“Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
Though mankind has a God-given free will giving him a choice, the Holy spirit draws all men to Christ, excluding none, but does not violate the gift of his will by forcing him to receive salvation by grace through faith (John 12:32; Ephesians 2:8,9). Man can reject His gracious gift of eternal everlasting life (John3:15,16). Christ died to make salvation possible for all who believe, but His blood cleanseth only those who are saved. The drawing

is through the Holy Spirit (John 6:63). Once a sinner comes to God for salvation, He secures them in His hand and no man is able to take them out of the Father's hand (John 10:29). God then gives them to Christ who saves (John 6:37). When Christ saves He gives eternal life, no man can take them out of His hand, and He will in no way cast out (John 10:28; 6:27). The Holy Spirit indwells the believer (I Corinthians 12:12,13), then seals the believer (II Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13,14) till the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). Now that is eternal security. I want you to realize what it would mean if a person could be lost, once they are saved. This would mean that the Holy Spirit would no longer be the Earnest for the saved sinner, that He would unseal Himself and give the sinner back to Christ who said no man could take him out of His hands. Now Christ would have to hand the sinner back to the Father who gave the sinner to Christ that also said no man can take the saved out of His hands. The Father would need to give the sinner back to the Holy Spirit that drew him, and the Holy Spirit would have to give the sinner back to Satan. Should that happen then it would make God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit liars, and mean the Bible may as well be trashed as who could believe the Trinity? Christ said He gives eternal life, not temporary life, or life as long as one can hold onto it, but everlasting life. I am thankful that God is unchanging and is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). This means that what He says holds true. When not in Christ, one is spiritually dead. II Thessalonians 1:3-5 “We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:” 39 God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, made the way to count His children worthy of Heaven, through the sinless righteous Saviour.
Jesus with the mission walked ever forward to the old rugged cross as He willingly was nailed to the cross, died, and was raised on the third day in obedience to God's will making it possible for those that believe in Him to have eternal life. Without Him, the whole world is without hope and will be cast into the Lake of fire for an …show more content…
eternity. In eternity before time began Christ was with God and He was God (John 1:1).
He and God the Father and God the Holy Spirit had a wonderful relationship (John 17:5). They were free from all corruption (Genesis 1:31). The Trinity did not have need of anything. They were not lonely. In this eternity God created time for His good pleasure (Revelation 4:11). There is nothing that God does not know (Acts 15:18) and Jesus knew all things that would come upon Him, even before creation (John 18:4). Yes, God knew He would give His only begotten Son to redeem sinful man, and yet He knew His great love for the world, and gave His only begotten Son to redeem mankind (John
3:16). Certainly, there is a difference between understanding, and being responsible. All are safe in the arms of Jesus till the day that one partakes of the forbidden fruit and knows the difference between right and wrong, of good and evil, and thereby lose innocence. This is true regardless if death comes as a newborn or if death comes in old age. I cannot conceive of anyone living long before they know the difference, outside of one that might be severely retarded, or in vegetable form. Parents that is why it is extremely important to start teaching children the moment that they are born. They may not be able to understand words, but their minds are registering impressions with their eyes. God said that the seed is in itself. Children will do as they see you do, not necessarily as told to do. This is why it is important that they are led as well as told and they have been observing parents since birth. I believe there will be many more children in Hell then what is visualized. Responsibility to God, even as an atheist, does not cease with an immoral rebellious creature. Neither does understanding cease, as even nature itself teaches that there is a God. Hebrews 13:12 “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.” No longer under law, but under grace, the sin offering that was temporary no longer pertained. Jesus set aside the redeemed for His own purpose, not with the blood of Jewish sacrifices that were but temporary, but with His own blood, suffered without the gate of city walls. Outside of Jerusalem, Christ became the permanent sacrifice for sin. The continued animal sacrifices under Levitical laws for sins was no longer accepted. One must look to Christ and His shed blood for redemption. There is no other way. Deuteronomy 30:19

Julius was born from Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar. His family had nobility status, although they were neither rich nor influential in the time period. Caesar was made military tribune before 70 B.C. and was quaestor in Farther Spain in 69 B.C. he helped Pompey to obtain the supreme command for the war in the East. As a general, Caesar was the best Rome had ever seen. He returned to Rome in 68 B.C. and in Pompey's absence was becoming the recognized head of the popular party. His love of Marius and Cinna made him popular with the people, but earned him the hatred of the senate. In Dec. 63 B.C. Caesar advocated mercy for Catiline and the conspirators, thereby increasing the enmity of the senatorial party and its leaders, Cato the Younger and Quintus Lutatius Catulus.
In Harper Lee’s fictional novel To Kill A Mockingbird, an African American field hand is falsely accused of raping a white women. Set in the 1930’s in the small town of Monroeville Alabama, Addicus Finch an even handed white attorney tries to shed a light on the injustice of this innocent black man’s conviction. Atticus feels that the justice system should be color blind, and he defends Tom as an innocent man, not a man of color.
