The God Test in Filipino

      Sharing the Gospel to the older generation has been so close to my heart. I lost Inang ( my great grandmother) last year and what kept my heart from being  shattered is the opportunity to share the Gospel to her while she's still alive.  The Gospel is the power of God to save and  I believe and I know that I'll see, hug and call out "INANGGGG" again in heaven.

 Speaking of grandmothers, I visited my friend's house last weekend and met her grandmother. When I'm about to go home, it broke my heart when she said, "Balik ka ulit dito hah? Sa burol ko." In my mind,  I'm screaming "Please no, Lola!!! Hear and believe the Gospel first!!!" 

       
        So, gusto mo rin ibahagi ang mabuting balita (good news / gospel)  sa Lola , Lolo,  Nanay, Tatay, Tita, Tito o sa mga malayo mong kamag-anak gamit ang mga tanong sa "The God Test" ni Ptr. Rice Brooks? Kaya lang medyo challenging I- communicate kay Lola ang mga English na questions di ba?  Ewan. Ako lang ba ang nahihirapan?  Haha. Anyway, I just want to share the questions I asked Nanay Lydia (my Lola and Inang's daughter)  when I shared the Gospel to her some months ago using Side B of The God Test. This might make you laugh or raise your eyebrow, but more than that,  I hope this will  help and inspire you to reach out to the generation ahead of us.

Sample spiel to start (of course it depends on your relationship with them):

"Lola, may mga tanong lang po ako tungkol po sa pananampalataya nyo, ok lang po ba? "

1. Do you believe in God?  

    Naniniwala po ba kayo sa Diyos? 

2.  How would you describe God? 

   Maaari mo bang ilarawan ang Diyos? 

3. What does God expect of us? 

   Ano po ang inaasahan sa atin ng Diyos? 

4. How are you meeting those expectations? Scale 1 -10

(Sobrang hirap nito, promise! Hahahaha)

 Sa one to ten po, gaano nyo po naisasabuhay ang mga ito? One po..hindi nyo talaga naisasabuhay , Ten po..naisasabuhay nyo po talaga...

(Give me an alternative way! Hahaha! HKRB! Miraculously, naintindihan naman ni Lola, haha) 

5. Do you believe in Heaven? 

     Naniniwala ka po ba na mayroong Langit? 

6. Does everyone go? 

     Lahat po ba ng tao ay makakapunta sa langit?

7. Do you believe you will go to heaven? 

Naniniwala ka po ba na makakapunta ka sa langit? 

8.  Why or why not? 

Bakit po? Bakit po hindi? 

9. Would you like to know what the Bible says about these questions? 

Gusto nyo po ba malaman ang mga sagot sa mga tanong na ito ayon sa Bibliya? 

(I'm so excited for this moment!!! Go go go!!! Share the Gospel!!!!) 

10. Are you willing to follow Jesus and trust Him with your life? 

Gusto nyo po bang tanggapin si  Hesus bilang  Panginoon at  Tagapagligtas  at ipagkatiwala ang inyong buhay sa Kanya?

(Then lead her in a prayer and pray for her!)

Yes! Congratulations! You just shared the greatest love story sa iyong pinakamamahal  na Lola , Lolo,  Nanay, Tatay, Tita, Tito!!! I'm rejoicing with you! I pray that they'll be discipled as well. 

This is not official and  not even professional translation (obviously). I'm not sure din if may Filipino version na sa The God Test App. If meron na, then cool, right? But then if you have a better translation  or ideas please do PM me on Facebook, comment below or just do it your way. :)

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--the Jew first and also the Gentile. Romans 1:16 NLT

Go. Kaya mo yan. Kaya natin to. Be courageous!! Family Salvation di ba? :" )
