The scripture states that God created man in His own image and he created us so that we can serve and glorify Him in all that we do. The Bible also teaches us that God loves and cares for us so much that he sent his only son to save us from sin and give us grace. These are just some of the examples of how God is involved in our lives. This is the foundation of the Christian faith. Since I want to be a singer and songwriter, I definitely want to take the opportunity to be a light onto others with the way I interact with them. God gave me the ability to truly understand the fruit of the spirit so that I may show God’s love to others. People in my chosen vocation interact with each other in different ways, yet I want to be an example for others …show more content…
In order to spread the gospel, we must truly understand God’s Word and mediate in prayer so that we can spread the gospel in truth and with confidence. As stated before, we must have a strong relationship with God. We must allow Him to enter into our hearts and minds so that we may see the world through His eyes. In reality, Christ lives in us, but it is up to us to allow Him to take over our lives completely. The scripture states in Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (NIV). This verse displays how when Christ died on the cross, our sins, died with Him and now we are able to live by faith in Christ. Furthermore, to spread the gospel, we must make sure that we are right with God and see the truths of the world. When Christ lives in us our faith in Him becomes clear and we gain the confidence that we need to spread the gospel to others. When I become a singer and songwriter I want that to translate that into my performances when I preform in front of large crowds. With God by my side, I can interact with crowds confidently and be an example onto others of How He lives in me. Additionally, I know He would give me the wisdom that I need to write songs that would use me to represent Him. I am sure that He will give me the words to write in my songs to represent Him just as He did with the authors of the

    The Drama Of Scripture Analysis

    In the book The Drama of Scripture by Craig G. Bartholomew and Michael W. Goheen, they take the Bible and break down all of the stories. Bartholomew and Goheen start off with explaining the Creation story. In Act 1 they talk about the importance of names, especially God’s name, and the men describe how God made humankind in his own image. They do a great job of examining each little thing that God does towards Adam and Eve. Such as, God showing his immense love for his creations by giving Adam a partner after realizing that Adam was lonely because all of the other animals had a partner to be with as read in Genesis 2:18-25.…

    Marc Kettler How To Read The Bible Summary

    In his book How to Read the Jewish Bible, Marc Brettler (2005) introduces the reader to the Bible employing the methods modern biblical scholars use to understand the Hebrew scriptures. How successfully he does this depends not only on the content of his book, but also on the intended audience. In order to ascertain how well Brettler accomplished the intended goals of the book, one must first decipher what the goals of the work are. In the preface to the paperback edition of the book Brettler asserts that he wishes to introduce the Jewish Bible to a wider audience than is normally brought into the circle of biblical scholars (Brettler, 2005, vii).…

    This Strange And Sacred Scripture Analysis

    Matthew Richard Schlimm, who wrote “This Strange and Sacred Scripture” raises a plethora of questions to sections of the Bible people have always thought to have had answers too. As someone who has always taken the Bible at face value and believed everything to be true; both the Old Testament class and Schlimm’s book make me question what I truly know as a fact from the Bible. Both the class and the book make me wonder why God did certain things in a particular way too. One of the first topics of Schlimm’s book that we discussed in class was, is it okay to have doubts and ask questions about the Bible? Which was a really hard topic for me to comprehended at the beginning of the class, but know my perspective on the question has completely changed.…

    Summary Of Lori Hope Lefkovitz's 'In Scripture'

    One of the main goals of Lori Hope Lefkovitz’s book In Scripture: The First Stories of Jewish Sexual Identities, is to critique sexual identities and the roles assigned to them based on patriarchy. Lefkovitz challenges the reader to imagine, or even believe that the creation account that we have become comfortable with reciting could be more culturally taught and believed because of the consistently concrete retelling over time rather than inherently actual. She wants us to see sexual identity as ambiguous; for example, Lefkovitz reads Genesis as presenting God as having both male and female attributes. Like God, Adam also brings life into the world, a role designated as the essence of what it means to be female. Eve and Lillith, on the other…

Morality must be fully understood by all people regardless of religion. All people must understand it exists because of evil, and last but not least, all learn about morality in their own way.

    Annotated Bible Research Paper

    The Gospels of The New Oxford Annotated Bible aim to tell of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors build the narratives around the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus because of how much of an impact God’s sacrifice has on Jesus’ ministry. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). Throughout the book of John, Jesus repeatedly says that he is the Son of God, the Son of Man, and God. If Jesus is both the Son of God and God, then it follows that God himself is the Son of Man as well.…

    Interpreting A Religious Text In Rabbinic Judaism

    Interpreting A Religious Text In Rabbinic Judaism

    In Rabbinic Judaism, a rabbi’s main duty was to interpret religious text. Similar to how judges interpret the U.S. constitution today, a rabbi formulated his interpretations on texts directly derived from God and attempted to perceive how the text was applicable to a Jew’s daily life. Therefore, the claim, “Despite the theological claims of the Jewish tradition, it is actually not God who legislates Rabbinic Judaism, but the Rabbis,” is false because rabbis focused on making God a constant participant in the process of legislating and interpreting texts. In the procedure of interpreting a religious text, the rabbis always kept God as their central focus as they deciphered.…
