The Wonderful New Life is in you
By Pastor Alberto J. Rendon
You are maybe wondering about New Life. I will
have to explain here and I hope that you can
understand the Biblical New Life which is the
most important thing here on earth. The Bible
says;
Acts 5:20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,"
he said, "and tell the people the full message
of this new life."
The Bible declares that there is a New Life that we
must tell the people the full message of it. This
means that this New Life is very important,
because we are commanded to let the people know
what it is.
Many people do not understand the Biblical New
Life and if you are one of them, please take time to
read this article and I pray that you will be
enlightened.
I will begin with these questions: What is Biblical
New Life means, who has it, who gives it and how
to have it? These are the questions that we must
find the answers. Ignorance to the answers of these
questions would make you wonder the real
meaning of life.
Life is meaningful. It is a wonderful thing we had; unless you
understand the real meaning of life you will not enjoy the reality of it
and your life would be meaningless.
This New Life is so very important to God. This is the life that God
desires that all people should have. This life is so very precious that
it is paid by the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. What is this New
Life? Some believe it is a new religion, some believe it is a life being
changed from bad habits into good habits, some believe that it is a
life saved from accidents and sickness and others believe that it is a
life that has been fulfilled the New Year’s resolution.
Notice: None of the above answers and beliefs is correct. You may
have a nice religion but do not have this New Life. You may have
changed your bad habits into good habits and still you do not have
this New Life. You maybe are saved from death, sickness and
accident but you still do not have this New Life. And you may have
fulfilled the New Year’s resolution in a long period of time and you
still do not have this New Life.
What is this New Life? New Life is called in the Bible “Eternal
Life.” In John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life.”(NIV)
The Bible says, whoever believes on the Son of God shall not perish
but have eternal life. Take note. Eternal life is not our human life;
eternal life is not long life but life without end. This is the New Life
in the Bible.
Who has this new life? The answer is, those already have the
temporal life; a man of sin who is still alive. A living man has this
life the human life a temporal life. In order for a man who already
has the temporal life to receive the Eternal life he must believe on
Him (Jesus Christ.) In other words, if a man who already believed on
the only begotten Son of God has already received eternal life. 1
John 5:12-13 supports it, you can read it below.
If a man already has received the eternal life, it means he has another
life in him that is eternal and this is the New Life. That is what New
Life means in the Bible.
New Life is also called in the Bible “Spiritual Life.”
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit...“ John 3:6

The old life is born of the flesh, which is the human life the old “But as many as received him, to them gave he

the bible says. It is clear that the life that is born in the flesh is not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of

spirit is spirit which it means Spiritual life and that is the New
Life. In order that a life should be in existence, it must be

same way the Spiritual Life/New Life is being born in the Spirit, in
other words a life that is new.
Many people believe that this New Life is received after the death
of the old life – physical death, which means New Life or Eternal
Life is received after we die. That is why many people pray for the
dead that say “Lord give Him (the dead) eternal life.”
Of whom the Bible says about who has this New Life?
In 1 John 5:12-13 it says. “He that hath the Son hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These
things have I written unto you that believe on the name of
the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

According to what is written in the Bible, “…He that has the son
has Life.” What is this life? Simple; it is not the human life the old
life but it is the New Life. It is because many people who do not
have the son but still they have the life the old life. So the life here
indicates the New Life that is given to those who has the Son.
In verse 13, it says, “...These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life “
Who already have this eternal life? The correct answer is those
who believe on the name of the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are they still alive physically? Of course! It was not written to the
dead but to the people who are still alive? If we say to the dead
it makes no sense. The dead cannot read a letter of John. John
wrote this letter to those physically alive and the same time
spiritually alive “… that they may know that they have eternal life.”
In 1 John 5:11 “And this is the testimony: God has given us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”
It is God who gave the New Life or eternal life through our Lord
Jesus Christ and it is already given (past tense) to those who has
the Son.
Again in verse 13, it says, “These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life.”
The New Life is the one which is born of God in
you. The old life is the one which is born of the
human will, which is our human or temporal life.
To become a child of God it is necessary to believe
on the name of the Son of God the Lord Jesus
Christ. When you believed, God will give you the
power to be born in the spirit and when you are
being born in the spirit you now become a child of
God.
Do you believe on the name of Jesus Christ?
Did you receive him as the only way to have
this New Life? Well, if so, you have this New
Life in you. The God kind of life which is eternal or
spiritual life, it is the gift of God.
Romans 6:23; ”For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.”
If you are not sure that Jesus Christ is God’s way or
your source of Eternal Life or New Life and or your
personal savior and Lord, you can pray with this
prayer guide, and please do it prayerfully.

