We Christians are to keep away from anything or anybody that might take the place of our Lord God in our lives; all idols distract us from knowing, worshiping, praising and obeying Him as the Lord of our lives; and this world is so full of idols of easy distractions from God
-
Actually, there is really only one condition (broken down into 2 parts) to answered prayer and that is our obedience to God
-
I think that the basic difference between a faith relationship with the Lord Jesus, which is what true Christians have, and any other religion that the world has, is that in the Christian faith God came down to us as a Man in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to reach out to us and save us by going to the cross at Calvary and dying for us as well as to be resurrected for us; while in all the other religions of the world (except Christianity) man is trying to reach up to God and trying to

The defeatist mentality of some Christians is that they may know that God overcomes the world but they don
-
We Christians need to have the fear of God in us, of His awesome greatness and awe, respect, reverence for our God, our heavenly Father, but also a fear in us to go ahead and sin against Him, in knowing that this was what put Jesus Christ on the cross in the first place. I agree with Dr. Ralph when he stated that the Christian preachers from before us were quite creative in portraying the imagery of the punishment26in the fires of hell --
so creative that they taught fear rather than confidence to the believers themselves,

The fact that God is love is in all whom God is and all that He does because it is all about His tremendous love for us and all of God
-
God in us, the Holy Spirit, is much greater than anyone in and part of the world and not of Christ Jesus, including all of the false prophets and even Satan; and we can only overcome them all by God the Holy Spirit

Believing that Jesus is God whom came in the flesh is very important to true Christian faith because of the many implications of this fact to our lives as well as the Word of God states this as the truth in several places. Satan does not want to believe this because if he did then he would also have to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is the Lord over all of creation (which He is) and that is, his Lord as well; and Satan believes that he is the master or king of this world and there is no other to rule over him. This is significant to not only the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus but to our lives as Christian believers in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because of many reasons I can think from the Holy Bible; but probably one of the most significant is the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ lived His human life here on earth and died here so He could understand, know and have compassion on what we humans have been going through and He suffered much more then all of us do in our lives, suffering even unto His cruel death on the cross so He offered Himself as the one and final sacrifice for our sins in order to save us of whom He had chosen even before eternity past to be a part of His everlasting family. He couldn

When we know God personally by having His Son the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, then we will be obedient to Him as the Lord (Master) of our lives and will be living righteously before Him so as we love our God and enjoy Him forever, then He will answer our prayers because they will be in-line with His will for us; but we are not ever able to
-
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us when He laid down His life for us as His chosen people and we are to do the same thing for each other as we give of ourselves in various ways, such as to use the good gifts the Lord has given to us for the good of others in the church and for God
-
We must flush out all of the ungodly anger within us towards those who have hurt us; confess them all and ask for God

Cain was jealously angry and resented Abel because God knew what was in both of their hearts and accepted Abel

Christians believe John

Since the Holy Spirit, as God

When that person refuses to acknowledge God as his Lord and Savior, and to go his own way and to do whatever he/she wants to do in their lives; this is the lawlessness of sin that shows in their attitudes as well as their actions; and it causes sin in our own lives, even though we are saved from sin by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus, we still have as human beings this attitude of lawlessness and sin in us; but praise be to God that He has saved us from all of these things and brought us to Him in giving us new lives in Christ Jesus! Amen!

We are motivated by Christ

As was said above, we need teachers in the church who are filled with the Holy Spirit to help us to grow and mature in the Lord Jesus, which is exactly what the Holy Spirit does in all of our lives so we need the gifted teachers of God
-
When we abide/remain/continue in the Lord Jesus, we are daily seeking Him and His will for our lives, to know Him better from His Word and prayer, and having fellowship with other Christians; but when we are not abiding in the Lord, then we are not seeking Him in His Word nor praying to Him daily, and are out of fellowship with other believers as well, and not being obedient to Him as His disciples.

The Holy Spirit is an internal Guide for us to point to all truth, which is Jesus Christ, as Jesus said to us:
-
This anointing is from the Holy One of God, the Third Person of the Triune God, the Holy Spirit, and He is in and upon everyone in the church that know the Lord Jesus as his/her personal Lord and Savior, so yes, every Christian has received this anointing of the Holy Spirit as true believers; but those who went out of the congregation of believers who were not of us, instead of continuing with us they went out to spread their false teachings elsewhere and are not true believing Christians and have not received the true anointing of the Holy Spirit in their lives; but rather, are truly the anti-christs of any age and place; and I believe that they were never Christians who have
-
As far as I can see from the Scriptures, there is no differences between the antichrist and the antichrists in the church, because I believe that both are actually the same; and they have been working within as well as outside the church since the day that the church begun, and will continue to oppose God
-
Every kind or type of sins are covered by these three examples of human worldliness; and all three of these types were offered to our Lord Jesus Christ by Satan when He was in the wilderness being tempted but never having sinned, and we are also tempted by all of these kinds of sins, but often we don

Q1. Father, Forgive Them (Luke 23:34)
in Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross
Posted
We all are responsible for putting Him on the cross and killing Him as He showed us His wonderfully great mercy when He forgave us for all of our sins and showed us His forgiveness by dying on the cross for our sins; and thus, He is praying for us as we have become His people and a part of His forever family, so that our sins are forgiven by His great awesome love towards us, and in bringing to Him our hearts and lives so that our heavenly Father answers His Son