The life of Jesus is told in the four gospels of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They speak of His virgin birth, His ministry and miracles, His death, and His resurrection. Jesus was born into humanity through Mary but was conceived without a human father (Matthew 1:18) making Him fully man and fully God. He was called the Son of God, (1 John 5:20), the second person of the Holy Trinity. Jesus taught about the kingdom of God and how we are to love everyone, even our enemies (Merrick, 2015). Jesus was the only human to live a sinless life so He was able to fulfill His purpose on earth to provide a way for man’s relationship with God to be restored. “In Jesus’ life, one beholds not merely the lengths to which God will go to save humanity, but the nature of the wisdom, love, and the power of God who saves.” (Merrick, 2015) God provided a plan so man could be redeemed and
Bryan Byerly Mrs. Wagner Western World 10 Seminar- 4 4 December, 2013 Christianity in Rome Essay Christianity became more prevalent in Roman society as time went on because it appealed to Rome and what Roman ideals were. In the beginning Romans were skeptical of changing religion, but as the years went by, the Romans adopted and changed. Christianity appealed to the Roman ideals, as it gave certain perks that their current polytheistic religion did not offer to them. The emperors of Rome had many different views on Christianity; some emperors encouraged change, and others were more traditional and wanted to stick to their current, polytheistic religion. Roman views on Christianity have changed drastically from the early years of the Roman
... the sins of the people, eating away at them forever from the soul and out to the flesh. This in his eyes was a tragedy worth the blood price. With no help from anyone and even with the burn of knowing his most trusted men would forsake him, Jesus went through every and everything for his people out of the immense love in his entire being for his people. They both sought after salvation for their people, and both in sacrifice, secured it.
... preach the word and to heal people. From reading the above text, we can tell that he went through more than any one of us will ever go through and all he was doing was good. It would be hard to imagine what would have happened to Jesus if Jesus would have really done something that was wrong. He took grief throughout his whole ministry, even up into the point where he was hanging on the cross. People were shouting to him, if you are who you say you are then save yourself. He had quite a hard role, but he died for us on the cross, and thank God that he did.
Jan Peter Balkenende said that “Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.” Religion has been very important in society, and in the human’s life as a belief in a god or in many gods. For Romans, the religion was the belief of many things as gods, sects, taboos, superstitions, rituals, and traditions, which were created by themselves that means that Roman religion was polytheistic. In addition, the thought of roman about religion was less spiritual than humanity to command their being and security. As a result, some Romans believed the religion was a public institution, but for others it was a part of their life. The Roman religion was divided in two different classes: the state
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life even up to his death by crucifixion. Far from being a way of appeasing a wrathful God for the sins of Mankind the Crucifixion is really an example of God's love toward us. Consider Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.". At first this seems slightly strange: how was God's love manifested towards us through the Crucifixion?
Paul began his argument of Romans by proving that the Gentiles are sinners before God. Although God has revealed His truth to them, they have suppressed it, resulting in the darkness of their inner man and rebellion against God to the point of worshipping animals (1:18-23). As a result God gave them over to do the desires of their heart (1:24, 26): idolatry (1:25) and homosexuality (1:26-27). Seeing that they had no desire to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a depraved mind to do every sort of evil (1:28-31).
Philippians 1:29 says “For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake” NKJV. John 1:12-13 says “But as many received Him, to them He gave the right to become his children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” NKJV. God has given us the choice to believe in him.
In book of Romans begins with the introduction of Paul, and how he is a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is writing a letter to Rome, and telling them that he plans to come and visit them to have a fruitful ministry with them (1:13). Paul begins to explain the need of righteous, and how people have sinned against God while knowing the truth. They worship ideals, murdering, sexual rituals with members of their own sex, and much more, and God is letting them do it, while Paul states they deserve to die (1:32). Paul explains that we are not allowed to judge those because we are all guilty of sin. It doesn’t matter whether if you’re a Jew or Gentile, God sees you for your heart, and if you are following His commands.
Who is Jesus Christ? What has he done to enable salvation from sin? What is the meaning and significance of what he has done?
Jesus Christ was the light that came to earth to brighten the lives of the people. He taught phenomenal and meaningful lessons that changed many hearts and caused people to accept Jesus as their Lord. Jesus Christ is the life of Christianity; the Word of God in flesh. His life, his ministry, and his crucifixion where prophesied long before he was born and Christians believe that they were all fulfilled. He had so much love for human kind that he came to earth to die for the sins of the people, so that their souls would be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible testifies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who taught memorable life lessons and performed astonishing miracles during his ministry.
God could not let the unholy into his kingdom, without become holy again. God then sent his son to save the world from all sins. Jesus is the son of God in the flesh form, this told to us in the scripture John 3:16 “for God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and her husband Joseph. He is the second person in the trinity “The Son”. The mission of Jesus was to teach us to ways of God and guide us back. Jesus was preaching the good news to all and the good news was the Kingdom of God (DiVincenzo, 2015). Into order to gain entrance to heaven, we all must be cleansed of our sins. Jesus was crucified on the cross so that our sins would be wiped clean and we could have another chance of eternal life with the Lord. Without Christ there would be no Christianity, which is why Jesus is so important to the Christian
