no one can really appreciate the absoluteness of God’s redemption as defined by their actions; he asserted that (entire quote is necessary to appreciate its significance): The decisive factor is said to be that in Christianity the hope of the resurrection is proclaimed, and that means the emergence of a genuine religion of redemption, the main emphasis now being on the far side of the boundary…
The seven methods that evangelists can become successful. First, “Biblical theology,” is needed for a person planning to be a good evangelist. This person needs to receive a spiritual calling from God, have a strong faith, and know the purpose of evangelism. A successful evangelist, an example of Paul, who challenged each member of the body of Christ to “fulfil your ministry” (Abraham J. Jules). Evangelists should have a disposition that respects, honors, and shows love to others. The love and…
these holidays, and many Christians unite to celebrate Jesus' birth and resurrection. Nevertheless, celebrating the holidays still remains controversial among some Christians. Indeed, it is dangerous to allow evil to influence one's actions, but God has a way of using evil for good. Those who study the Bible realize that although it never denounces these holidays, Christians must ignore the worldly aspects and focus on proclaiming and praising Jesus. As long as giving all glory to God remains…
Christianity were almost identical. However, Christianity was based on the prophesy of Isaiah, who approximately 700 years before the arrival of Jesus, announced the arrival of the Messiah. The book of Isaiah, chapter 53 provides a clear description of everything Jesus went through during the crucifixion and how these experiences made it evident that Jesus is the messiah. This chapter describes God’s…
Matthew chapter 27 records the trial and death of Christ. Needless to say, Jesus’ death was a monumental event in history.

The arrest of Jesus Christ is a tale of deep betrayal. Judas Iscariot, a member of the original twelve disciples, was contacted by Caiaphas the high priest. Judas was contracted for thirty…
The fourth section of Matthew’s account of Jesus’ temptation is an attempt by Satan to get Jesus to worship him. MacArthur writes that “Satan drops his pretenses…and finally reveals his supreme purpose: to induce Jesus Christ to worship him.” Satan shows Christ all the kingdoms of the cosmos their glory and offers to Christ what he has shown Him if Christ were to fall down and worship Satan himself.

relationship towards their divine master in which I believe is islam. Islam and Christianity share a common belief in many things. Both religions believe that Jesus is the messiah and can perform miracles. Jesus was born from a virgin, which was the virgin Mary, and that God gave virgin Mary the baby. This means that Jesus had a miracle birth. Jesus lived a pure, sin free life. Muslims and Christians believe that judgement day will come and everyone…
in my Christian adventure. He has proved His existence to me. He is real; those who claim otherwise are wrong. They form their opinion using a limited data set. I may not be able to prove His existence to a disputing non-Believer, per se, but He (Jesus) is very able to prove Himself, and He has to many, if not to all of His…
