Joseph also taught the craft of carpentry to Jesus. His life is recorded in the New Testament Gospels, but the exact years of his life are uncertain. Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus’ public life, at his death, or resurrection, many historians believe Joseph probably had died before Jesus’ public ministry. Saint Joseph was a compassionate, caring man; when he discovered Mary was pregnant after they had been betrothed, he knew the child was not his, but was just as unaware she was carrying the Son of God. He planned to divorce Mary, but was concerned for her suffering and safety.
Scriptures to look up in the Bible: John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. (2.) Man is sinful and separated from God. Scriptures: Rom. 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Anyone can have it. God is the forgiver of all sins. John chapter three says “For God so loved the world, he gave his only son; that whoever believe in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” This scripture is basically saying that God loves us so much, He sent his son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die for our sins. Another example of this in scripture is Romans chapter five. It says “For God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse basically says the same thing as John chapter three.

He grew to adulthood without being a Christian, although his mother was a devout Christian. It wasn’t until he was nearly killed in the Dutch East Indies rebellion that he opened the Bible his mother had given him when he enlisted in the military. He only read it because there was nothing else to read while he was recovering in the military hospital. That is when he saw new meaning in what he had heard in church when he was growing up, and it suddenly made sense to him. He repented and promised to make Jesus the Lord of his life.
However, this in no way means that I do not believe in everything Gandhi stood for. Ever since I was just a baby, my parents were very involved with God and I have been taught that I can turn to Jesus for anything and everything. Since I am a Christian, I do believe Jesus came down from Heaven to free us of our sins. The reason I choose to follow Jesus Christ is because I believe that he is leading me on the right path to my ultimate goal,
I have grown to be loving, respectful, and polite. I have two children myself, and now I make sure that they are raised in church also. My mother has taught me to become the woman I am today. She has influenced me in all aspects of my life. She raised me to be respectful, educated, generous, and kind.
I am so thankful for my school, the teachers, and my close friends. I thank God for bringing me though all my 12 years of school. I thank God for the loving family I have.

10:9). This verse is talking about how God takes a group of people with leadership and place each one of them in different places, so they can save souls. Souls like mine, I was rescued when I was 12 years old and I will never regret stepping to the front of the church to change my life. Since that day, my life has been different, even though I still have problems; I know God is there to help me and I also know he will never leave my side. In Christianity there are also benefits.
No human is perfect. God designed the Old Testament sacrificial system as a way of atonement for sin but it was no longer needed because Jesus paid the price for sin once for all time and for all people. The third theme is worship. In Leviticus we see that God’s desire is to enjoy fellowship with his people. Through worship His people express their love, honor, thanks and praise to Him.
