Christian Gospel Research Paper

29-30- “That 's what happens when we meet Jesus and are amazed by him: we go to tell others, including those who have turned against us.” This is how the gospel is spread, through people willingly and joyfully telling others

Some of the reasons intellectually that people reject the gospel is that they are not understanding or don’t want to understand the power that comes behind the word. The world develops minds that think and breathe social media, television and other thing that separates us from the gospel. Other reasons is that we are not discipline enough in our faith to want to learn the real truth behind the gospel. The gospel tells us everything that God wants and have instore for us, until we get the discipline to read and learn we as people will never know its meaning to make our lives better.

As I approach the end of my high school career, I start thinking if I am prepared and ready to face the next step in my life. College is known to test a man’s responsibility in order to prepare him to face the world alone. Jesuit High School has changed my life throughout the years I have attended the school. Jesuit has prepared me for college and taught me how to become a more responsible man. When I was thinking of where I should apply to high school, Jesuit was not my first option; however, coming from a family of Jesuit alumni, I knew it was the only school for me. Throughout my earlier years at Jesuit, I struggled and was miserable due to the overwhelming work and rules I was required to follow. However, I soon realized what the school was about in its mission in turning its students into men for others. I have found that Jesuit High School has transformed me educationally, has made me a more responsible man, and has taught me to be a man for others.

Today I am going to talk a little bit about the Christian Worldview. Religion can be a highly debated subject depending on who you talk to and the environment you are in. With so many different types of religion in the world today it can get confusing where you may fit in. In this paper I will be exploring some of the important elements of one of the more well known religions in the Christian Worldview to help you to understand why they believe what they believe.

The word “Christian” has been used extremely, and in some cases strangely, for over 2000 years. Historically, it was born in the ancient city of Antioch. There, according to Acts 11:26, “the disciples were first called Christians” (ESV). Since that first-century usage, “Christian” has defined religious groups & sects, armies, athletic endeavors, political parties, and a host of entities and ideas which probably would make those original disciples shake their heads in disbelief. “The Christian Vegetarian Association? Wouldn’t have dreamt it,” Peter could have told Paul, if they both spoke English.

There are all sorts of variations around this theme of being too poor to help. Most of us have had times in our lives when money was tight, and giving to the Lord was difficult and a real sacrifice. Invariably though, we can find enough for some of the other things that are not essential—it’s usually a matter of priority and whether we value what the Lord has done for us enough to make giving work.

Non gospel preachers talk a lot about human love. They talk a lot about our love for God, and our love for others. They don't talk much about Bible love, or how God's love empowers us to love others.

I was first introduced to Jesus Christ through several Korean missionaries from America, who came to my orphanage in Russia one day. A bright green church, which is my favorite color to this day, was implanted right behind my orphanage and the people of the church went around inviting and encouraging people to join them on Sunday mornings. We were told there would be donuts and other food. Of course that would lure any orphan right off the bat. I among other children, joined the church on Sunday mornings. Maybe it was simply the donuts, but I felt accepted right away. Although I was very fond of the things we were told and taught, they appeared to be only stories to me. The stories did not become an entity or reached my heart until after I got adopted into a Christian family three years later.

The Gospels of Jesus tell a story that is a unified story over the four gospels. Each of the four writers had their own point of view that they were writing from. Just a four journalists covering an important story will write from their own point of view

The Bible is full of narratives and accounts which point to our need for a savior and God meeting that need through Jesus Christ. The New Testament begins with four accounts of Christ's life; same person, same life, somewhat different stories. In general, it seems as though the church looks at all the gospels as a whole, treating each gospel as pieces of a puzzle that give us a full picture of Jesus’s time here on earth. However, if we look at it from the perspective of the people who would be reading these accounts or from the perspective of the authors our view might be a little different. Each account of Christ’s life has specific choices made by the author to guide our understanding and have an effect on how we read the text. One relatively

Early Christianity had a lot to do with the transformation of Rome and posed a challenge to the Roman Empire. Christians were known as the enemy of Rome, primarily because they refused to worship the emperors as the embodiment of Rome’s Gods meaning they were denying his divinity and authority. The one whom the Christians worshiped had been declared a criminal, was tried and put to death the roman state.

The Progression from spirituals to “Black” Gospel Music Many people would refer to gospel music as religious songs or songs regarding to life as a Christian. Gospel music varies, which gives an alternative to Christian music with a mix of secular music. With it being many styles of Christian music, the performance, the lyrics, instruments and the formation, gives gospel music different meanings. To most, gospel is simply thanks and praise and worship to the Lord.

After the crucifixion and rising of Jesus, the small group of disciples started going around and preaching about the gospel and the love of Jesus Christ throughout the territory. It only took a small group of men to spread the word of God throughout the world and the gospel message was simple: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Many people believe that this is a fairytale because scientists cannot find true evidence of Gods bones in a tomb. People today need to see in order to believe but the apostles have hope and they want to spread it: "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." (Corinthians 15:14) But the spreading of faith was a great risk for these believers.

The exclusivity of the gospel is to be preached in this age of plurality. Because of the exclusivity of the gospel, Christians are seen as narrow-minded or intolerant. People say there are many ways to God, and if you believe what you think is true that will be marked by going to heaven. How can Christians say, then, that Jesus Christ is the only way by which one can go to heaven? Jesus made it clear when He said there are only two religious paths: The broad way of works salvation that leads to eternal damnation, and the narrow way which is by faith alone in Christ alone that leads to eternal life (Matt. 7:13-14). Each person is one road or the other.

Too many Christians walk through life as if the Gospel is not true. When we sin, we rightly feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. And rather than boldly coming before the throne of grace in our time of need, we cower and shrink
