relationship with God. Romans chapter one to eight shows the aspects of those areas: God so loved human beings that He reveals Himself through natural world that people could know Him; true human identity can be discovered by seeing God’s image within human beings, and to do so, Jesus need to justify, sanctify, and glorify them; the relationship between God and human beings were broken due to a sin, but through God’s unconditional love, whoever lives in Jesus will not be separated from God again. In the
essence and reality of God in his deepest inner life. The trinity is the highest thing that the human brain can contemplate. The doctrine of the trinity is one of the most mysterious theologies in the Christian faith and it is the heart and soul of its teachings. In the trinity there is one true God but three persons. The father, son, and holy spirit. There are misconceptions or heresies going against this belief that there is one God with three masks or modes in which god reveals himself. In the
being could powerful to not only manipulate our senses, but to cast doubt over other things such as mathematics.Thus, he renders himself into a state of complete uncertainty and denial of all known existence, since he cannot be certain that this deceiver does not exist. Any understanding or knowledge that there is could simply be an illusion or false input. Later, Descartes refutes the existence of such a being. Instead, he puts forth the assumption of a merciful God. His argument against the existence
Christian lives. The Bible is the flawless and inerrant word of God. He spoke through the chosen authors the words of the Bible. Through the Scriptures, God reveals his character and revelation. The Bible has authority since it is ultimately from God. The Bible is the inerrant and inspired word of God that holds authority. The Bible has the power to give commands and demand obedience. This authority is both inherent and given by God. God is the highest authority and “He is his own authority, for there
As a rule of thumb, is worth to establish that the Bible is the core of true wisdom. Another source is worldly wisdom found in our selfish ambition to succeed in life at all costs in order to achieve our final goals; in this case to conquer happiness. To illustrate worldly wisdom, history speaks of a man who was born on July 356 BC of a royal family. Who looked at closely his life and thought of himself; if only he was the leader of his army he would be happy in life, and he fulfilled his dream;
assumptions about salvation and from the commandments of the Old Testament. To Luther, God alone could grant salvation. Despite this freedom, Christians still had to obey earthly laws. The differences of spiritual and temporal freedom seemed contradictory but for Luther it was clear that faith would free the Christian soul. Luther defined freedom for a Christian as freedom through faith. Salvation was granted by God alone. However their flesh was still bound by temporal laws on earth because it did

The main focus of going to church should be to worship God and our worship must be genuine for God. God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Now, how can anyone worship God in spirit and in truth; while attending church with their mind on what someone may be wearing or with their mind on the ball game
What is the true Faith? The true nature of faith “Hebrews 11:1” It is like building a foundation on the basis of God word constructing a house. We don’t build a foundation for a house, then destroy it; we keep building on it. “God’s word”. And keep the faith “Romans 1:17” God has instructed us to live by faith. Faith is given to us by GOD and put in our hearts for it to grow “Romans 12:3.” We receive God as our first Faith, and secondly, faith is confessing
even without empirical evidence of a God, wagering for the existence of God will maximize our happiness. Through his wager, one can use simple reasoning to understand that believing in a God which you cannot see may still be the most logical option to live your life. Pascal states that because there is no evidence that a God exists, nor is there any evidence that no God exists, it is entirely possible that a God exists. Wagering for the existence of an almighty God will either bring you eternal life
“Deity is defined as the essential nature or condition of being a god; divinity” . The deity of Christ means that He is God Almighty. The New Testament clearly presents Christ as God. The names applied to Christ in the New Testament are such that they could properly be applied only to one who is God. For example, Jesus is called God in the phrase "looking for the blessed hope of and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus.” Titus 2:13; compare with John 1:1, Hebrews 1:8, Romans
