Christian Vs. Child Of God

The author uses these to enhance our understanding, on a more personal level, of the word redemption, and later, the impact it would have on the life of a faithful Christian when dealt by the hand of God.

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.”

Within the book You Lost Me by David Kinnaman, the author discusses why young Christians are leaving the church and rethinking faith. He gives us an overview of the trends within the mosaic generation. Through this overview, we as student ministers can better understand the generation in which we are ministering to. With this understanding, we can reach these students and bring them back to their home, that is the Church. In this report, I will discuss the book by chapter and finish with my reflection.

Being a Christian is great. You have God; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You have all three behind you and there for you no matter what. You can always count on God, no matter what you do as God forgives you and your sins. God is good. God gives Christians life after death; eternal life. (Kingsley, Charles, 2004) All you have to do is believe, have faith, trust, and love god. God is love. According to the Christian worldview, one gains eternal life by believing that Jesus died for our sins. We have to believe in God and trust and ask for forgiveness for our sins. We have to let God in our lives, talk to God every day. I have to use John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life," as bible verse that supports this because I remember this verse perfectly from going to Sunday School and Bible School as a child. The thing that could be confusing or troublesome is not actually seeing God as a person, as a physically human being. We are supposed to believe that God is there for us, but we never see him. This may be confusing to some. Also we are never told about Jesus’s childhood. He is just there, born to an unmarried mother and father from a rather backwater town in Palestine and an embarrassment to his family. (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 5) Yet we are supposed to be married before children and so on. I can see where this would be confusing to some Christians. You teach and preach it one way, but Jesus’s life was not that way? Also according to the textbook, when did Satan exactly become evil? (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 4) Christianity could influence one’s thinking and behavior because if they live a Godly life, they will be more forgiving, faithful, and loving. When I think of “Church People” or Christian’s, I think friendly and always there for you. As you become a Christian you put yourself out there for people, you become more personable

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, a Christian is somebody who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ. As spoken of in The Holy Bible, Christ was born 2000 years ago of a virgin mother. In his ministry, he taught that he was the foretold Messiah of the Old Testament. While on the earth, he performed the Atonement, enabling all people to overcome their sins. For his

Tim Stewart, creator of the Dictionary of Christianese website, in his article “Missionary Kid (MK)” (2013), argues that missionary kids can either be little devils or precious angles, but either way they have a unique and diverse upbringing. He supports this claim by first defining a good MK as someone who practices what the bible teaches (par. 1), then by declaring the bad stereotype of the MK who falters under the pressure and becomes a rebel or troublemaker (par. 2), finally by showing that MKs grow up surrounded by a different culture than their parent’s, which provides many beneficial circumstances for learning (par. 3-6), while also cultivating issues when returning “home”. Steward’s purpose in writing this is to educate Christians about

Over the years, I have learned that a Christian is one who has a sure and great hope that of heaven. We know that we will get to heaven, no matter how much we still

My dad used to tell me all the time that we are all a work in progress. At the time I didn’t know exactly know what he meant. As years have passed on and my relationship with Christ matured, I now know what he meant. We as children of God can never be perfect, but what we can do is strive to be like Christ, this is what the definition of a Christian is, “Christ like”. I try to share the good news of Jesus, and when I do I like to talk to people about God’s Grace and through his son Jesus there is no Condemnation.

Belonging to multiple normative groups increases the amount of privilege that an individual is granted (Black & Stone, 2005). A white person will have privileges such as employment opportunity, education, marriage etc. A white male will have additional privileges of higher pay, more coveted positions, higher education, and more opportunities to own a home. A white Christian would have additional privileges to practice their religion freely with friends who have the same values.

Christianity is the world’s largest religion, and the religion, which defines my personal belief system. At the heart of Christianity is Jesus Christ: my personal Savior, and it is His teachings and sacrifice, which is the foundation of “Christianity.” To begin, it is necessary to outline my beliefs as a Christian, since there are many conflicting Christian doctrines in contemporary society. My creed is the belief in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As the Bible teaches, God is three personalities within in One Spiritual Being. Furthermore, I believe the God created the world as put forth in the Genesis account, and it was created in a perfect state and without sin. Near the end of His creation process, God created man in His image, He set him apart, and gave him dominion of all other living creatures. Sin and death only entered into to the

Who am I? I am a child of God, a fellow heiress of Christ, created in “the image and likeness of God” (NLT, Genesis, 1:26). Not only by physical traits, the Homo sapiens species were formed with a living soul and spirit capable of developing a personal and spiritual relationship (John 4:24). Descendants of Adam and Eve, we were born with a sinful nature by their transgressions. (I Tim 2:13-14).

God expects us to live in likeness of him; however we are still accountable and will be held responsible for our actions and decisions. We must hear God’s word, believe, repent (turn from which that is wrong), confess and be baptized in order to be saved. "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come," (2 Cor. 5:17). This means that God actually lives in the person and the Christian then experiences a true and living relationship with God. In being a Christian you belong to Christ; you are saved through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately many people call themselves a Christian and do not have a personal relationship with Christ. The bible makes reference to this in (Revelation 3:1-6).

As a parent I can recall the birth of my children. As the child gets older you begin to teach them Godly principles that will help them live the right way. This is done so when they become an adult they will not stray away from the teachings. After God created Adam and Eve they were given instructions to follow to help keep them grounded to God. As a result of not following the instructions, sin was introduced to the world. Sin became the downfall for human kind but Jesus Christ was sent to become our salvation by freeing us from sin. We will look at what sin is and how the blood of the Lamb can deliver us from sin through salvation.
