that asked the question in Psalms 8;4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: No one knows the love of God as does sinful humanity does. The angels sinned and God judged them immediately, man sinned and God became a man and redeemed him. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:3 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19 …show more content…
The love of Christ is the love of God. Don’t attempt to understand it, just enjoy it. Prayer - Father God, thank for your unchanging love. Amen 62
(59) No Leaning Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5,6 Trusting God is waiting on God despite adverse circumstances that comes into our lives. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh 's daughter;25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

4 But Abel brought [an offering of] the [finest] firstborn of his flock and the fat portions. And the Lord had respect (regard) for Abel and for his offering; 5 but for Cain and his offering He had no respect. So Cain became extremely angry (indignant), and he looked annoyed and hostile. 6 And the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you so angry? And why do you look annoyed? 7 If you do well [believing Me and doing what is acceptable and pleasing to Me], will you not be accepted? Genesis 4:3-7 Adam taught both of his son what was an acceptable sacrifice to God. Cain decided he would offer to God a sacrifice of his choosing. Able followed Adam instructions and offered to God a blood sacrifice. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and rejected Cain’s sacrifice. Today all over the world people are attempting to worship a holy God through the sacrifice of their choosing. Our holy God has approved but one sacrifice, listen. For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the
Week Four Devotional Luke 10:27 God’s command is for us to love Him with our total being. This cannot be accomplished on our own. Apart from God, it is impossible to love Him. One must know God for who He is.
Jorstad focuses on Cain. She dissects a quote from Genesis and it does not appear to have much relevance to her argument. The main thing to take away from this paragraph is that she quotes the Bible in saying “cursed are you from the ground that opened its mouth to take the blood of your brother from your hand”. She brings up a good point and describes the fact that the ground physically opens up to take the blood from Cain. This is significant because the ground opens up its mouth seemingly with joy, as if it was happy to accept the blood of Cain.
This led him to consume his anger with hatred against God, and he found himself asking "Why, but why should I bless
“It isn't fair how I doubt him, and I wonder if he'll ever gather that my loss of faith extends further than I'd ever known it would, severing lines of trust and leveling my confidence like a city-flattening tornado.” “(Webber).” This quote by Tammara Webber shows that no matter how much faith you have before in some situations it may go away in an instant making you not only wonder just how much faith did you lose and the lines of trust that was broken, but also how much you now doubt your god making you slowly grow as a new person gaining confidence as you start to go through more and more soul crushing hardships that make you think at what cost. Hard experiences that make you do and believe things you never thought you would of in your
For instance we can see the outrage when he mention, “It is sinful in the extreme for you to make voluntary submission.” Another time the audience can see that he is angry is when he uses the phrase ,“And worse than all, you tamely submit while your lords tear your wives from your embraces and defile them before your eyes. In the name of God, we ask you, are you men? Where is the blood of your fathers? Has it all run out of your veins?
He asked “whom shall I fear? and Whom shall I be afraid?” David emphasizes those questions because with God on his side, he’s fearless and courageous; he’s afraid of nothing and no one. The Lord is his light and salvation. Light and salvation are used as a metaphor for God.
But that was not the God’s plans. God wanted to saved us, therefore, He had given us Jesus to shoulder all the burdens. Also, Noelle made a good point about how Jesus sought sinners as His disciples instead of perfect people. That no matter
“And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering but for Cain and his offering he had no regard.” (Genesis 4:4) This quote shows diction by repeating the words offering and regard. By repeating those two words, the author showed what sense of gratitude the Lord has for the two
However, when he saw the kids being tossed into the fire, he started to feel differently about God. “For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?”
He does this as a representation of people. Fear of embarrassment or rejection keeps us as people from expressing our feelings and views of the world and God, the “divine idea” of which we as people of the world represent brings us to shame.
He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the
8-12) Adam is indeed at fault and instead of simply accepting the blame he attempts to push it off on God himself, saying that He gave Adam the woman that fed him the fruit. Here Adam is doing anything he can to maintain his good standing with his Lord, even if it means throwing Eve under the proverbial bus.
Yet, he's right beside us, feeling our pain and freeing us from it. Some of us have
Jesus Christ's action was one of obedience, dying on the cross. With Adam's action, the result
day for God was different than what is associated with a day today. God perceived “time very differently-even thousands of years must pass quite quickly for him” (Kugel 49). God did not create the world in what we consider 6 days today, and Adam did die on the day he disobeyed God. The story of the original sin and the disobedience between Adam, Eve and God and their punishment teaches a valuable lesson that God’s promises are certain.
