Examples Of Christianity In Romans 1-11

God should cloath us so every one knows by what we do we are followers of him. He says, "affections, judgement, conscience, memory" these are characteristics that we should want to be cloathed in. We should let our actions and words shine for gods glory according to Taylor. Taylor says, " my wages with glory and thee glorify". He implies that what we do should be glorious and if it is we will be glorified. The product is finally complete, he says, " then mine apparel". It has gone from the process of making a robe to the robe actually being done. He says, " mine apparel shall display before yee" which means we will stand before Christ and show ourselves to him. We are ready for eternal glory, he says, " I am cloathed in holy robes for glory". We are gonna live in heaven and wear holy

“Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit” (King 18). America’s history of hate towards individuals of color has transcended for centuries when finally, an African American minster felt it was enough and had to do something about this social injustice. In the book Strength to Love, by Martin Luther King Jr., it presents a collection of sermons where he hopes to preach the social gospel by emphasizing religious values such as forgiveness to better the nation and the well-being of others. With the combination of Christian teachings and social consciousness, King promotes courage and love as the ultimate forces in combating the evils of the world

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” When Martin Luther King, Jr. said this quote and many others including, “The time is always right to do what is right”, he was trying to get his point across that in order to make the right steps towards equality, you need love, not hate.

"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." (Matthew 5:15 NIV)

The Jews are stumbling in the night because they do not see the light, because I am the light of the world I must be the light to them while I am here so they can stop stumbling.

The light of the world, the savior is here with teaching and guidance and we’ll have no fear. He brings a message, the word from above and that message is simple, the message is love. His light shines forever so clear and bright. Let us celebrate the infant Jesus now and forever.

Following His discussion of behaviors that one needs to possess for life in the kingdom, Jesus begins talking about the influence of those within the kingdom of God. One of the principles the Bible repeatedly stresses is the absolute obligation for His people to show an example to others. The children of Israel had various laws that made them separate and unique from the people around them (cf. Deut. 14:2, 26:18). Providing a purpose behind this separation and uniqueness, God intends for the idolaters and evil people around them will see their goodness (cf. Deut. 4:6 - 8). Similarly, God expects His people today to present an example to the outside world.

This is why Paul encourages us to "put on Jesus Christ" The theme of our clothing ourselves with Jesus runs throughout Paul's writings. It occurs several times. I can understand why Paul loved this imagery. Paul calls us to wrap ourselves up in Jesus. To allow Jesus to drape himself over everything that we are. That's different than clothing oneself with religion. It means to clothe yourself in a relationship with Jesus. to allow that relationship to permeate everything that we are.

I really enjoyed your final statement, “the general principle is that Christ can be honored despite the outward circumstances that effect his followers.” When I read this passage, I get inspired to live a life that lines up with the principles; however, when I get on the highway… my “nature” appears and I fail. Reading it and living it are two different stories. I believe that Paul is also pointing out love. Not only does he tell them to persist in their faith during trials, but also in love by living “…your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” If Paul was able to point to Christ for them to base their life patterns from, they knew that Christ died for them out of love. He is providing an example in two ways, by suffering

These teachings apply to my life as this chapter showed that I am given a charge to follow and glorify Christ. Instead of forcing

To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partake of it. In doing so, Paul states, “I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be

A light is to shine bright. To be an irresistible force that shines through the nothingness of darkness every time. Light has the power to illuminate and expose. Jesus is saying that we are to live a life that illuminates the truth of who He is, through the everyday stuff of life. We are to draw people to Him, the source of all truth, and love and help people come into the light. Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life” (John 8:12, NLT). Salt and light understand what the real issues are from an eternal perspective. They want their

I believe the light is Jesus and believers must continue to stay focus on the greater prize and that is making in to heaven. Christianity can be a difficult road to travel and many have gone astray because of the many nuisances that one may face. The writer talks about the glorious destination and I believe that is heaven. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people and I believe one must stay diligent on their journey until the end.

In Ephesians 5:8, Paul states that believers were once in darkness, but now have the light of the Lord, similar in John 1:5 that tells us that, "The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." Again, Jesus is, "the true light that gives light to every man."

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; Light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; Love can do that” Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words and have has had an impact on me for my entire life. How I interpret this quote is when we see hate crimes occur throughout the world we should fight hate with love and not retaliate with more hatred. When a hate crime occurs it not only has an impact on the people involved with the incident but, it effects society. Hate crimes can develop a fear among people and a paranoia towards groups of people. Hate crimes create negative feelings toward groups of people. Hate crimes can also cause physical and emotional pain. Physical pain by they attempt to harm other people by the hate crime offenders. Emotional
