  1. We must be willing to die for Christ sake. This shows God that we belive in him and trust ourselves to him.. We are on his schedule not one that we made. He planned us from before were born. So, we should willing take up our cross daily and follow him.
  2. Just because we are not persecuted does not mean that we are bad. It may be a sign that you need to work on expressing your love for God more openly. Try to bring more people to know Jesus Christ. We should find happiness in persecution by knowing that we are loved by God and that we are here serving him.
  3. Whatever persecution I may receive for sharing in Christ's suffering cannot compare to that which he suffered for us. We cannot even come close to understanding the suffering he endured for us. The movie Passion of the Christ gives us a better understanding so we can start to comprehend the suffering he endured. We need to be sure that we remeber the love that God has for us to send his son here to suffer and die to save us from sin.
  4. By avoiding persecution we risk the fear of not spening eternity with God. Also we will not truley understand an ounce of what Jesus endured for us on the cross. Jesus suffered for us so that we may be saved we should be ready to any persecution for him.
  5. They should not be promoting themselves but rather God and his wroking through them to lead others to serve him. I am not clear as to exactly what gifts he has given. But there maybe some gifts that he has given that we are never clear on and that we do our everyday things that help to serve him in ways that we can never comprehend or know about. Like if youwere to help someone who was less off than you and it was like second nature. Youdid not realize that God was working through you and how greatful that person was to have you to help them.
  6. We all do not want to give accounts of our lives because when we think of it we realize that we are sinners. By giving account of our lives we should use this to help us to prepare ourselve for Christ and try to do that which we know is right.
  7. The non-Christians try to get us to sin with them so that they cna say that we are not better than they are when we refuse to do the things we know are wrogn in God's eyes. But we are tempted because we don't want to have to defend ourself to anyone. But we can resist the temptaion and pray for God to help guide us when we start to wander onto the path of sin. Walking away fromthe temptaiton is also another thing we can do to avoid falling into sin.
  8. It should help keep from sinning knowing that Jesus willingly took upon him the suffering for all our sins to save us from a life in eternal hell. He wants us to be with him and the father in eternal joy and life.
  9. I was baptized as a small child which I know that some churches call it child dedication. I never had the influence of my God parent's like I should have. Some people I think just pick someone because they are family and don't want to hurt anyones feelings. However I have decided to pledge my life to Jesus and promise to serve him. I am going to be baptized again so that I can let the immersion of the water take me from the life I have lived and to be reborn into a life of serving Jesus Christ.
  10. Jesus died for my sins. I now that I am not deserving of this. However by Jesus coming to us and suffering for me I need to worship God and share the news with others so that I can indeed have eternal life with the father in heaven.
  11. It is hard enough for most to be a witness to people not persecuting us. So, for us to be the right kind of witness we need to reflect first and determine the kind of witness we need to be and then believe in God to help us in our struggles. I know that fo rme in my situations I need to work on keeping a clear conscience. So, I don't get off the track that I am in following Jesus.
  12. I feel that my church has most of these qualities. They work together an dsupport others in need. All are needed to make us more Christ like churches. We should work on them at home before we can expect others to do the same.
  13. Women should try to look their best but, should not forget that their inner beauty is just as important as well. Some women concentrate too much on what they look like that they lose who they are inside. We cannot forget what it is htat is important to God.
  14. We find submission difficult because we don't look at doing it voluntarily. But more as a task that is not as understood to us. THis does not mean that we keep quiet we must still stand up and correct people so that they may learn to follow God in the right way. Because it is not right for us to be submissive whe it will lead us to sin against God. We must still remain true to our faith and do what is right to lead an example for ohters to live by.
  15. Sin is so powerful because we aer by nature sinful since the garden of eden. It is something we must learn overcome and not let it take over our lives. We must rid ourselves the old self so that we may be reborn and live in Jesus name. We die of sin by being baptized to rid our old self and live for righteousness when we are cleansed by the washing of our sins.
  16. The sinificance is that he took all our sins and suffered through them so tha twe may be saved. Fo rme it is significant because I can look to God and know that I am forgiven by him giving his son to suffer for us and have eternal life with him.
  17. Because Jesus had to be sinless to make him different than us. Because we are sinners we could only be saved by one taht was sinless. Jesus suffered a great deal when our sins were poured into his soul. He had not sinned the whole time he was on earth and when he was going through the suffering of the time before he was nailed to the cross. he did not do anyhting to stop it. Knowing that he had to suffer for us to be saved. He was the son of God and knew that he had to be sinless to save us. Also by being the son he could not be a sinner an dbe called the son of God.
  18. Jesus suffered for me so that I may live eternally with him in heaven. Even though we are by nature sinnfull. It is the death of Jesus that sets us free if, we choose to live in the example Jesus did in his life.
  19. Christ example helps me to realize that I need to make sure that I am not trying to get even when someone does something to me. To trear others as I want to be treated and in a way tath would be pleasing to God. I am going to work on making sure that everyday I am acting more pleasing to God. Trying not to let myself be tempted to fall into the same way as others would act.
  20. We don't just get mad and express how we feel like most other people do. Being concious of God in the work place makes you think about what he would want you to do to bring justice to the work place. A Christian should not be a complainer but, there are some who may say they are a concious Christian and still complian. But we are by nature sinful so it is hard to break from that sinful person in us. Most of the time I don't do anything about prolonged treatment if I am the one treated poorly. But if it is happening to someone else and I can talk to anyone else about it to help them.
  21. He wants us to respect them no matter what they say or do that we may disagree with. We should still give our all to the job because we are still serving God when we are at work. By not giving our all we are disrepecting what god wnats from us everyday.
  22. To keep from having people talk of us as if we were not leading Christan lives. We must let people see us as we are worshiping God not hiding it when noone is looking. If we do not obey his laws then we cause hurt to God.
  23. By showing to others the joy of praising God we can increase God's praise. If we try to blend in then noone can tell that we are praising God and may be tempted to fall into sin and to conform to society.
  24. Peter tells us to abstain from the sinful desires that lead us to conform to the way of the world. This reminder helps us to know that we are right ot follow God and not conform to the ways of the society we are in today. Knowing that we are still to obey his commandments.
  25. It should inspire us to have the attitude that we are here to serve God and that we should act in manner that is pleasing to him. We don't want people to question if we are really belivers in Christ. So, we should work on bringing others to belive ans see the way to eternal life with God after we leave this world.
