“For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him” (Philippians 1:29). As I was looking for bible verse to help write this paper this verse came up and it goes with the whole paper. This one verse just how much we need to sacrifice for Jesus because he did for us but this message says that we not only to believe in him but we also need to suffer for him. In this paper I will be talking about God and his work, Humanity- are strengths and weakness, Jesus- who he is, Restoration- what our role and Jesus role was, Analysis- my belief in Christian faith and Reflection- what do I believe.
God
The bible speaks on God as “God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirt” but is underlined as One God. “God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26) God is said to be a triune or trinity God. The bible also reveals that God is three persons with the same amount of deity. God created the whole word and he created Adam from the ground and he

I believe that is why it is so hard for me to live the way God wants me to because I have never seen him so how do I know he is real. He answer my payers must of the time but he keeps taking my loves ones to come back with him and leaving me here on earth without them. I know Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that God sent him down to show us the way we are supposed to be living. I love God and I would never deny him in front of anyone not even the devil and I would never worship the devil. I just believe that if I change my ways and start living by the bible that I will miss out on friends or maybe even my

    For Christians and the church the Holy Spirit lives inside the Christian and guides the actions of those who desire His presence. The Spirit empowers the believer to step outside his comfort zone to do extraordinary acts of faith for God. Being filled with the Spirit involves transforming their minds to the mind of Christ as we engage in spiritual activities. Walking in the Spirit leads to a sense of peace and joy. Violating their conscience through acts of disobedience leads to a loss of filling by the Holy Spirit, which takes away their joy and peace. Although God will not take the Holy Spirit away from a disciple of Jesus Christ, the continual practice of sin and a lack of spiritual activities will lead to a life that is no different than the life of a…

    The Sermon in the Mount delivered by Jesus defines the important values of Religion. As the founder of Christian religion, Jesus, in his sermon, presented the evidences of ethics behavior of Christians, which are forgiveness, humility, Justice, love and perseverance. Agreeing to Jesus’ sermon, forgiveness must characterize Christians. In fact, Christian must forgive at the level of accepting a recidivist behavior. According to Jesus “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”. In addition humility is a requirement of Christians. Christians prove their humility by asking forgiveness even if they did not offense someone. As Jesus declared, if “your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front…

    Part One of Elmer Towns’ Concise Bible Doctrines introduces Christian theology by outlining the key pieces of the doctrine to help the reader understand Christianity and faith. Towns begins by saying that the main purpose of Bible doctrine is to communicate the gospel to the people at a point of need. Every man has the same need because every man is cut off from God. Man is born with a sin nature, and because he is less than holy, he is isolated and alienated from God. Death is imminent for everyone, but God communicates through the Bible that through Jesus Christ, man can be saved. The word “gospel” means “good news.” It is the responsibility of every Christian to reach out in relationships to the unsaved in sharing this news, and to other Christians in fellowship. Christians are called to seek God, and study the Bible to learn to know Him better, and worship Him always. Proper worship of God requires faith; the source of which is the Bible. Doctrinal faith is the beginning and the test of Christianity. If our statement of faith is wrong, than our faith is misplaced. Our faith must be grounded on correct knowledge of God. However, intellectual knowledge of God is not enough. Emotional expression and volition are equally important. The Holy Spirit acts on behalf of Jesus Christ to plant faith in a Christian’s heart. He indwells us, and helps us exercise our faith daily. We can grow in our faith by studying God’s word, seeking the Lord, confessing sin, actively following biblical principles, and constantly communicating with God. Faith is ultimately a reliance and trust of God, and the Bible teaches us to rely on Him for everything.…

    Perhaps a most natural starting point is to realize that the rise of the social gospel within the Roman Catholic Church occurred within the larger context of the economic situation in America during the late nineteenth century. Laissez-faire economics, which advocates economic freedom for the business class, ruled the day. Also, the Panic of 1873, which saw unprecedented unemployment among the lower classes and created bread lines in the urban areas greatly affected the national consciousness. During this time, labor unions and various trade organizations grew and developed. Child labor, women laborers, and the length of the working day were hotly disputed during this time as well.…

