True Christian thankfulness, therefore, which is here taught, is an acknowledgement and profession of our gracious deliverance, through Christ, from sin and death, and a sincere desire to avoid sin, and every thing that might offend God, and to conform the life according to his will; to desire, expect, and receive all good things from God alone, by a true faith, and to render thanks for the benefits received.

Question 86.

Since we have been delivered from our misery by grace alone through Christ, without any merit of our own, why must we yet do good works?

Because Christ, having redeemed us by his blood, also renews us by his Holy Spirit to be his image, so that with our whole life we may show ourselves thankful to God for his benefits, and he may be praised by us.

Further, that we ourselves may be assured of our faith by its fruits, and that by our godly walk of life we may win our neighbours for Christ.

Tanong 86.

Dahil tayo nga ay iniligtas na sa ating kapighatian sa tulong ng biyaya lamang sa pamamagitan ni Cristo, at hindi ayon sa anumang ginawa natin, bakit kinakailangan pa rin nating gumawa ng mga mabubuting gawa?

Sapagkat si Cristo, matapos Niya tayong tubusin sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang dugo ay binabago rin tayo sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang Banal na Espiritu upang maging kawangis Niya, nang sa gayon sa pamamagitan ng ating buong buhay ay maipakita natin na tayo nga ay nagpapasalamat sa Diyos para sa lahat ng Kanyang biyaya, at nang Siya ay purihin natin.

Higit pa rito, na tayo mismo ay makatiyak sa ating pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng mga bunga nito, at nang sa pamamagitan ng ating maka-Diyos na pamumuhay ay maakit natin ang ating kapwa kay Cristo.

Why must the redeemed still do good works?

1. Response to redemption

2. Renewing work of the Spirit

3. The glory of God

1 Cor 6:19-20

4. Assurance of faith

5. Witness to unbelievers

Question 87.

Can those be saved who do not turn to God from their ungrateful and impenitent walk of life?

By no means.

Scripture says that no unchaste person, idolater, adulterer, thief, greedy person, drunkard, slanderer, robber, or the like shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Tanong 87.

Maliligtas ba yung mga taong hindi nagbabalik-loob sa Diyos mula sa kanilang pamumuhay na walang pagkilala sa Diyos at walang pagsisisi?

Hindi maari sa anumang paraan.

Sinasabi ng Kasulatan na walang malaswang tao, sumasamba sa diyos-diyosan, mangangalunya, sakim, lasenggo, maninirang-puri, magnanakaw o sinumang gaya ng mga ito ang magmamana ng kaharian ng Diyos.
