    Ephesian 1: 4-5a Analysis

    Finally, Christians often isolate themselves from the world because they do not believe their lives could make any difference. This problem often arises when people take Biblical truths, such as predestination, out of context. In Ephesian 1:4-5a, it reads, “According as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be hold and without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself…” People take this to mean that God has chosen His people, so the rest of humanity can give up on the currently unsaved because if God wants them, He will call them. However, this problem arises because humans do not always view themselves as God’s tools as well as children.…

My favorite two verses that explain servantship so well are Acts 20:35, “....…

    The book “The Messiah: Revealed, Rejected, Received” by William Varner explains to us what a messiah is and why we even need a messiah.. The book shows that when the Jews wanted God to send them down someone they were not satisfied with what God had in store for them. Lastly we see who the messiah God sent is, and how that after most people walked away from the Lord, some were still choosing to follow. As this book goes into great detail addressing all those topics I just mentioned, the overall theme is showing us what a messiah is and what the importance of one is from the point of view of a believer, while still being aware of the Jews believed.…

    The story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan can, like many of the other stories of the Hebrew Bible, can be explained as reflections of the religious, political, and societal beliefs of their composers and editors. As a historical piece, the account of Israel’s conquest of Canaan fails to match the current archeological understanding of the Canaanite settlements mentioned in The Book of Joshau. The inaccuracies fail to reflect an accurate historical model, but they suggest that the Book of Joshua is symbolic of its writers. The religious purpose of the story of the conquest of Canaan is to explain the geopolitical and geographical aspects of pre-exilic Israel whilst maintaining their belief that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God. The story highlights and explains several important facets of the Hebrew world at the time of the Book of Joshau’s inclusion in the biblical canon.…
