Christ at all cost. #churchonline #digical #rlccphil Check out our small group notes here - https://rlcc.ph/devotional/ For more information about RLCC, visit - https://solo.to/rlccphil For your prayer needs, go to - https://m.me/rlccphil To support our ministry, go to - https://groups.rlcc.ph/giving Do you want to grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

#churchonline #digical #rlccphil Picture this: Abraham, the father of faith, embarking on a journey of purpose, with every step, his divine path was becoming clearer before him. Yet, like all of us, his faith faced the crucible of testing. His experience invites us to explore our own journey of faith, for it's not a question of "if" we'll be tested, but "when". When the test happens, where we focus our attention will determine our success in fulfilling our mission in life.

Asking God For Help | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC Date: Nov 4, 2022 Text: Psalm 54:1-7 We sometimes find ourselves in need. Either we are being harassed by evil people or we are in situations where we don't know what to do or how to get out. During such times, we can come to God and ask for help.

#churchonline #digical #rlccphil It is a challenge to talk about religion and politics because these topics are often very sensitive and can be controversial. People often have very strong opinions about religion and politics and are not willing to compromise or see things from different perspectives. This can lead to heated debates and disagreements that can be difficult to navigate or negotiate. But it's always helpful to know what Jesus taught about politics. Perhaps, He alone can bring about the right balance to resolve the disagreements.
