For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:17 Why is the world so condemning? As the sons’ of man we are bound to be condemned to the gates of Hell, but God’s mercy to send his only son so that we may have eternal life if we believe in him is amazing. We all have fallen short of eternal life and deserve to perish.
The bible says, after they heard this, they fell down and died. Because of this event, Great fear has seized the whole church and all who heard about it.

He sees life as a burden or pain, which explains why he says many Christians were “being liberated from the world. ”1 Again he reassures himself that he has the correct set of beliefs by expressing that only Christians, like himself, are able to enjoy the afterlife. St. Cyprian also saw society breaking down as a test to see who would make the morally correct decision especially when it’s the absolute least convenient time.
After he told the preacher word spread and people thought he lied about it. He was hated and persecuted for saying that he had saw a vision. Even though he could have gave up. He knew in his heart it said, “Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I
Therefore, people that profess to be “good” also break God’s law and have hard and unrepentant hearts, we can see In book of Romans 2:1-5. Because of the way they are doing, they brought condemnation and judged to all men. So who can save them from condemnation and judgement? How can they have a salvation? Therefore, Paul told that the only way to save them from condemnation is to have faith in Jesus Christ, that’s reason why, he wasn’t ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it’s the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, Romans 1:16.
He is an antagonist of the story. He is deeply plagued by his consciousness about his immoral affair with Hester. He feels guilty because he is keeping the truth from his congregation and letting Hester suffer alone. He is a round character who is able to change in the end.

In the Bible we read that God created each one of us in his own image (Gen 1:27), which carries incredible value towards humans. God not only created us but also loves us unconditionally and we need to channel that love towards our neighbors and children. Jesus was very sensitive towards children and spoke harsh words to anyone who misguided little children “ But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” The Bible talks about how parents should treat their children with love and care (Ephesians 6:4, Colossians 3:21).
First off I would talk about how he was important to me. Jesus is the son of God. He is our Lord and Savior. He sacrificed himself so that we not eternally damned to hell and we can one day live with God in eternal happiness in heaven.
God wanted his people to be happy forever, he wanted to erase the sin of the first human beings and all who came after them. This is God’s plan of salvation, and the path he walks with us is called salvation history. Through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, God made a new and promising covenant with his people that from that moment on, it
[8] To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, [9] and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, Paul was chosen by God. His Job was to bring what God had shown him and make it known to everyone. I believe that Paul would reflect on his past and remember that he was only deserving of God’s wrath. He believes that he was not wordy to be a Child of God, and he was just grateful that he was save, but more grateful to be called and apostle. We are taught that Apostle speaks for God so when we read the book of Ephesians we are reading God’s words.
