17Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Introduction Paul’s epistle to the church at Colossae is by many measures a unique letter in the pages of the Bible. In this paper I will illustrate an exegesis of Colossians 3:12-17 including a block diagram to help in simplifying the verses discussed as well as provide a break-down for some of the key Greek words in each verse of the passage. While the focus for this paper is a key passage found in Colossians, in order to set the stage for an in-depth analysis, one must understand the background of the church at Colossae¸ the struggles the church faced, and the external influences. Paul’s epistle to the Colossians can be broken into two main parts: a doctrinal and a practical.
Echoes of Humility The Ethics of James 4:1-10 in Light of the Words and Actions of Jesus By Noah Stepro James and 1st Peter Dr. Joel Green 6-10-08 Fuller P.O. Box# 797 2 “More than any other NT document James has been subject to shifting opinions of its interpreters.”1 At the heart of this change is the issue of Christology within the highly theocentric book of James. While the author makes no overt christological claims regarding Jesus of Nazareth, he explicitly calls him Lord or ku,rioj (vv. 1:1; 2:1) in two instances and refers to God by the same title (vv. 3:9; 5:4) later in the book.
In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
Why do we exist? The purpose of mankind according to Christianity, is to know God. Deuteronomy 11:13 states that Man is to serve and to love God with all your heart and all your soul. Christianity is a relationship with God, not just following the tenants of a religion. Religion is seen as mans attempt to reach God.
This is based on various Bible passages. A second key belief is that Jesus is the Son of God and is one with God. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he is one with God, and that he was sent here for our salvation. In John 10:30, John the Apostle quotes Jesus as saying, "I and the Father are one." Another significant Christian belief is that Jesus suffered and was crucified.

Of the idea of God, Dewey said, "it denotes the unity of all ideal ends arousing us to desire and actions.” Jesus Christ had a different belief when it came to the existence of God and the increase of “human good”. Jesus believes that he is the son of God and that he is also God. That view differs from Dewey’s view all together because Dewey believes that that there was not personal God or Christ. “Education” that omits reference to Jesus’ role in this world is not education at all. (John 14:6) Jesus believed that God had communicated truth to all mankind through personal revelation of Himself in Jesus Christ and today Christians believe that God reveals himself through propositional, verbalized revelation of Himself in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
The record of the Lord’s Prayer has been recorded by Matthew and Luke in their account of Jesus Christ. This model of prayer has been part of Christian liturgy and tradition from the very beginning of Christendom. This model of prayer by Jesus Christ has been seen of underline the very theological mission and life of Jesus. Our Father who art in heaven The opening of the prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven” reflects Jesus’ own style of addressing God and which therefore also indicates Jesus’ intention that his disciples should share in his own sense of intimate sonship to God as Father. Jesus in the account of the four Gospels is seen to teach that God is our Father and seeks that kind of relationship with us.
