The passages concerning new life of one’s preface were Romans 6:19-23 and Colossians 3:1-14, because the passages describes the then and now in one’s life. Paul writes addressing the Romans Christians saying,
“I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. For when you were slaves, you were free in regard to righteousness. Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of

Set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him, a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in

    Dr. Jekyll laments that this “doom and burthen of our life is bound forever on man 's shoulders” (78). That is not the case. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (KJV). Without God 's forgiveness and salvation for people 's sin against Himself, the result of one 's sin would be death and eternal separation from Him. This doom can be cast off fully and eternally by repenting of one 's sin and relying on God for salvation from unrighteousness and its consequences.…

    Death has always been seen as the essence of misery, darkness, and evil. When people are exposed to the concept of dying, they are frightened, because death leads to lands that are unknown to man. Even though people do not understand it, the unknown world of the afterlife is assumed to be cold and lonely, an inescapable void. People, when they think of death, are reminded of how they lost their loved ones to it, how they have mourned those they will never be able to see again. However, while this is the widespread view of the afterlife, there are people who see death as a new beginning.…

    Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Athanasius of Alexandria were both Church Fathers that had a renowned impact on Christian philosophy and Christian theology. In their works, these first century theologians wrestled with issues such as divine providence, the will of God, God’s relationship with the human race, salvation, and many more topics of discussion still relevant to theologians in the present day. Like many of their peers in the church, they agreed on certain matters, one of which is that the purpose of humans is to love God unconditionally and to respond to God’s Grace that he gave to humanity. They also agreed that evil and human sin pulls one away from the relationship he is meant to have with God. However, when reading their works,…

    The great minister Jonathan Edwards’s sermon to his congregation stands as a warning of the dangers they will face if they fail to rue for their sins and devote to Almighty God. He expresses his conviction that all people are surviving only through the mercy of God, and if they do not repent then God will gladly and easily cast them all to hell. He argues that, because of God's power, there is absolutely no escape for the wicked no matter how ,“moral and strict, sober and religious, they may otherwise be,” (line 24). Edwards wants his listeners to understand that the only hope is for them to choose God as their only salvation, if they wish to avoid eternal pain and torment, is to repent for their sinful actions and be converted. Ultimately, Jonathan Edwards tries to paint the most convincing and vivid pictures of the horrors…