New Life or Eternal Life and is also called Spiritual Life is already Father God Almighty. I come to you in the name of

New Life Christian Church is blessed by the Lord in many ways. We

always give God the glory and honor. It is by His grace that we are
blessed. Praise to His glorious name!
As body of Christ as the church every true believer of the Gospel of
Christ is a part of this work of God. We will go on for the mission of
preaching the Gospel to let the people the message of Life.
1 Pet. 3: 9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. “
Out commitment must be to the Great Commandment and the Great
Commission of our Great GOD. We are committed to serve God, for
the Church and for the people because we are determine to glorify
God in our lives.
Our Father has given us the spirit of power, love and sound
of mind. His peace is in us, His grace is always sufficient, we
have a sure hope that does not disappoint us, because God
has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom he has given us. Therefore, we can say He turned my
mourning into dancing and our sorrows into joy.
We are reminded by the word of God, that we must be
always joyful even in the midst of trials, fiery trials because
He is with us, although we walk in the valley of the shadow
of death, no fear of evil for He is with us. What a wonderful
promise of God.

It is our pleasure to know of the brethren who continually support the
ministry of the Lord that we are doing. I believe the Lord will reward
those who diligently seek his will.
We see our labor in the Lord is not vain. How happy we are to see the
fruits of our labor. As the brethren, the adults, youth and children are
praising God, we can remember that our labor in the past is not in
vain.
Just walk in the direction of God for it leads to life, make his
word as a lamp to your feet and a light your path. You will
never be disappointed under God’s leading; he will not put
you to same for His name sake that is why you are more
than victorious in Christ Jesus. Shout Hallelujah and praise
the Lord! Blessings.

