Sermon Tone Analysis

Yaskaaran timiharu priya baalak-haru-jhai Parameswarkaa dekhaasiko garne-haru ho-o.

Paul tells us to follow God

This is the most important message of any preacher

Lift up the name of Christ

Point people to Jesus

Not ourselves

Not our work

Follow God

But Paul gives us an illustration

This illustration is to help us understand how to follow God

“As dear children”

This illustration of the family of God is use throughout the Bible

But to learn from an illustration,

We need to think about the meaning

And the application

3 ways to follow God as dear children:

How do we follow as dear children?

1. Be born into God’s family

3 Jeshule jabaaph diera unlaai bhannu-bhayo: “Saa’cho-saa’cho ma timilaai bhandachhu, kohi maanis nayaa’ gari janmena bhane usle Parameswarko raajyalaai dekhna sakdaina.”

4 Nikodemasle uhaa’laai bhane: “Maanis buDo bhaepachi kasari janmana sakchha ra? Ke u aphno aamaako garbhamaa dosro-choTi pasera hanmana sakchha ra?” 5 Yeshule jabaaph dinubhayo: “Saa’cho-saa’cho ma timilaai bhandachhu, kohi maanis paani ra aatmaa-baaTa janmena bhane u Parameswarko raajya-bhitra pasna sakdaina.

6 Sarira-baaTa janmieko chaahi’ sharira ho, ani aatmaa-baaTa janmieko chaahi’ aatmaa ho.

7 Timiharule nayaa’ gari janmanai-parchha bhani maile timilaai bhaneko-maa timi achamma namaan.

How can you follow God as a dear child when you are not his child

Ye must be born again(Timiharule nayaa’ gari janmanai-parchha)

Born of the spirit

Born into the family of God

You need to receive salvation!

Do you want to follow God?

The first step is always salvation

Not good works

Not coming to church

Not dressing nicely

Not baptism

Ye must be born again!(Timiharule nayaa’ gari janmanai-parchha)

Put your faith in Jesus Christ alone

He will give you the free gift of salvation

He will make you his child

Kinaki KhrishT Yeshu-maathi raakhieko biswaas-duaara timi-haru sabai Parameswarkaa santaan haau.

Tara jasle uhaa’laai grahan gare, tini-haru-laai uhaa’le Parameswarkaa santaan hune adhikaar dinubhayo; Arthaat tini-haru-laai, jasle uhaa’ko naam-maa biswaas gardachhan,

To follow God as a dear child, we must first be born into His family

2. Grow in God’s Word

Ra nayaa’ janmekaa baalak-haru-jhai bachanko bishuddha dudh-ko tirsanaa gara, ra yas-duaaraa timi-haru baddai jaao;

If we want to follow God as dear children,

We need to drink the milk of the word

We need to grow(badnu)

Without milk the small babies do not grow

When a small baby has trouble drinking milk

It is a serious problem!

This can cause other problems

The Baby can even die!

I say it often

Read your Bible!

Read your Bible!

Why?

Because without reading and learning God’s Word

You will not grow!

You cannot follow God if you do not learn about Him

When you don’t read your Bible

You will remain in sin

You will remain in darkness

You will remain in ignorance(agyaanataa)

You will not grow

You cannot follow God!

Trust the Lord - be born again

Read your Bible!

Grow in God’s Word!

3. Obey God’s commands

Parameswarkaa santaan ra saitaankaa santaan yasai-baaTa prakaT hunchhan; Harek jasle dharmikataako kaam gardaina, tyo Parameswar-baaTako hoina, ra tyo pani hoina, jasle aaphno bhaailaai prem gardaina.

Our works do not give us salvation

But they do show our salvation

They show our father

If I walk through the store, but walk away from my family

Stand 2 meters away

Ignore every command of my father

Do my own thing

People will not think I am in that family

When we sin, we do the works of the Satan

The father of unbelievers

The father of unbelief

When we do righteousness, we follow God our father

When we do righteousness, we follow God our father

Which father are you following?

When my son disobeys, he is not following as a dear child

When he obeys, he is!

Obey God!

Follow as a dear child:

Trust God

Learn His Law

Obey His Law
