Instead it means than humanity is only saved by the free grace and mere good will of God and that whosoever believes in Christ and has faith may escape Hell. These concepts are illustrated throughout the works of Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Works Cited "Edwards, Jonathan, 1703-58, American Theologian and Metaphysician."

ARTICLE 6 We believe in sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and the Holy Ghost. SANCTIFICATION ..1 Thessalonians 4:3-4:3 INTRODUCTION: The doctrine of sanctification is one of the most misunderstood teachings recorded in the New Testament. This is due, in large part, to the fact that it deals with consecration and holiness. If regeneration has to do with our nature, justification with our standing, and adoption with our position, then sanctification has to do with our character and conduct. In justification we are declared righteous in order that through sanctification we may become righteous.
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
Adherents believe meaning can be found in their response to evil and suffering. A principal belief of Christianity is that God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, as a human to model how to be truly human and to reach full potential as an adherent. Adherents believe Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through the Immaculate Conception after Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to bring her the news. It is believed Jesus Christ was sacrificed through his crucifixion to save adherents from their sins, and
Biblical Worldview Essay Introduction: The “Image of God.” What is the image of God in a Christian? The “image of God” is vastly used to describe what the Christian faith should portray. We can find this term in the Bible a few times. In the Old Testament, Genesis 1:26-27 to be exact we find that it states that “man is created to the image of God”. I believe that “the belief that mankind is created in the image of God” really is trying to allow us to see that our reflection should be that of those characteristics that God portrays such as compassion, love, understanding, patience, respect and so on.
Paul in his concourses wrote about how fellow Christians should be portrayed. He tells us in Romans 1:18-3:20, that we are all sinners. Another idea mention by Paul was how God made a way for salvation to mankind. The Jews, at that point, was deeply interwoven with their faith, their whole individuality was bound in their belief structure whereas the Gentiles had multiple gods. Their personality was bound in the natural.

However, in his headquarters in the city of Capernaum there is more that happens previous to this account in the ministry of the Savior. This passage has a couple of climaxes. The second, amazing act in which Jesus chooses to heal this man by speaking the words, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” This paper will attempt to generalize as much information from this account in the ministry of Christ, and its theme of proving that Jesus, the Son of God, has the same power and authority to forgive sins, as only is Father has. Translation The King James Version (KJV) of the passage reads as follows: 1And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
The first belief system I will talk about is Christianity. This belief system is monotheistic because they believe in one God called Jesus Christ. Like documents 9,10 say they believe in one holy book called the Holy Bible (Documents 9,10). This book describes the things that Jesus Christ does and outlines the beliefs of what Christians should do. Christians believe that Humanity is saved through Gods grace and the acceptance of Christ as their savior.
And this true relationship is one of the main advantages of being human – that we are “a little lower than God and crowned with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:5) This is proven in John 14 because as Jesus, whose relationship with the Spirit is incomparable, talks of the Spirit, he uses the pronouns he and him – not it. The reason for us to develop our relationship with the Spirit is that he may be with us even more so than God or Jesus. I say this because we know that Jesus ascended into heaven to be with the Father, but the Spirit has been sent to us on earth by Jesus to be our comforter and our guide (John 14:16). He has three main jobs with the church: to teach us the truth, build the church, and help us spread God's love. The Spirit's job in regard to truth is to teach us unknown things about God, for just as no one knows are deep secrets of a person but that person's spirit, so can no one know God's secrets except his Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:11).
