The one who has the Son has this eternal life; The one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life. Isaiah in the Old Testament put a profound statement that makes us understand that our sins have brought a total separation between man and God. Isaiah 59:2 but your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; Your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayer.
According to Romans 5:8, God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Why did Christ have to die for us? Because Scripture declares all men to be sinful. To “sin” means to miss the mark. The Bible declares “all have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God” (Rom. 3:23). In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and God must therefore judge sinful man. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Talking about salvation which Angela reveals it through St. Francis, it is one of the most important step in life that one must achieve to have eternal life the only

    St Agnes was tortured for being a Christian in her time, it was against the law to follow Christianity. Although in Australia I can not go through what St Agnes did for being a Christian, many people around the world are still tortured, placed in jail and even murdered for simply being a Christian. A way that I can help is by writing a letter to the united nations raising awareness of the lack of freedom of religion around the world. I would ask them to work hard in the 6 countries that the American government marked as “countries of particular concern” for religious freedom violations. These countries include Iran, Burma, China, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan.…

    Let Her Voice Be Heard: Patriarchal Control, and Traditional Gender Roles in “Christina of Markyate” and “Hildegard of Bingen” written by Anonymous Authors The Bible states, “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet” (Timothy 2:11-12). Such courageous acts including, voicing one’s opinion, sharing beliefs, and expressing knowledge are just a few examples of what women could not do during the medieval ages. Like any other female during the third and beginning of the twelfth century, Christina of Markyate, formally known as Theodora, and Hildegard of Bingen are considered inferior to the male sex. Women are expected to respect the wishes of their parents, oblige to marry and live a life according to stereotypical heterosexual norms.…

    During the Early Middle Ages, many women fulfilled major roles in society. Noble-women in particular made up a great number of women who actively participated in medieval civilizations.

Merovingian Queen Bathild is yet another example of an important woman during this time period.…

    The Cross Symbol of Grace As someone had said, “At the cross, God gave the most precious thing He possessed for the most undeserving people He knew.” This truth is vividly illustrated by Christ’s acceptance of the repentant thief while hanging on the cross. “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). As Henk Hamsteeg put it in an article in Challenge Weekly, “A sin soaked criminal is received by a blood stained Savior. That’s the pure definition of grace.”…

    We do not deserve to go to heaven, but we are able to do that through Jesus. So, to be saved by grace means that the judgment due to us because of our sin against God, i.e. lying, stealing, adultery, fornication, coveting, lust, etc., will not befall us; that is forgiveness. But in addition, we get what we do not deserve, being in the presence of God. Finally, the only way to be saved by grace is by putting your trust in what Jesus did on the cross. Christians believe that real transformation happens when one accepts Christ in their heart and the Holy Spirit dwells in their…
