Listen and Learn
Welcome back to our series “Love the Word of God.” Let’s listen and learn sa importanteng message ng devotional natin ngayon.
Kaya’t ang pananampalataya ay bunga ng pakikinig, at ang pakikinig naman ay bunga ng pangangaral tungkol kay Cristo.
Mga Taga-Roma 10:17
Hallyu, o Korean Wave, ang tawag sa mabilis na pag-usbong ng impluwensya ng Korean entertainment sa Asya. Sa Pilipinas pa lang, marami na ang na-hook sa K-drama at K-pop. Naging routine na ng K-drama fans ang binge watching o series marathon. At ang isa pang nakakabilib, na-memorize na ng K-pop fans ang mga kantang may Korean lyrics kahit hindi naman nila lubusang nauunawaan ito! And that’s not all, some of them have come to understand the lyrics dahil inaral nila ang Korean language for the love of the celebrities they admire!
If only we can give as much dedication in studying the Word of God! If K-pop fans can go the extra mile para pag-aralan ang isang foreign language, why can’t we give as much time, effort, and passion in digging deeper into the Scripture? Romans 10:17 says, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” When we hear, read, and even memorize the Word of God, we will come to understand God’s will. We will know Christ more deeply and grow in His grace (2 Peter 3:18).
Ang pag-iinvest ng time para magbasa ng Salita ng Diyos ay talagang kapaki-pakinabang. We hope you’ll continue to spend your time with us tomorrow as we learn from our series “Love the Word of God.”
LET’S PRAY
Mahal naming Ama, Salamat dahil binigyan po Ninyo kami ng kalayaang magbasa at mag-aral ng Inyong Banal na Salita. Dasal ko na huwag naming balewalain ang kalayaang ito. Bagkus ay aming pagyamanin ang aming nalalaman tungkol sa Inyo.
APPLICATION
Begin the exciting journey of studying the Word of God. Seek the help of a Christian friend or research about how you can start a Bible reading plan. There are tons of resources and materials out there. If reading is not for you, get ahold of audio books online. Doing so can be the best investment of time you can ever make.