Your faithfulness remains as legacy to your children and even to your

children of your children’s children. Faithfulness is not hard when we

ANG KALUWASAN
By Pastor Alberto Rendon
Ano Bala Ang Kaluwasan?
Madamo nga mga tawo nga nakahibalo nahanungod sang
Kaluwasan pero wala makaintendi kon ano gid bala ang
kaluwasan. Sa sini nga balasahon makatuon kita kag
makaintendi nahanungod sang Kaluwasan.
Ano bala ang Kaluwasan? Ang Kaluwasan amo ang
kagawasan kigan sa mga katalagman o kon silot. Ang
pagluwas amo ang pagpahigawas gikan sa katalagman.
Kung kaisa, ang Bibliya nagagamit sa pulong nga
kaluwasan nga natuon sa temporaryo kag lawasnon nga
kagawasan, kaangay sa kagawasan nga ginahandum ni
Apostol Pablo nga makagawas siya sa prisohan (Pilipos
1:19).
Kalabanan sa Bibliya, ang pulong nga kaluwasan natuon
sa Espirituhanon kag walay katapusan nga kagawasan
gikan sang silot sang sala. Si Apostol nga Pablo
naghisgot nahanungod sang kaluwasan sa Epeso kapitulo
dos (Eph. 2), ini natuon sa spirituhanon nga kaluwasan.
Ini nga Kaluwasan amo ang espirituhanon nga walay
katapusan nga kagawasan gikan sa silot sang sala, ini
mabaton pinaagi lamang sa pagtuo sa ginhimo ni Hesu
Kristo sa pagluwas sa mga tawo gikan sa katalagman nga
silot sa Dios tungod sang sala.
Roma 5:1 “Karon kay ginpakamatarong na
kita pinaagi sa pagtuo, may paghidait na kita sa
Dios paagi kay Hesu Kristo nga aton ginoo.”
Roma 5:9 “Paagi sa iya pagkamatay,
ginpakamatarong kita sa atubangan sang Dios.
Gani, daw ano pa gid ang pagluwas niya sa aton
sa kaakig sang Dios.”
Kon aton intendihon sing maayo, pinaagi sa pagtuo nga si
Hesu Kristo namatay sa krus para sa aton, ginmatarong
kita sa atubangan sang Dios kag naluwas kita gikan sa
silot tungod sang sala. Ang Roma 8:1, “Indi na kita
pagasilotan….”
Ang Biblikal o espirituhanon nga kaluwasan, amo ang
pagkagawasnon gikan sa silot sang sala. Sino bala ang
nagluwas sa aton gikan sa silot sang sala? Ang Dios
mismo ang nagluwas sa aton paagi kay Hesu Kristo
tungod sang iya grasya, indi tungod sang aton mga
maayong binuhatan (2 Timoteo 1:9).
Paano bala mabaton ang kaluwasan. Pinaagi bala sa
paghimo ta sing mga maayong buhat o pinaagi sa
pagtuman sa mga kasoguan sang Dios o ayhan sa pag
pamembro sa isa ka grupo sang relihiyon? Ang
kaluwasan naaguman lamang sa pagtuo kag indi pinaagi
sa binuhatan (Epeso 2:8-9).
Ano ang ginsiling sa Bibliya kon ano gid bala ang
kaluwasan? Epeso 2:8 “… ini bugay sang Dios.” Ang
The HERALD Page 4
bugay, wala sing bayad libre o kon regalo sang Dios. Kon ini
hatag nga regalo, wala kita sing himuon agod nga ibayad sa
ragalo nga kaluwasan kondi batunon ini tungod kay nagatuo
kita nga ini ginhatag sa aton.
Kon nagatuo kita nga ang kaluwasan mabaton lamang
pinaagi sa pagtuo sa Dios kag sa paghimo sing mga
maayong buhat, hindi na mahimong bugay ang kaluwasan
kondi isa na ini ka suhol o kon bayad sa aton pagtuman o sa
mga maayo naton nga mga buhat.
Busa, indi ang pagtuo kag mga maayong buhat amo ang
pamaagi sang Dios agod mabaton naton ang kaluwasan.
Kay kon amo ina, pila gid ka mga maayong buhat ang aton
pagahimuon agod kita maluwas? Wala gid sing sukdanan
para sa mga maayong buhat nga makita sa Bibliya agod
amo ang aton pagagamiton para sukdon ang aton mga
buhat agod mabaton ta ang kaluwasan. Kay kon magsiling
kita nga may ara napulo o kon pito ka mga butang aton
pagahimuon agod mabaton naton ang kaluwasan,
kinahanglan gid nga makumplito naton ang napulo o kon pito
kay kong kulang bisan isa indi pa naton gihapon mabaton
ang kaluwasan kag mangin sayang lamang ang siyam o kon
anum nga aton nahimo, indi bala?
Ano bala ang buot silingon Pagtuo agod maluwas? Damo
nga mga tawo nga indi nakaintindi nahanungod sa pagtuo
nga makaluwas. Ang iban nagasabat sa sini nga pamangkot
nga ‘Pagtuo sa Dios’ ang iban ‘pagtuo nga may ara Dios’
kag ang iban na man nagasiling ‘pagtuo kay Hesu Kristo nga
Dios nga nagpakatawo.’ Ano bala ang Pagtuo nga
makaluwas? Sa Hebrohanon nga pagkahambal ang Pagtuo
nga pulong amo ang “PISTIS” sa English “RELIANCE” o kon
sa aton pa ‘PAGSALIG’ indi nga pagpati. Ang madamo nga
mga sabat sa sina nga pamangkot indi pagsalig nga pagtuo
kondi pagpati lamang nga pagtuo kag ina indi gid
makaluwas, bisan pa gani ang Yawa nagapati man nga may
ara Dios kag halos tanan nga mga tawo nagapati man nga
may ara Dios, buot ba silingon nga luwas sila tungod kay
may ara man sila pagtuo o kon pagpati?
Ang pagtuo nga makaluwas amo ini. Nagasalig ka kay Hesu
Kristo nga ikaw ginluwas niya didto sa Krus sang kalbaryo, o
kon sa kinakakasing ikaw nagatuo nga siya namatay,
ginlubong kag nabanhaw gikan sa patay (Roma 10:9). Sa
lain nga pulong, ginbutang mo ang imo pagsalig sa kay
ginoong Hesu Kristo para sa imo nga kaluwasan. Ang
Bibliya nagasiling nga ikaw ara na gid sa kamot sa Dios kag
wala kana sing pagahimuon pa agod mangin ara ka sa iya
kamot bangud kay ara kana gid sa iya nga kamot (Juan
10:28-29).
Sa sunod ipadayon naton ini nga pagtuon. Magahisgut kita sa
duha pa ka kaluwasan:
1. Kaluwasan gikan sa SILOT sang sala.√
2. Kaluwasan gikan sa GAHUM sang sala.
3. Kaluwasan gikan sa PRESENSIYA sang sala.

