Difference Between God And Man 's Love For God

I have always struggled with understanding the ravishing love of God. Growing up, I constantly struggled with two demons: anxiety and depression. In isolation, everything was fine, I felt safe. As soon as something pushed me from the safety of solitude, Anxiety came. He nuzzled his dark face between my shoulder and neck. He forced my face onto his, so that my ear pressed painfully against his gray lips, the sound from his voice blocking out all other voices, including God’s.

All of this stems from a love for God that is to be a sacrificial love, an unconditional love. A love that puts God’s agenda ahead of his own. It is a love for

John Paul II, he touches on this point, “In a special way, believers in Christ must defend and promote this right, aware as they are of the wonderful truth recalled by the Second Vatican Council: ‘By his incarnation the Son of God has united himself in some fashion with every human being’ This saving event reveals to humanity not only the boundless love of God who ‘so loved the world that he gave his only Son’ (Jn 3:16), but also the incomparable value of every human person” (Evangelium Vitae).

Pentecost is known as the birthday of the church as it marks the beginning of fearless Christian pursuit to spread the Good News of salvation of Jesus in 33AD. After Jesus’ death, disciples had the fear of being alone in the battle to spread the message of Jesus. This is one obstacle that is apparent of being one of the largest barriers in the church’s development. On the day of Pentecost, Jesus’ disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit in the form of a lingering light above their heads, after they gathered Jerusalem. This Holy Spirit allowed them to speak

This paper will examine the books of Corinthians and the universal truth of love in the New Testament. Corinthians One and Two were written to the church at Corinth and deal with the need to recognize and put sin out of our lives.(Corinthians)

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” In Paul’s response to Christ’s love and being conquerors through Christ Jesus men are to abide faithfully in God’s love who has promised to give a complete triumph over sin, death, hell and not leaving one enemy unsubdued. It is not our own doings and inventions; it is through Christ Jesus who first loved us that we are more than conquerors.

We hear a lot more teaching and preaching about human love than we do about God's love - the love of God for us. You see, most that is preached is religion - instruction as to how to do good (including loving God and others), and refraining from doing bad.

Journal 2 The Covenants and My Personal Journey Reflection of the seven Biblical covenants reveal God's love for His people and contain many relevant aspects to my personal journey and perspective today. Most apparent is the relevance of the New Covenant, displaying God's grace through the gift of salvation and forgiveness for our sins, which has been a huge aspect that guides me throughout my entire life. The New Covenant provides us with the opportunity to know Jesus, obey God, and live for eternity with God. When examining the covenants God made with His people, His love is seen in the way He adapts them from the Edenic covenant through the New Covenant, covering us with grace when we, as a people, did not hold up our end of the covenants.

Pentecost began as and remains one of the major holidays on the Jewish calendar that occurs 50 days after Passover. The word Pentecost literally means "50th or 50th day." For Jews, Pentecost was the time when they celebrated the first harvest of the agricultural year. It was a time when they gave thanks to God for what the land had produced and for what their labor had yielded. 3.

The verse that I choose was 1 Peter 4:16 “However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.” The phase, “but praise God that you bear that name” stood out to me the first time that I read it. A lot of time people in this world will call us names or treat us differently because we are Christians but here God is reminding what it means to be following Christ. We should be grateful for how Jesus came to earth to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. We also need to be representations of Christ to the world since we are calling ourselves followers of him by saying that we are Christians.

My personal general theology is based on the scripture John 3:16, “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.” This has always impacted the way that I have talked about God to others. I’ve spoken about God in a manner of love because He loves us enough to give His only begotten son for our salvation. God loves us enough to make our process toward salvation easier by allowing our requirement to merely believe in Him. God loves us enough to allow our souls not to perish, if we believe in Him. God’s love is the foundation of my personal theology. In this project I will cover areas that relate to God’s love for us. The topics

Paul’s letter to the Roman church has absolutely challenged the Jewish way of thinking that has existed for over 2000 years before the life, death, and resurrection of

Paul, having figuratively died and rose again with Christ, demonstrates a profound change in his outlook. Armed with a transformed mindset, the once vitriolic man who had been possessed by the demonic “Us vs. Them” mentality, goes on to champion unity and equality -- “In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal” (Gal. 3:28; The Message). He then implores fellow Christians to defy conformity, exhorting them to be transformed by gauging their values against the credo that holds ultimate significance -- the will of God, which Micah defines as acting justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God (Rom 12:2; Micah 6:8).

Unlike any other book in the world, the Bible is the only one to offer specific predictions hundreds of years in advance that were literally fulfilled. 3. The Miraculous Confirmation of the Biblical Witnesses. The biblical prophets claimed to receive their message from God. 4. The Uniqueness of the Biblical Message. Romans 6:23 encapsulates the uniqueness of the biblical message: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." 5. The Testimony of the Transforming Power of the Bible. "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12).

God develops many special relationships with His people throughout the Old Testament. Another word to describe the relationship between God and his people is covenant. The word covenant goes into the details of the relationship. Within the five books of the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), Historical books, Poetical books, and the Prophet books, one may pick up on the relationships being developed between God and humanity. God has an unconditional love for His people; He is always faithful to them. On the other hand, humanity has more of a conditional relationship with God. Humanity continuously falls short, making the love seem “conditional,” but are given a choice to either follow God into a relationship and receive love and benefits of the covenant or not. “No child of the covenant who presents to Him a faithless and insincere heart shall be included in its blessings.” Going off the idea of love being unconditional and conditional, this paper focuses on how the Old Testament is about God, humanity and their relationship.
