Today, if you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn to the book of Hebrews, Hebrews four and verses 15 and sixteen. “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Consider the fact that Jesus, who was God, knows everything from the beginning and the end. Therefore, he was fully aware of the horrors
Salvation is a completely free gift from the Lord and comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is idea lead people to a gracious lifestyle in order to be saved. This fear was accomplished by the dreadful images of hell to make people live good lives, in order to not suffer at the end of
Jesus and some of his men are pointing to their right, the viewers left. It seems as if Jesus is trying to show the man something or someone. Also what quickly sticks out is the fact that everyone in the mural has a halo like oval over their head besides the two men that seem to be working at one of the buildings. Even the man in the background sports the halo. This might mean they are more holy or they are men of god.
The devil is testing Christ’s strength but he manages to pass the tests from the devil. Even though Christ is the son of God he is living in flesh therefore open to temptations. The Master of Two worlds is the "Freedom to pass back and forth across the world division "(Campbell, 196). This is the stage where the hero has past all the obstacles that was blocking him/her passing from one world to the other. The hero is now comfortable in both worlds and has unlocked the passage way from one to the other, the hero now has an understanding of both worlds, the hero has realized that there is nothing major separating him/her from home to the new
If God is good, fully holy, and all-powerful, then why does Heallow evil and sin to be in the world? God created mankind with free will, which created the opportunity for disobedience against Him. To disobey of disbelieve anything in the Holy Bible is the same as disobeying or disbelieving God Himself, because all the words in Scripture, or God’s Law, are His words. Therefore when man disobeys the commands that God has set in place for him, he is sinning, and should be punished. Even though God is fully good, He created man who is fully sinful and He took on the sins of man by the atonement of Jesus Christ, His one and only son, to show His holiness and glory.
The Model of Christian Charity’s tone is more comforting and with great reason, Winthrop was trying to establish a loving comradely between the colonist. This is evident when he says that “all true Christians are of one body in Christ.” Then he compares each person to a body part and according to the sermon “The ligaments of this body are knit together by love. (Lauter 336) ” Winthrop realized that in order for the colony to succeed he had to have the colonist working as one unit especially considering the imminent dangers they were facing in the New World. He also tries to satisfy the individual by addressing the colonist concerns with wealth and social status. Winthrop assures his colonist that being rich, or poor is all part of God’s plan and everyone has a purpose in that plan.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and accceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1, 2). CONCLUSION; Sanctification is brought about in the life of the believer by his separating himself deliberately from all that is unclean and unholy, and by presenting, continually and constantly, the members of his body as holy instruments unto God for the accomplishment of His holy purposes. Thus by these single acts of surrender unto holiness, sanctification soon becomes the habit of the dedicated life. The experience of sanctification is not attained through mystical feats, nor through strict legalism, nor mental acumen. A proper concept of holiness terminates in the obvious-whatever belongs to a pure and righteous God must correspond with His nature, and be responsive to the uses of a pure and spiritual service.
The professor’s observations reveal that, although Captain Nemo shows respect for God as the Creator, he does not have faith in God; rather, he seeks revenge against humanity. The evidence that Captain Nemo respects God as the Creator is replete. Captain Nemo values the lives of those he holds dear, such as when he cried after his crew member died or when he saved the life of the pearl diver. In mourning and saving life, Captain Nemo showed a certain gratefulness for God’s creations. Captain Nemo also uses all of the Earth’s resources that God has given to fuel his explorations.
In most paragraphs he uses at least one allusion that the clergymen can compare his or their opinion to. For another example, “Just as the prophets did…’thus said the Lord’…just as Apostle Paul did…I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town” (204). Allusions are the best approach in this letter because he makes a lot of references to religious figures, which the clergymen can also show respect for and dare not go against what they have done or said. This also sets a tone of brotherhood between Martin Luther King and the clergymen because of them both being men of theology. But on the other hand using these figures to guilt
Jesus taught us a new definition for greatness, the word servant. “Anyone can be great, because anyone can serve.” He gave of Himself. Jesus showed us all by example how to be great; by giving our lives in service to God. His service to humankind was motivated by Love. Mark Twain said, “Kindness (Love) is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” That is the language that Jesus spoke.
