But the Savior taught that true freedom comes only from following Him: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31–32). God gives commandments for our benefit. They are loving instructions for our happiness and for our physical and spiritual well
The proposed “strength” in line one becomes the “saving refuge” in the following line. The Lord is their strength, thus he is the strength of all Israel because he is the “saving refuge” of His anointed. The psalmist sees that our Lord and Savior will always be in our lives and will defend His people and anointed. The final verse also uses synonymous parallelism. The first example is “save your people” and “be their shepherd” both show the want for His salvation.
Paragraph 8 How does Hassan’s great ability to forgive allow him to lead a full life? Hassan was able to lead a fulfilling life due to his great ability of forgiving others and continuing to strive forward without the past catching up to him. There are many ways this is shown throughout the text and it is Amir who Hassan is always forgiving that really shows how strong of a heart Hassan has and his amazing ability to forgive. This is shown when Amir quotes “This was Hassan’s final sacrifice for me.” This quote demonstrates exactly why Hassan was able to fulfil his life; because he was able to forgive and make amends with others surrounding him. Another way this is shown is when he allows his mother who he had not seen “….since she had eloped with a band of singers and dancers in 1964”.

The Qur’an came through a series of revelations to Muhammad, from the angel Gabriel when Muhammad was 40 years old, away on one of his common retreats for solidarity in the city of Ramadan.
Because David asked for mercy, God extended mercy to him and his wife Bathsheba, according to 2nd Samuel 12:24-25. In addition, God loved on Solomon, who was the son of David and Bathsheba. So therefore, it reflected that God bestowed mercy on David in spite of the sins that he committed. The key words in the scriptures that are connected with mercy are lovingkindness, love, and forgiveness. So therefore, David was thankful that God was merciful to him.
I grab a water and lie on the cot inside of our Canopy, and I sit there patiently for a few minutes until my fellow campers wake up. My friend Jay is the first of my friends to wake up, and he walks out of his tent wondering exactly what I first wondered. He asks, "Where is Austin at?" I respond with a question of my own, "Did he stay here or at his campsite?" He answered," When I fell asleep he was on the cot that you are on, and that was at about 3:30 in the morning."
According to Augustine, grace is given while reward is earned. Grace in its very nature is gratuitous, thus it is bestowed upon us irrespective of our works, whereas reward is a consequence of our actions. Grace is designed to be both complementary and independent to the free will, so that anyone can freely will to accept the grace and live a righteous life, Augustine explains.
