It guides them to make the correct ethical decisions in life fulfilling their role as Christians. Ethics is the decision between right and wrong influenced heavily by beliefs and responsibilities of an adherent. Through the Bible, teachings by Jesus through parables such as the ‘Good Samaritan’ educate them on the way they should behave in everyday situations. In this parable, a man is neglected by a priest and a Levite but is helped by a Samaritan, a person who was disliked in that time. It shows Christians that they should help everyone who is in need, leaving no one behind.
Biblical Worldview according to Romans 1-8 The epistle of Romans has so many lessons how Christians should live. It creates the whole idea of how Christians should view the natural world, their identity as people, their relationships, culture and civilization among other things. Romans 1-8 is rich with Paul’s advice to the Christians in Rome that is not easy to understand without looking deep into it. These scriptures show the inability of good works to save mankind and the faithfulness of God in the salvation of mankind that justify, sanctify and glorify the wretched man through grace. The Natural World God created the natural world through His word.
If we are able to do this, God will take note of our faithfulness by rewarding us with eternal life with him in heaven. God praises those who have the courage to do what is right and knows who takes value of his love by the actions in which we show. In the movie John Q, all the Beatitudes have been shown, and most of them have been ignored. Throughout the movie John Q is made to be merciful, to try and make peace, to be pure but mostly John has to fight for justice because of the problems he faces and the life morals he values. John can be related to every single one of the Beatitudes.
Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth. The Son of God is also evident from the sacred texts of the Gospel testimonies which include the wonders and recoveries on people achieved by Jesus, and from the witness to his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven by his followers and other eyewitnesses. The beliefs of the divinity recognise his relationship to God as Son. Jesus’s divinity showed Jesus’ role to be the salvation of humanity and to resurrect and rise to defeat death. In the Gospel of John 1:14 “The Word became
The Character Traits of Abraham Abraham was a man who sought after God. In most everything that we learn about his life we see that he chose to have faith and to be a good leader. However, just like any other person, he had his faults and shortcomings. At times he decided to go his own way, instead of trusting God’s omniscient and omnipotent nature. In this paper I will discuss several character traits that I feel describe Abraham and the choices that he made throughout his life.
I want to show and tell others what He has done for me and what He can do for them. Scripture makes it clear that God is with us. (Haggai 2:4) says; “Be strong you people of the land declares the Lord and work for I am with you”. Whenever someone receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith as his Creator and Savior he or indeed becomes “a new creation” (II Corinthians 5:17), and the miracle of regeneration is always recognized in Scripture as an instantaneous event accomplished by the Creator in the mind and heart of the believer at the time of
• “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and has anointed me to preach the Gospel” (Russell 148). Thesis: The Holy Spirit in the book of Acts comes upon you, gives you power, and allows you to witness.

As we can see, Equiano became free with the help of self-reliance which is indispensable for those who also want to become free not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. You need this skill because there are occasions in life where you are alone; no one stands behind you and makes the choice instead of you. Christianity is also an important factor in Equiano’s life. As Martin writes in the critical reading ‘God helps those who help themselves’ (Martin, 257). Belief is a clambering for everyone just like for Equiano.
It was very hard for me to understand (at the time) how such a loving God would allow such an amazing, loving, compassionate, and authentic man of God to get so sick and in the end go to heaven at the age of 45. In fact, it took me quite a few years to actually understand that it wasn't done to my family, it happened for God's greater good and kingdom purpose. My Dad never lost his faith. He always gave Thanks and Praise to God for blessing him with his family, the ability to love, and the freedom to learn about Christ's character. Today, I can look back with peace and understand all the pain and hurt was worth it, because now I walk and seek the same passionate relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.
