“Good People” In a way we’re all the same. We believe in one God, just the name has changed. A God who puts love, faith and humanity in our hands. To govern these elements in the right way can put doubt and trouble into your life, and how do we even govern them? And if we do govern them and it’s wrong, how do we correct?
The beatitudes teach us basic life skills about how we should act towards one another, encouraging us to treat others with respect, compassion, generosity and justice. If we succeed and live the way Jesus showed us to, which is by showing the values of the beatitudes, we will be rewarded in heaven and will live for eternity with God. The statement, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” basically means standing up for what you believe in, what you know is right and facing the consequences with the choices you decide to take forward. It is about fighting for what is good and what is going to make this world better. If we are able to do this, God will take note of our faithfulness by rewarding us with eternal life with him in heaven.
Flaws Within the Flawless As an inherently flawed element, human nature will continuously battle with right and wrong, and failure will persist without guidance. Dostoevski highlights this conclusion in his work The Grand Inquisitor. According to the Grand Inquisitor, the most important aspects of our human nature are the inability to handle freedom and a yearning for a miraculous being. In his approach to governing these aspects, the argument he defends that Christ’s rejection of the temptations has permanently hindered human nature may appear true. However, the Grand Inquisitor’s rejection that the nature of man has potential to change when we accept Christ as our savior highlights the weak link in his argument.
detraction will not suffer it. Therefore I’ll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so ends my catechism.
Yes, that is the environment they are raised in, but that does not mean that their children are going to turn out as failures. God didn’t make each and every one of us perfect, so we will make mistakes every once in a while. Hopefully, the children know that even though their childhood was a certain way, theirs doesn’t have to be that way. One of the preeminent values of the Christian community is that marriage should last a lifetime. As Jesus said, "what God has joined together, let not man separate" Mathew 19:6.
True Christianity, is what most of the followers of Jesus Christ want to experience on daily basis. Some say that true Christianity must be achieved by hard work, good deeds, control of body and mind; not faith alone, but good works are needed for God’s justification. Wesley in turn will say, "Why, what signifies the form of godliness?" we readily answer, Nothing, if it be alone. But the absence of the form signifies much.
Through practicing situation ethics, you show pragmatism, the Christian goal is love, and you must try and achieve love no matter what. The second of the four working principles is relativism, you don’t have to do it perfectly- but as long as you try, and it is still to the benefit of others, you’ve succeeded, through doing this, you may have to break some rules, or go
He said that the disciples (and every believer of Christ) should always strive to do good works since they are the light of the world and others would glorify God in heaven. Jesus advised his followers to be righteous at all times and teach same to others, never to kill, commit adultery and never to revenge others but should leave vengeance for him. He also admonished that his followers should always love others, even their enemies. The disciples of Jesus were warned never to say in the open or make known unto others, any good deed that has been done by them to others as such act would not earn them any reward from God. He also taught his disciples how to say the Lord’s prayer, forgiveness, giving and doing unto others as you would want them to do unto you (“Golden Rule”), never to act as hypocrites nor worry about what to eat tomorrow (for the Lord God would always provide).
A Christian follows the Bible and Jesus Christ no matter where it takes him. A Christian worldview is much different from zeitgeist and existentialism, and should always be separated from the two no matter how hard it could possibly be. You should always have a Christian worldview because it will allow you to have an easier life; you won’t get in trouble with the law, and will usually leave you healthier than
I try to teach them who God is, what God has done for us and that you must have a relationship with God daily, you can be all God wants you to be and you can do all God wants you to do. I am reminded about a verse in the bible that tells us that tomorrow is never promised to any of us. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28 Life is a precious gift and can be taken away in a single second. This is even easier when you are driving a car. One little mishap can result in extreme injuries