    St. John's Gospel Analysis

    • 1218 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The most helpful resource that I found whilst translating the first eighteen verses of St. John’s Gospel was also the most detrimental. At some moments, comparing my own translation to others could lead to a better understanding of the overall passage, but it could also become more muddled if the other translator and I had different ideas as to what the original text meant. There were, of course, other times where both the other translations and mine came to the same idea, but worded it differently, which is simply aesthetic. In its totality, St. John’s Gospel was a challenge to translate, through comparing, searching for vocabulary, and tying everything together in a way that didn’t sound like a child wrote it, I was given a deeper understanding…

    Paul discussed how, without Christ our identity is found in our sinful ways. However, there is absolute hope and truth that by His grace, Christ died for our sins and offered a way for us to be able to spend eternity with Him. For this reason, God sees Jesus when He looks at His redeemed children. Romans 7:7-13…

    The Gospel of John, written by John the Apostle, is unlike from the other three Gospels and covers copious theological contented in respect to the being of Christ and the significance of faith. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are frequently mentioned to as the "Synoptic Gospels" for the objective that of their identical periods and comfortable, and meant at they suggestion a plan of the period of Christ. The Gospel of John twitches not thru Jesus' birth or worldly ministry but then through the action and features of the Son of God previously His becoming man (John 1:14). The Gospel of John highlights the divinity of Christ as is understood in his usage of such expressions as "the Word was God" (John 1:1), "the Savior of the World" (4:42), the "Son…

    Gospel Of Mark Analysis

    • 8 Pages

    The Gospel of Mark is the oldest known surviving account of the ministry of Jesus Christ that exists today. Written approximately in the year 65 CE in Rome by an unknown writer, people have attributed the name Mark to the author, although this may not have been his actual name (I will use the name Mark to refer to the author of the gospel of Mark). As the oldest record of Christ’s ministry, it is believed that through other pieces or fragments of Jesus’ teachings and sayings, as well as stories passed down from generation to generation, Mark was able to generate his Gospel– although, the physical written documents that Mark may have used are thought to be lost, or no longer exist.…

    1. The Bible clearly speaks of God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. But emphasizes that there is only ONE God. The Trinity is a way of acknowledging what the Bible reveals to us about God is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. That God is three "Persons" but all exist within one essence. In other religions we also see one Supreme Being, being created into other gods/goddess and given certain strengths or is the reason for a creation. Within Christianity all powers or strengths and creation comes from one source; God, because of this I believe that Christianity is still considered a monotheistic religion.…

    The Gospel of Christian is alleged in our traditions in many customs. Most people have the perception that if you are a Christian you feel you are holier than a non-believer. What they do not understand is that, when anyone makes the choice to become a Christian, they make life-long changes in their lives. On several occasions, friends and sometimes family become offended with the choices you make in becoming a Christian. In my life, my wife and I made the decision to become a Christians, we changed everything in our life, including the way we think.…

    A Higher Power?

    • 1697 Words
    • 7 Pages

    God, a higher power, is defined as a “Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe” or the Almighty Lord, however, there is no clear description of how he or she looks like but in the bible, Genesis 1:24 we see that God said he will make “human beings; they will be like us and resemble us…[and so] God created human beings making them to be like himself”. [2] From these two statements, we realize that God is very similar to how we look like. However, I believe that it is so to allow anyone reading the bible, or having the belief in Christianity to feel that they are able to relate and have some form of connection with God. In Exodus 3:14 he told Moses “I am who I am. You must tell them: The one who is called I AM.” [2] “I AM” is undefined and the mystery remains as to who is this higher power, but “I AM” being written in capital letters, it definitely shows authority. “I AM” is also used as a first-person point of view, which also emphasizes or helps one relate to God so that one does not feel isolated. Other than these statements, we see that the pronoun used throughout the bible is ‘he’; therefore, we tend to think that God is a masculine figure, a Father. To a certain extent, many may argue that it is…

    Throughout the Bible, Jesus makes it clear that we are to be Christ-like and our attitudes should be the same as his. Jesus freely put his rights aside, in order to become a human, to serve the needs of mankind. Which made him submissive to death. However, while he was on the cross, Jesus Christ’s humility is exemplified because he bore an agonizing death that consisted of humiliation, in order to provide our requirements.…
