The Gospel in Galatians
Our Goal
To reflect on our own
understanding of the gospel.
Allow God’s Spirit to spark a
spiritual revival in our hearts as we rediscover what God has done for
us in Christ.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Upang pag-isipan ang sariling pagkaunawa sa ebanghelyo. ¶ Pahintulutan ang Espiritu ng Diyos na pasiklabin ang isang espirituwal na ribaybal sa ating puso habang tinutuklas natin muli ang ginawa ng Diyos para sa atin kay Cristo.

The Gospel in Galatians
Lesson 9, August 26
Paul’s Pastoral Appeal
Ang Panawagang Pastoral ni Pablo

7. Friends, I beg you, become as
Paul’s Pastoral Appeal
Key Text
Galatians 4:12 NRSV
Friends, I beg you, become as
I am, for I also have become as you are.”
Susing Talata. “Mga kaibigan, nakikiusap ako sa inyo, kayo’y maging kagaya ko, sapagkat ako’y naging katulad din ninyo” (Galacia 4:12).

8. Paul’s Pastoral Appeal
Initial Words
In Galatians 4:12–20 Paul changes his approach and now he makes a more personal, pastoral appeal.
Paul reveals the genuine concern, worry, hope, and love of a good shepherd for his wayward flock.
He was not just correcting theology; he was seeking to minister to those whom he loved.
Panimulang Salita. Sa Galacia 4:12-20 ay binago ni Pablo ang kanyang paraan at ngayo’y gumagawa siya ng mas personal na panawagang pastoral. ¶ Inihahayag ni Pablo ang tunay na malasakit, pagkabahala, pag-asa, at pagmamahal ng isang mabuting pastol sa naliligaw niyang kawan. ¶ Hindi lang niya itinutuwid ang teolohiya; naghahangad siyang paglingkuran yung kanyang minamahal.

11. 1. A Good Shepherd’s Concern
The Heart of Paul
The initial indication of the concern that weighs heavily on Paul’s heart is his personal appeal in verse 12.
Paul’s concern was not simply about doctrinal points of view. His heart was bound up with the lives of the people who were brought to Christ through his ministry.
Ang Puso ni Pablo. Ang unang indikasyon ng malasakit na mabigat na dumadagan sa puso ni Pablo ay ang kanyang personal na panawagan sa talatang 12. ¶ Ang malasakit ni Pablo ay di lang tungkol sa pananaw sa doktrina. Ang puso niya’y nakatali sa buhay ng mga tao na nadala kay Cristo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang ministeryo.

12. transformation into the likeness of Christ
1. A Good Shepherd’s Concern
The Challenge to Become
To be a follower of Christ is more than just the profession of faith;
it involves a radical transformation into the likeness of Christ.
Paul asks that they “become as” he is—he is talking about being, not acting. The trouble in Galatia was not an ungodly lifestyle. It was more about “being” than “behavior.”
transformation into
the likeness of Christ
Ang Hamon na Maging. Ang maging isang tagasunod ni Cristo ay higit pa sa pagpapahayag lang ng pananampalataya; ¶ kasangkot dito ang isang radikal na pagbabago tungo sa larawan ni Cristo. ¶ Hinihiling ni Pablo that sila’y “maging gaya” niya—nagsasalita siya tungkol sa pagiging, hindi ang pagganap. Ang problema sa Galacia ay hindi ang napakasamang istilo ng buhay. Higit ito tungkol sa “pagiging” kaysa “pagkilos.”

13. 1. A Good Shepherd’s Concern
The Challenge to Become
Because his concern was with the law-centered religion of the Galatians, Paul surely had in mind the wonderful love, joy, freedom, and certainty of salvation he had found in Jesus Christ.
In light of the surpassing wonder of Christ, Paul longed for the Galatians themselves to have that same experience.
Dahil sa ang kanyang pag-aalala ay sa relihiyon ng mga taga-Galacia na naka-sentro sa kautusan, tiyak na ang nasa isip ni Pablo’y ang kamangha-manghang pag-ibig, kagalakan, kalayaan, at katiyakan ng kaligtasan na nasumpungan niya kay Jesu-Cristo. ¶ Sa liwanag ng humihigit na hiwaga ni Cristo, inasam ni Pablo na ang mga taga-Galacia mismo ay magkaron nang katulad na karanasan.

Paul’s Pastoral Appeal
2. A Good Shepherd’s Hope
Galatians 4:12b Amplified
Brethren, I beg you, become as I am, [free from the bondage of Jewish ritualism and ordinances], for I also have become as you are [a gentile].”
2. Ang Pag-asa ng Mabuting Pastol. “Mga kapatid, nakikiusap ako sa inyo, maging gaya ko, [malaya sa pagkaalipin ng maka-Judiong ritwalismo’t kaugalian], sapagkat ako rin ay naging katulad ninyo [isang hentil]” (Galacia 4:12b Amplified).

