God in Christianity

up in a Christian home. My grandfather was a pastor and host of family members are ministers. I went to church three times a week. My parents had strict rules growing up. I was often teased in school for being the church girl. I was taught about God through my parent, bible and church. I realized my sinful nature when I attended high school. I started to rebel and hang out with the wrong crew. I was skipping school. I was even attending church, I was an usher and a choir member. I was…

denominations and international churches that I have experienced so far in my life. For starters, I grew up in a “every Sunday” church family. In fact, I was at church the very next Sunday after being born. My first church was part of the Assemblies of God. However, a few years later my parents divorced and we ended up at a non-denomination church, where I spent the next 20 years. All through my childhood, I heard about Jesus and I remember being about four years old when my mother knelt beside…

Baptism is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption with the use of water in the Christian church. Jesus came from Galilee to the River of Jordan and was baptized by John the Baptist. Many have called baptism a sacrament and an ordinance of Jesus Christ. Baptisms in some denominations are called christening, but usually when you hear the word christening you think of the baptism of infants. Among the early Christians a candidate for baptism would be totally submerged under the water or…

Incarnation is the powerful mystery that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became flesh to fulfill our salvation and to save us from both sin and death. The Incarnation is the greatest sign of Christian faith to be true. In the Gospel of Luke, we are told that through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Incarnation came to be accurate. An angel named Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her that you will have a child named Jesus. Knowing that Jesus means “God saves”, she is confused because she has…

though the body of Christ has many parts, there is only one body. 4. All parts of the body are important, not just the external (visible) but also the internal (invisible parts). 5. Just because a part is not seen, it is still a part of the body. 6 God has placed the parts in the body "just as He wanted, 7. Where would the body be if there were only one part? 8. All the parts work together to form one body”. All these parts need to be in place in order to produce disciples. If the body is…

Jesus’ main roles with the title Son of Man is that he has authority. Mark 2:10 tells us the story of Jesus astoundingly healing a paralyzed man. Barclay says back then “it was their firm belief that sin and sickness were indissolubly linked together. God seemed to be the only one that could forgive sins.” Jesus then told the man that his sins were forgiven. (Mark 2:6) People were proclaiming blasphemy towards Jesus’ authority. Jesus then commanded the paralytic to get up and go home, and so…
