2. What does it mean to be steward of God’s Mercy and Love?Unsa man ang buot pasabot sa pagkapiniyalan (Steward) sa

Kalooy ug Gugma sa Diyos?

• Hebrew 4:14;16 “Therefore, since we have a great high priest Jesus

Christ, the son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.” “So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help”

Ana-a kitay responsibilidad sa pagkapiniyalan sa Grasya sa kalooy ug gugma sa Diyos pinaagi kang HesuKristo nga mamahimo kita nga instrumento sa iyang gugma ug kalooy ngadto sa uban tawo.

• Pope Francis said, “You do not pay for salvation!”. “You do not buy salvation. The door is Jesus, and Jesus is free!”

• “The door indicates Jesus himself who said: ‘I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture,’” said the pope.

• “Going through the holy door is the sign of our trust in the Lord Jesus who did not come to judge, but to save.”

Pope Francis said,

“But how can you ask God to forgive us, if we are not capable of forgiveness/forgiving?”
