Good Man Is Hard To Find Salvation

Incarnational Union soteriology conveys the holy work of our savior, Jesus Christ, through him becoming human to save the world from sin. God the Father begot the Son and then sent him to save the Lord 's people from themselves. The glorious Son had to become human, so that all humans could become God and be in eternal Union with the Trinity. He also had to die for our sins to show obedience to God, thus setting an example for all. Jesus is the ultimate example of a person, human and divine because as the following states, "There is no greater love than to lay down one 's life for one 's friends," (John 15:13, New Living Translation).

I think that Mary Rowlandson 's accounts did support Puritan beliefs. She quotes many scriptures throughout the reading. Among these is 2 Corinthians 12:9, which reads "And he said unto me, my Grace is sufficient for thee"(Perkins and Perkins, 120). This supports Puritan belief because their main goal was to save corrupted believers and non-believers. This scripture assures a person that his/her sins are taken care of by God 's Grace, and that encourages them to be saved and convert.

Hawthorne portrayed Dimmesdale ,a combine of sinner and saint, change by his hidden to show people the power of hidden sin. Hawthorne describe Dimmesdale as a young faithful prayer, that came to the new world and to save the people. In the eyes of the people, he is pointed by God as a saver and he will use his knowledge to serve people. In the eyes of the church, Dimmesdale’s knowledge is better than any priest in the town, as a reason of that, Dimmesdale earned the supreme

To have knowledge on what Jesus went through for us shows the amount of love He has bestowed upon us. I am so thankful that He would give His perfect life for us sinners whose righteousness is as filthy rags. The talk about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was prophesied all the way back to Old Testament days. God let people know that there would be a Savior that would come, and He would save us from our sins.

In John 13, Jesus teaches his various ways of love. From the start of washing His disciple’s feet, to the end telling His disciples to love one another. His teaching of equality in verse sixteen explains that one person may not be greater than the other regardless of title, proves that love should remain as love. One person cannot love or be blessed more than the other, for that brings envy and superiority and that is where love is lost. Jesus teaches us His way of love through the love of one another so that we show that we are His.

Through our suffering we become closer to God and He, in turns, relieves us of our suffering through showing us meaning. Jesus died for us, that was his meaning. No one wants to die for nothing. We all want to leave something behind, a legacy if you will. So is the meaning of life found in our

We are here on this earth to be a light in the darkness and show the world God. The best way to be that light is to pray the God through us is glorified. All too often we pray as a selfish child, God give me this or give me that. I have my pastor say that God is not our genie in the sky, but He is our loving and faithful Heavenly Father.

She decided to dress this way so that if her and her family were in an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once she was a lady. This is ironic as you finish the entire story because the family was in an

Paul tells us how all we need to worry about is faith. Forget substituting circumcision into the salvation equation because you are either all in or all out for Jesus. If we choose to live by the flesh, we will go to hell, but if we live by the spirit, we will inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21). This promise alone is enough to change the lives of the people of Galatia, but also everyone else who is able to hear Paul’s

For even as the case of John Proctor, God loves all, and God forgives

The second core belief is that “Christ’s Atonement allows mankind to be saved from their sins and return to live with God and their families forever” (Mormonism 101). This belief allowed the Saints to believe that God had a plan for all mankind that involved happiness. Yet all mankind makes mistakes and sins, Mormons’ themselves see this as a time to reflect and learn the right way so that progress can be made through God’s teachings. Through the grace of Christ, Mormons believed that their sins are completely washed away and that they can return to their families with no worries. The final belief of the core of The Church is “Christ’s original Church as described in the New Testament has been restored in modern times” (Mormonism 101).

Jesus tells us in the context of the whole passage that all have perpetrated (sinned), and we shouldn 't be so hasty to cast a stone (judge/condemn) others before taking an introspective look at ourselves and where we fall short. To foster this spirituality for incarnationally serving those on the margins is to "choose the way of Jesus, laying aside all the earthly resources that give us power - in order to be present to those we love" (pg. 97). Doing this, we humble ourselves and serve people like Madu as friends, since the textbook answer won 't make the impact necessary for change, but living it out, showing love and bestowing friendship upon them will be the example and the relationship they need that will cause a deep transformative impact. However, we mustn 't become calloused to the evil actions in these ambiguous situations, if we do, then the loving-correction needed to move past perpetration may never be accomplished. Jesus displays the forgiveness and the call to action beautifully "

Philippians 2:12-14 speaks about this spiritual co-operation between us and God, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing.” I love this scripture as it gives each of us some clear principles for living in Christ. You work out your own salvation. As salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and by obedience we work it out or live it out!

Introduction: As part of a prophetic community, we have come to realize that there is a clear distinction between someone who loves God and someone who lives like Jesus. A person who lives a holy lifestyle and seeks to do good to their neighbors, and loves God (of course), is a person that loves God. These kind of people are common, and really great to have around. By no means do I think they are bad people. Then there are the other set of people who are willing to live their lives sacrificially; their lives will actually mimic the life of Jesus.

An illustration of this occurs in the story when the grandmother refers to her generation as the generation in which everyone was always polite and essentially good. She explains in the car when she sees that June Star and John Wesley are being disrespectful to their native state. The grandmother does this to basically put herself on a pedestal to show that she is a respectable lady. Bailey 's mother, the grandmother also uses term 'good ' as a benefit to herself when the Misfit is getting ready to end her life. She uses this term to appeal to the Misfit 's emotions in order to live.
