Salvation

there are several topics covered; to include The Natural World, Human Identity, Human Relationships, and Culture. Paul’s word inspired numerous of believers to understand the true fundamentals and foundations of the Christian faith by informing them salvation is obtained through faith in God. “Paul teaches about the sinful nature of all men in the eyes of God, justification by faith in Jesus Christ, freedom from sin, and victory in Christ” (Smith). II. The Natural World God created the natural…

Under the enlightenment of conversion Saint Augustine opens up his famous autobiography, Confessions, with an exclamation to God, “you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you” (I. i. 1). The sentiment, while spoken to the Lord, is really directed at the readers on whom he hopes to impart his wisdom. Starting from his physical birth on Earth and ending with his spiritual birth into Christianity, St. Augustine weaves together a narrative in nine books using…

pertaining to the Gospel message, I think of Acts 2:21 (“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (KJV)), Romans 1:16 (“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (KJV)), and Romans 3:23 (“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (KJV)). One thing that I am especially thankful for is that each and…

reduced to a 4 point presentation that’s a surefire way to salvation. Telling people that “God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life” is one of the most dangerous things you can tell someone. When you assure someone that they’re in God’s love when in reality they are an enemy of God and stand under his judgment, you give them false assurance and validation to live however they want to. Someone who has a “personal salvation experience” is likely to be set in their ways and not want…

To Paul of Tarsus, the Law is less important compare to faith which he believes can bring salvation to everybody. According to Paul, all people are sinners. The way people become sinners not only because people have original sin but also for various reasons. For example,some people are sinner because they suppress the truth and believes on the things which is considered as wickedness. As the result their mind goes darken, their heart become impurity and they will do something dishonor either in…

“Bless the Lord, O my soul…who forgives all your iniquities…who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies” (Psalm 103:4, NKJV). The Old and New Testaments present the mercies of the God very clearly. However, some read the Old Testament and only see a wrathful vengeful God within its chapters ,even though this is part of who God because of the sin that taints his creation. The Old Testament is not a testament to his wrath and vengeance it is a…

to the church in Rome and specifically to his fellow believers. He is grateful that they proclaim their faith and has wanted to see them, but has been unable to because of extraneous circumstances. Paul is not ashamed of his faith and knows that salvation will come first to the Jews and then the Gentiles. He goes on to say in chapter 2 and 3 how God is against unrighteousness and suppressing of the truth. God gave up people to their desires because they had traded truth for lies and they have…

Moreover, what influences a person’s ability to be completely confident in someone or something? Trust is a concept taught and learned all throughout childhood and then shaped by the environment that the child is raised in. In the short essay, “Salvation,” Langston Hughes writes about a childhood experience which shows that social pressure can greatly affect a child’s life, or more specifically his or her beliefs. Langston Hughes grew up in a predominantly Christian environment which shaped his…

decide. The Romans had a custom of releasing a prisoner whom they would people choose at the festivals. Pilate is hoping they would choose Jesus and he would be free of any responsibility. V:7 Marks says a prisoner by the name of Barabbas had committed murder in an insurrection. He was a nationalist who opposed Roman rule and wanted freedom from Rome. He was in prison awaiting his execution. His name is interesting, (Who can tell me just by looking at his name) it means son of the father.…
