Christ Most Beloved:
To remain Beloved of Christ, is to be faithful and obedient to God the Father.
The Holy Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. {Romans, 3:-23}
Repentance is the only way that will keep us on track, and set us aligned with the Holy Spirit.
To repent from sin, is a complete change in behaviors that are detrimental to our Salvational Race.
The individuals must have been above the temptation of allowing the will of the flesh, to suppress the will of God in his/her life.
A repentant mind reflects a completely changed in attitude.
John, 8:- 10-11, Jesus said, "Go and sin no more."
In conclusion: The day of reckoning is closer than envisaged.
Today is the day of Salvation, Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
When each man or woman is given birth to this world by his or her mother, he or she has inherited the trait of sinfulness from the atrocity committed by Adam and Eve, the first predecessors to mankind on Earth. Their souls have been stained with the darkness of Hell, and their DNAs have been altered by the hand of Satan. Although such monstrous betrayal and contravention of God’s law are incendiary to Him, God follows, in contrast to the sinners, the beat of his pure heart towards humans’ sakes. Eventually, Jesus was sent to this world in the retrospect as a noble savior, who selflessly accepted to be persecuted and deceased for the deliverance of men from the Earth fouled by Lucifer. Instead of endeavoring to be perfectly moral, Christians
“I’d set out to tell her I was sorry about dinner. But I know that my apology runs much deeper. That I’m ashamed I never tried to help her in the woods. That I let the Capitol kill the boy and mutilate her without lifting a finger.”(Hunger Games, p85)
Across the planet earth, there are some 196 sovereign countries that each have their own independent ways of ruling the people of their land. Whether it be a monarch, a dictator, or a president, no one in the world beckons such a large power as the President of the United States. This man or woman is in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world, and that person makes vital decisions daily that could change the fate of their nation they lead so graciously. Through 44 presidents, the United States has seen its share of wars, problems, fights, and scandals. Whether international, continental, or national, these 44 men have gotten through the toughest of times to lead the nation toward prosperous times and even more prosperous futures. One of these presidents, though, has caused what has come to be known as one of the biggest scandals to ever rock a presidency to its core. Richard Nixon was an adored man, but when he got caught trying to secure success for his campaign, it ended disastrously for him
The townspeople think that wearing that scarlet letter wasn't a harsh enough punishment. They were quick to judge and began shaming her. "... she had..to encounter the stings and venomous stabs of the public contumely... in every variety of insults..."(Scarlet Letter, 63). Some women in the crowd began to discuss Hester Prynee's punishment and began calling her names like a "malefactress", a female criminal. Even the "gossips" condemn her and felt strongly that wearing the letter "A" upon her chest wasn't harsh enough. One of the gossips said her punishment "At the very least, they should have put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne's forehead." (Scarlet Letter, 55). Other women said that she could hide the mark but the sin will always
Repentance is a concept of turning away from sin, which paves the way to salvation and thus eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Most denominations have the belief that one renounces from sin and aims to live a life according to the work of the Holy Spirit, with the exception of Baptist and Pentecostal who view Baptism as the complete submission to the will of God. Salvation is the means to eternal life in the Kingdom of God, and thus baptism becomes a meaning of initiating into the Christian community. “Forgive anyone who offends you” (Colossians 3) suggest that baptised individuals need to forgive those who offend them, as
It is a change of mind and heart. It gives you a chance to free yourself from all bad and start over. once you acknowledge your mistakes and sins and you accept them is the best time to ask for repentance. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments. There is an evil power that fights with you to make you think you cannot repent,Satan, but he should not have that kind of power over you. Like everything else there is requirements, and all repentance will be accepted if all the requirements are meet. the sooner you repent after you have sinned the sooner you start your way back on the right path. If you delay repentance, you may lose blessings, opportunities, and spiritual guidance. You may also become further entangled in sinful behavior, making it more difficult to find your way
The act of forgiveness may appear to be a simple task. Well, it is not.
At one point in time, everyone lived as a sinner. But God chose to save them through grace. Believers should respond in good works.
Sin has become so overlooked by humanity, that the world has taken the Bible and made it a storybook. They have minimized the effect of sin with false beliefs of Jesus forgiving them even when they refuse to repent or to accept Him. Some have used the Genesis account of sin as a fable, while others have tried to eliminate the Savior Jesus’ part in the saving process. They have not even recognized the need for Jesus who sits beside the Father asking for our
After a Christian had sinned that person had the opportunity to be redeemed for their sin. Redemption is actually very clear and easy to define. When a Christian sinned and wanted God's forgiveness they had to go before God, by praying to him, and ask him to cleanse them and forgive them of their sin. When God hears the person asking for forgiveness, God will answer their cry to him and cleanse them. When God cleanses a person it is almost like the sin was never committed in the first place. When God sent his son Jesus into the world he told Jesus that he would
Not only have we been cleansed of our sins and the guilt thereof, we have also "died to sin" and "to the Law" with Christ; Romans 6-7; Galatians 2:19-20; Galatians 6:14-15. We cannot live any longer in sin and we cannot live any longer under the Law, which is the strength of sin; 1 Corinthians 15:56. We are to "Walk in the Spirit" and "according to the Spirit" and it is by the Spirit that we "put to death the deeds of the body"—which (contrary to the dialectic reasoning)obviously includes the feelings and desires in back of the deeds; Romans 8; Galatians 5:16-26; Colossians 1:3-29; Colossians 2; 3:1-17; James
II. Main Point 2. God tells us in 1 John 1: 9“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” And again in 2 Corinthians 5:17“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”
Once we recognize God’s true love for us and see the need of looking to Christ to change our hearts rather than trying to do it on our own, we see our need of repentance, which involves a change of direction, turning our back on previous intentions and actions, and seeking new direction in life. Instead of making excuses, blaming circumstances or others, repentance means taking full responsibility. King David, after committing murder and adultery appealed to Christ: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalms 51:10). He accepted his guilt and asked for a new direction – from Christ.
Time and events as we know have been tracked by B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (in the year of our Lord). In the Old Testament, prophecies point to the coming of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus came to earth, died and rose again. There are many questions to be answered about Jesus. Who is He? What did he do while he was alive? What was Jesus called? The answers to these questions are very clear.
The definition of Redemption from Strongs Greek Hebrew Dictionary is from a compound of (apo) and (Lutron); (the act) ransom in full, i.e. (figurative) riddance, or (specifically) Christian salvation:- deliverance, redemption. (Strong) In Christianity, redemption is given through the blood of Christ. His blood that was shed when he died on the cross for our sins. Jesus paid our ransom in full so that we didn’t have too. “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” Romans 3:24. Without that merciful selfless act, we would be found guilty in the eyes of the Lord. He has delivered us from our sins, wiped them away, and we are washed in His blood. It was also His grace that humbled him to take our place on that cross. “We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all
