ii) Those who believe in Christ become sons of God (John1:10, 12) and they will not be condemned (John3:16-18), the believers are entitled for eternal life. iii) INCARNATION: How Christ the Word became flesh/man and came to dwell among mankind. (John 10)Though many dispute the deity of Christ, it is the truth. God himself at Jesus baptism attested to Jesus as his only begotten son (Matthew 3:14, 15). IV) Justification Doctrine: The believer should learn and eternalize the message of redemption and justification.
Psalm 89:26 says, “He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation’” (NKJV). Many other religions acknowledge that Jesus was a good teacher, but they strip Him of His Deity. With the Word of God as our source, we can see that Jesus is just as much God as the Father and Spirit. In Phil. 2:5-11 Paul gives us a very clear picture of Jesus’ deity “Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage…” (NLT).
These, according to Jesus, are the two great commandments given for us to follow. God has given us directives to live by that have nothing to do with a church. Ecclesiastes 12:13 tells us “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man”. Do you see any mention here about any church in the “conclusion of the whole matter”? What do you think the “whole matter” is?
The father and the many bystanders question the power of God when even the disciples cannot help the boy. This leads Jesus to utter the aforementioned quote about the importance of having faith. This proves that Jesus believes that anyone can be saved, if he has faith in God. This could even extend to the rich man. If the rich man had faith in God, he too could be saved.
(1 Cor 2:10-11) In the Old Testament, God spoke through prophets and leaders of his people, but in the last days has revealed himself by his Son (2 Pt 2:20-21; Heb 1:1-2). The Spirit has the role of glorifying God and pointing to Jesus (Jn 16:14). It is always the Spirit’s role to stir our hearts that we will gaze more fully on Jesus and God the Father. He always makes little of himself but brings to our minds the words of Jesus. John puts it this way as he reports Jesus’ words: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you“ (Jn 14:26 unless otherwise stated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the English Standard Version).
Introduction/Thesis A Biblical Worldview is your view of the world through a biblical perspective. Worldviews are very important because they influence everything you do and every decision you make. That is why it’s important to know your worldview and to make sure it is in line with God’s word. It is also important to know your worldview because it affects your witness to others about God’s salvation. In Romans 1-8 Paul gives you some information that will help build a foundation for a biblical worldview.
In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus Christ suffered harsh death, atoning for the people’s sins. The burden of the sins was bravely felt by Jesus, who did not step back from taking the ownership of atoning all sins.As written in What is the Atonement of Jesus Christ? Why was it necessary for Jesus Christ to sacrifice his life?, ” The Savior tells us:” For behold, I… have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer… even as I.”(Doctrine and Covenants 19:16-17)”.Atonement symbolizes a new thought process and a change in priorities about the truth, and turns one’s soul to God. Through the ultimate power of atonement, one wishes for goodness to give rise to a change in heart, a desire to quit evil and turn good. The reason for god not forgiving one for a sin without atonement is that god’s character of perfection is paradoxical.
They believed that there will be a messiah who will save them from the suffering. They believed that Jesus was the messiah and the son of God.Jesus was a Jew who lived in a period of human suffering. He heal the sick and spread his teachings about God. Jesus believed that the cause of human suffering is due to one's sin, and people can earn salvation through faith in God. The first followers of Jesus were his twelve disciples.
The Bible also says that when we violate those absolute, we are personally responsible for all action. Humanism morality concentrates on ways people can lead cheerful and practical lives. It places that individuals are equipped for being moral and good without religion or God, it neither accept people to be inherently bad or naturally great. In conclusion Humanism and Christian worldview are very different. Humanism stresses human esteem, reason, and individual self-esteem regardless of anything else.
Then, a deep conviction came over me. I repented and dedicated my life to Christ. After this experience, I began to grow a deep hunger for the Bible. Little did I know how much I would change from this deep hunger. The Word of God