that is good but it is not the basis of our salvation. Next Page
 Issue 1, Volume 01 The HERALD
The question is, HOW MANY WORKS SHOULD WE DO TO
RECEIVE SALVATION? No one can point out and take Bible
verses to give a number of works we should do in order to be
saved. If we say ten good works or seven that means after we
have faith we have to complete all of them in order to get saved,
and then if we have completed the nine or six and we die, still
we are not saved. Some say it is two, faith and baptism. It is also
the same, that before someone is baptized then he died still he is
not saved.
There is no number of rules to follow in the New Testament to
produce good works in order to get saved but only faith, genuine
faith. If there is a number of a rule to do to get saved, no one can
be saved. Because James also said that if we commit one of the
other rules we broke all.
James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and
yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking
all of it.”
If God basis our salvation by faith and good works it would
means that salvation has different levels. Those who did many
good works will receive the best
salvation and those who only did “For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard
few, not good salvation. That is you, and in the day of salvation I helped
you." I tell you, now is the time of God's
why salvation is received by
genuine faith alone because of the favor, now is the day of salvation.”
grace of God. 1 Corinthians 6:2 NIV
I believe genuine faith is not alone,
to the extent it produces good works, but salvation does not
depend on the good works but on the faith alone. I put it on this
way, Faith plus Salvation equals Good works not Faith plus
Good works equals Salvation. There are problems if salvation
is the result of faith plus good works as we have seen above and
there is one more.
We believe salvation is a free gift from God, totally free, and
this cannot be paid and no one can pay salvation. If salvation is
the result of Faith plus Good works, salvation cannot be
considered free gift, but a reward earned by faith and good
works.
Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:9 of The Living Bible Translation is
more clearer; it says, “Salvation is not a reward for the good
we have done, so none of us can take any credit for it.”
James was not saying, produce works of your faith so you will
be saved, but simply “Show me your faith without deeds, and I
will show you my faith by what I do...” He pointed out who has
the genuine faith that is proven by works. Nowhere in the Bible
found a command to work for our salvation. Are we told to work
out our own salvation?
Phil. 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have
always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but
now much more in my absence, work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling.”
Here we see that many people mistranslated this verse. They add
for to your own salvation. Nowhere found here to work out for
your salvation but work out your own salvation or work out
your salvation. To better understand what it means in this verse.
Page 6
We have already received salvation, but we are to work out or
continue to show the proofs of good works. Logically, you
cannot work out of a thing you do not have or else we have to
say work out FOR IT. Paul did not say work out FOR YOUR
OWN SALVATION but work out your own salvation.
Salvation Is Already Given And Can Be Received
By Faith
The problem is many people do not understand about salvation
in general. They think that salvation is earned by good works
because we will receive salvation after we die, not now. The
truth is salvation is received at the point of faith in the finished
work of Jesus Christ.
What Salvation we received at the point of genuine Faith? The
Bible is very clear that salvation is at the point of faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man
should boast.”KJV
The Bible says for by grace are ye
saved through faith, this means God
saved us by His grace, He did it
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul
was writing to the believers in the
church at Ephesus that they are already saved, PAST TENSE,
they had already received salvation. What salvation they
received? Let us look at the person who is not a believer of
Christ. In opposite, they have not received salvation, they are
still in the bondage of sin and they are under the wrath of God.
John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
him.” KJV
The unbeliever or the one who do not believe the Son (Jesus
Christ) two things are in his life; shall not see life (eternal life)
and the wrath of God abides on him. In other words he is not
saved from the wrath of God or the penalty of sin. The opposite
is the believer is SAVED from the wrath of God. Therefore,
Apostle Paul said “For by grace are ye SAVED through
faith… not of yourselves …not of works, lest any man should
boast.”
What salvation we received? Salvation from the wrath of God,
we are saved because we believed. Saved from what? From the
wrath of God.
Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Here we see that we are saved (Past Tense) from the PENALTY
OF SIN. Another Salvation we are going take is we are saved
(Past Tense / Present Tense) from THE POWER OF SIN and the
next is to be saved (Future Tense) from the PRESENCE OF
SIN.

Brief History
New Life Christian Church was fully independent and
none-denominational ministries since 2003. We
started with the church members and have been
blessed and are going to be blessed because we
serve our God who cares.
God is blessing the church, ministries and activities
hosted by Pastor Alberto & Isabel Rendon with their
kids. The Lord has been faithful in providing our
needs. We are doing the work of the Lord for His
glory.
We are increasing in number and we continue to
believe for more increase and more blessings of God
as we are committed to do the work of the Lord
entrusted to us. We believe blessings will follow on
our faithfulness and prosperity after responsibility.
We have encountered many hardships and trials but
we see the hands of God on us giving the strength to
go on.
We are now still in the process of registering the
ministry in the Security and Exchange Commission
Philippines. We attempted many times to register but
it was not yet permitted by the Lord for maybe He
has good reasons.
New Life Christian Church is located in Purok
Tagumpay, San Isidro, Sto. Niño, South Cotabato,
but we can receive letters addressed to Poblacion,
Sto. Niño South Cotabato.

JESUS CHRIST built His church. The Church is the
believers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wherever the
Gospel is preached and is accepted, believed and
followed by the people they are called Church like
the churches in the Bible.
JESUS’ will for His church is to grow. The Foundation
of New Life Christian Church is in the Great
Commandment and the Great Commission.
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 22:37-40
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.” Matthew 28:19-20
Rick Warren said, “A Great Commitment to the
Great Commandment and the Great Commission
will grow a Great Church!”
Five Purposes of the Church based on these:
1. Worship – Love the Lord with all your heart.
2. Ministry – Love your neighbor as yourself.
3. Evangelism – Go.
4. Fellowship – Baptizing them.
5. Discipleship – Teaching them to obey.