15. 2. A Good Shepherd’s Hope
I Have Become as You Are
Why should the Galatians become like Paul, if he had already become like them?
He had become a Gentile “without the law” so that he might reach the Gentiles among them with the gospel.
Although the gospel remained the same, Paul’s method varied, depending on the people he was trying to reach.
Ako’y Naging Katulad Ninyo. Bakit dapat maging katulad ni Pablo ang mga taga-Galacia, kung siya’y naging kagaya na nila? ¶ Siya’y naging isang Hentil na “walang kautusan upang maabot niya sa pamamagitan ng ebanghelyo ang mga Hentil sa kalagitnaan nila. ¶ Bagaman nanatiling pareho ang ebanghelyo, nagbabago ang paraan ni Pablo, depende sa mga taong sinisikap niyang abutin.

2. A Good Shepherd’s Hope
Contextualization
Paul believed there were limits to how far someone should go in contextualizing the gospel.
While one is free to reach out in different ways to Jews and Gentiles, this freedom does not include the right to live a lawless lifestyle,
for Christians are under the
“law of Christ.”
Kontekstuwalisasyon. Naniniwala si Pablo na may mga hangganan kung saan ka makakaabot sa paglalagay sa konteksto nang ebanghelyo. ¶ Bagaman malaya ka sa pag-abot sa iba’t ibang paraan sa mga Judio’t Hentil, ang kalayaang ito’y hindi kasama ang karapatang mamuhay nang hindi ayon sa batas, sapagkat ang mga Kristiyano ay nasa ilalim ng “kautusan ni Cristo.”

18. What reason could they give now for their change of attitude?
3. A Good Shepherd’s Love
Then and Now
Paul’s suffering was so unpleasant that it became a trial to the Galatians. But they welcomed Paul wholeheartedly because their hearts had been warmed by the preaching of the Cross and the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
What reason could they give now for their change of attitude?
Noon at Ngayon. Ang pagdurusa ni Pablo ay talagang di kasiya-siya kaya ito’y naging isang pagsubok sa mga taga-Galacia. Pero tinanggap nila si Pablo nang buong puso dahil ang puso nila’y pinainit ng pangangaral ng Krus at nang panghihikayat ng Banal na Espiritu. ¶ Anong dahilan ang maibibigay nila ngayon sa pagbabago ng kanilang saloobin?

19. 3. A Good Shepherds Love
Then and Now
Paul’s illness could have provided him with an excuse either to blame God for his problems or to simply give up on preaching the gospel.
Instead of letting his situation get the best of him, Paul used it as an opportunity to rely more fully on God’s grace.
Ang sakit ni Pablo ay maaaring nakapagbigay sa kanya ng dahilan na alinma’y sisihin ang Diyos sa kanyang problema o simpleng itigil ang pangangaral ng ebanghelyo. ¶ Sa halip na bayaan ang kanyang sitwasyon na talunin siya, ay ginamit ni Pablo ito na isang pagkakataon para umasa ng mas lubusan sa biyaya ng Diyos.

20. 3. A Good Shepherds Love
Speaking the Truth
“Speaking the truth” often has negative connotations, especially when it can be viewed as a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred, spare-no-enemies tactic of telling someone the facts, no matter how unpleasant or unwanted they may be.
Sinasabi ang Katotohanan. Kadalasan na ang “pagsasabi ng katotohanan” ay may negatibong pakahulugan, lalo na kung maaaring tingnan ito na isang matinding dumale, walang pangundangan, walang pinapatawad na taktika nang pagsasabi sa iba ng katotohanan, gaano man hindi kasiya-siya o inaayawan ito.

21. 3. A Good Shepherd’s Love
Speaking the Truth
We do it because we care about the person, not because we want to cause hurt, although at times the immediate effect of our words is hurt, or even anger and resentment against us.
We do it anyway, because we know it is what the person needs to hear, no matter how much he or she might not want to do so.
Ginagawa natin ito dahil minamahal natin ang tao, hindi dahil gusto nating makasakit, bagaman kadalasang ang kaagad na epekto ng ating mga salita’y kirot, o kahit pa galit at sama ng loob laban sa atin. ¶ Gagawin pa rin natin, dahil alam natin na ito ang kailangang marinig ng tao, gaano mang ayaw nilang pakinggan ito.

22. holy spirit’s mighty power
Paul’s Pastoral Appeal
Final Words
The apostle’s earnest words of entreaty were not fruitless. The Holy Spirit wrought with mighty power, and many whose feet had wandered into strange paths, returned to their former faith in the gospel.
Henceforth they were steadfast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free.”—The Acts of the Apostles 388
holy spirit’s
mighty power
Huling Pananalita. “Ang marurubdob na salita ng apostol ay hindi walang-bunga. Gumawa ang Banal na Espiritu nang may kapangyarihan at maraming may mga paang napagala sa maling daan, ang bumalik sa dati nilang pananampalataya sa ebanghelyo. ¶ Mula noon ay naging matatag sila sa kalayaang ibinigay sa kanila ni Cristo.”—The Acts of the Apostles 388
