Having God in my life has significantly impacted my life by helping me find peace, hope, and purpose. I am thankful because He has given me everything I will ever need and more. Without God, I would be nothing. Accepting God's existence in my life not only has given me peace, purpose, and hope, but has also changed the way I live. I have changed from the way I dress to the way I speak. Having God's ever lasting presence and grace in my life has made me appreciate everything He does and will do for me. Now, because of His precious blood, I am saved and am free of all sin and of affliction. First of all, I have found peace in God. I have learned that I can lay my troubles in his hands and trust that he will resolve them and give me peace. …show more content…
His word says, "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing steadfastly in prayer" (Romans 12:12 ASV). This means to be happy in times of hope, to maintain hope in times of trouble, and most of all to continue in communication with him. With the simple act of maintaining communication with God, in His name you can be unstoppable. These words give me hope knowing that God will always be there with me and will help me fight my battles, giving me strength and resilience. A biblical event that occurred that to this day gives me hope is when God makes a promise to Abraham, "But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him" (Genesis 17:19). As time passed the promise would not come true making Sarah's faith waver and requesting her husband, Abraham, to lay down with Hagar, her handmaid, giving birth to Ishmael, "So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him" (Genesis 21:2). This short biblical story restores not only my faith but also my hope, knowing that God will always be true to his promises and will never lie or break a

    In a Perfect World “All that we call human history - money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery - is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” – C.S. Lewis. How much better of a world would we find ourselves in today if all of the “long terrible story” had never been told? I believe we might feel more joy and less despair in our lives, find comfort everywhere, and embrace unity. We might even see our path in life more clearly and catch the sweet fragrance of hope stronger than ever before.…

    People can know God without Scripture, however; it is most likely to be in a distorted or suppressed sense. People can know of God’s existence and salvation, but their viewpoint is limited. The understanding apart from God is limited due to sin. Sin causes a warped and hampered sense of God. The Bible has mentioned the wise who are actually foolish because they do not believe, those who can not see so they do not believe, and the scales on the eyelids.…

    At the beginning of the assignment I felt anxious and scared since the first day I heard that I had to visit a religious site outside my own. I had no idea where to go and how to begin I know in Miami there are about 274 church according to the Miami Dade County. In addition, I went over the list of churches but every moment I was supposed to make a choice I postpone it because I was a little intimidated going alone. Since I can remember going to church I found it boring with the old music since I was so young I couldn’t appreciate the music or understand. I only went to churches when it was a funeral which only has been about two or three times.…

    Beliefs, Biases and Behaviors I learned late in life the real process of what it takes to build a quality life and establish a firm foundation through Jesus Christ. The attacks of the enemy were severe in my family and in my childhood. As a result of misguided and deceptive information, I landed in places which took away from the original plan of God for my life. However, as I gained new ground through my rebirth, The Holy Spirit became powerful and formed a new soul and a new mind in my being. As a result, I began to understand my purpose, his plan, and the process I have to go through to achieve those goals.…

    There are many things that people believe Christians are, and it defers from denomination to denomination. Being a Christian does not mean that you are going to get everything right, it does not mean that you are never going to sin again, or even that you are holier than anyone. To be a Christian is not about rules and regulations (Like what is taught in the Old Testament) but it is about coming into a relationship with our Lord and Savior. It does not mean that you must go to church, pay tithes, read scripture, or really do anything in order to stay a Christian other than believe. Being a Christian is all about understanding that we are called to be transformed on the inside and not be controlled by what is going on around us, it means that…

However, some obstacles are tougher than others, some seem impossible, and others I find the solution within no time. God does all of this out of love, which also is a powerful word in my life.…

    Seeing God Reflection

    While reflecting on the nine steps to living a moral life, the beatitudes, and previous journals, I was able to recognize the common theme of seeing God in my life. Seeing God in our lives is something we can experience everyday if we are looking for God and willing to listen to Him. At first, the thought of seeing God daily seemed next to impossible because it’s not everyday that someone experiences a miracle. I realized that God makes Himself known all the time, but I don’t always notice Him because I am too caught up in the world around me. God does not need to perform a miracle to reveal Himself, but rather He reveals Himself through the people, places, and events around us.…

    It's better for you to live judgement for God rather than condemning a man of God for what you are not certain about; and it's better to stay away from them if your closeness may lead you to too much familiarity that may cause you to despise them and reign down the curses of God upon you.” Definitely, those who are not sincere, leave them with their conscience or you pray for them; but know it that in time to come they will surely face the judgement throne of God. On the other hand, make sure you are certain about the ones that mentor your life not to be misled by false doctrine that might end you in destruction. In summary, always remember that they are flesh and blood as you are, therefore, do not tempt them because their words is not in vain, but rather pray for them, encourage them, and stand by them to get the best out of them (Hebrew 13:18a). The Bible says, believe my servant and ye shall prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20)…

    The Love Of God Essay

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
