Christian Virtues – Called To Godly Excellence
2 Peter 1:3. God calls all of us to have Christian virtues. Whether you know it or not, God has called all of us to glory and virtue. Christian virtues can be described as having a godly excellence, a godly goodness, or a godly righteousness. God's calling came to us through Jesus Christ. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, God will provide us all that we need in this world and in Heaven. He has the divine power to give us all thing that pertain unto life and godliness.
Christian Diligence – Keeping Diligence Over Your Heart
Proverbs 4:23. Christians must continually have diligence over their heart. Out of our human heart springs either good or evil. With Christian diligence based on faith, we can overcome the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life”). Faith enables us to surrender our trust completely to God. Our Christian diligence to do good (versus evil) is the ultimate exercise in our faith to show our love and trust of God.
Mothers, Both New and Old, Are Inseparable From Their Children
Genesis 3:20. Eve was the first mother. Her name means "life, living, life-spring". She is the mother of all of mankind. Without children, a mother is not a mother. The definition of a mother is defined as "a woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth". There are no degrees of motherhood. A new mother is as much of a mother as a mother that has had several children. Some mothers may be very inexperience, but they are still a mother.
The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ
John 11:25. A key part of Christian faith is the belief in the actual resurrection of Jesus. A resurrection where Jesus was in human form and he was brought back from death to live forever. Jesus' resurrection proves to us in no certain terms that God has complete power over death. If you believe that the resurrection of Jesus actually occurred, then it follows that you believe in His promise that all humans can have victory over death. You will believe that Jesus is the one way and that you can have eternal life.
Jesus, The One Way
John 14:6. Jesus was a God-man that walked on this Earth. He offers us salvation through His death and resurrection on the cross to whoever will believe in Him. This is why Jesus is the one way for all of us. He shows us by His life on Earth how to live. Through His death he took the punishment for our sin nature, our disobedience against God. By His resurrection He proved to us that we can defeat death. He only asks that we repent of our sins, accept Him as our savior, and accept Him as the Lord over our life.
Holy Spirit In Us and Godly Relationships - Definition Of Human Nature
Galatians 6:8. From a Christian perspective the definition of human nature cannot be explained adequately without explaining the human nature that is in right relationship with God. Our human nature may have the tendency to follow our sin nature, but that is not why God made us. God made us to worship Him. Jesus Christ gives us that opportunity to repent of our sin nature and be in right relationship with God (Romans 8:12-14, "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Sowing to the Flesh or to the Spirit – You Get What You Give
Galatians 6:8. God has created this world where you get what you give, but at the same time God makes the rewards, not ourselves. If we only sow and give to our flesh, we will only reap corruption. The fleshly things in life (food, possessions, sensual experiences, and so on) only bring satisfaction temporarily and quickly pass away. All fleshly things are only desirous temporarily because they quickly decay and corrupt eventually resulting in death. If we sow in the Spirit daily (give genuine love to God and our fellow man), we will reap eternal things and eventually eternal life.
The Birth Of A Born Again Christian
John 5:24. A person becomes a born again Christian when they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. You accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by hearing His word and accepting that you are a sinner, and you have been disobedient of God. As sinners we need salvation to save us from God’s wrath toward our sin and disobedience of Him. Because God also loves us, Jesus came to this Earth as a God-man to take the punishment for our sins and save us.
Definition of Christian Redemption – We Must Be Born Again Spiritually
1 Peter 1:23. The definition of Christian redemption includes being born again. Jesus paid the ransom and took on the punishment for our sin so that we can be saved. But we still have to accept this free gift that Jesus gave to us. We have to believe in Him and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. This is the only way that we will not perish in our own corruptible sins, but have everlasting life (John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”).
Definition of Redemption – Jesus’ Free Gift Of Eternal Life
Romans 6:23. If you think about it, a ransom is a free gift to the person being redeemed. In the Christian definition of redemption, the free gift of eternal life is the end result of our redemption. Jesus is the one that offers us the free gift of eternal life. The only reason that Jesus paid the price for our sin on the cross is because He loves us. He paid our ransom by offering the free gift of eternal life to all of mankind (Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”).
