  1. The characteristics of a believer whose his life is as an alien or stranger, would be one where the act of sinning or doing any sin, though it may enter into his mind, he would never do it knowing the price that Jesus paid for sin and that sin would take him farther away from God; he would never do it. Because we are in the world but not of this world, the world hates us. Even though the world hates us, Jesus prays for us to the Father, we have the joy of Jesus; we know where we are going. We have Jesus inside of us. With Jesus inside of us, we know the spirit of truth.
  2. The new Heavens and the new Earth will have no sin or death. Lions and lambs will be together and the lamb will not be eaten. Children will go near where serpents live and not worry about being attacked. Jesus will be there and everything will be beautiful. God's children will live in perfect peace!!
  3. Midianites were attacking the children of Israel. The angel of the Lord came to Gideon. Gideon was troubled that he would die. The angel of the Lord told him he would not die, so Gideon named the altar the Lord is Peace?
  4. Synonyms for Save: Preserve, Rescue, Aid, Redeem And for Savior Rescuer, Redeemer While humans were at the lowest point that we could ever get, Christ died for our sins. He gave His all for us with no guarantee that we would accept what He has done for us.
  5. The next of kin was responsible for taking care of debts owed by kin; marrying the wife of kin who has died to keep the family name going; avenging the death of kin which were murdered. Even before we were kin God mad provision for our debt of sin to be paid, Jesus married us once we accepted him as Lord and Savior so our name would be remembered in the book of life. He supplies our needs and heals us. He keeps us from danger. Jesus paid the debt for sin that we owed. For some unknown reason we are the apple of God
  6. God shows His grace by overlooking our faults and taking care of our needs. It is not just because we have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. Before we accept Jesus God
  7. God knew sin must be paid for, knew from the beginning that man would fail. He therefore already had a way for man to be redeemed from sin before Adam sinned.
  8. Before I get into the question I'd like to mention an interesting fact that I just noticed. Moses broke the tablets of the law when he saw the Israelites worshiping the gold calf. This I take as all men have and will break the law of God, but God is willing to recreate the law once we have broken it. If God had not forgiven Israel they would have had to pay for their sins which would have meant death and eternal separation from God. Israel I believe may have been afraid but I
  9. For me the fact that God who loves the world sent his Son to die on the cross for our sins, is an amazing show of love for the world and for myself personally. I understand that Jesus is God and that God himself died on the cross but there is an image that comes to mind that God who loves his Son gave up his Son to have access with me. That is a picture that means so much to me. I must mean a lot to such a God. God is shown as a mother hen covering her chicks with her wings.
  10. God loved Israel as a husband is supposed to love his wife and give her honor. God took care of the needs of Israel as long as Israel stayed faithful to the one God. The New Testament extension to this is the marriage supper of the lamb; God
  11. Jesus and the Father are one in that what They say is the same. They don
  12. God is ruler, leader; the one Christians need to follow. At the same time He the one we need to go to meet our needs. He is the one who will guard us against any perils. Our behavior needs to be one of honor and respect to God; never doubting what he says. We need to know that his way is the only way we should go.
  13. My needs are never going filled on this earth or by anything this earth can offer. My thirst is going to repeatedly need a drink which will be supplied by the heavenly Father. God will supply my every need. My present and future needs will be supplied by God the Father.
  14. We resist calling on God because we want to take care of problems ourselves. We want to show that we can take care of our own problems. There is not required of us for God to be our Helper or Shepherd. I have heard God moving and helping unbelievers in their time of need. But the one verse that seems to stick with me is when the Israelites were at the water and the Egyptians were after them and God said to the Israelites, Stand and see the salvation of the Lord. The Egyptians see today you will see no more forever.
  15. I have gone and am going through things that when I pray and tell God what is happening, there is a peace that comes over me. It as if I
  16. Time means nothing. God is the goal, God is everything. It doesn
  17. The content of the Judeo-Christen faith is Jesus shed his blood and died for our sins. There is no way anyone person can have a relationship with God or go to heaven without accepting what Jesus has done for them. Noah
  18. Faith is more than a feeling or saying that one has a feeling or believes. As God formed the universe from nothing in the beginning, so our faith must become action in our lives. If we believe in God, then our belief makes us to do things that show what we believe. God believed He was God in the beginning. From His belief in Himself, He formed the world and mankind from nothing that was seen. Then if came into being. If I believe in God than I must have faith in God as He had faith in Himself to act on what is not seen as if it were there.
  19. The perseverance in faith is hard sometimes because we have two mindsets; to live in this world and to follow God
  20. I take this as one who has turned from accepting Jesus as his/she personal savior. This is not a garden-variety sin. This is the walking over on the Son of God. Since God has placed Jesus at his right side, to walk over Jesus means that you have a better way of salvation signifying you don
  21. We are supposed to exhort one another. Usually we meet together for personal reason; we are lonely, we are bored, it a social thing that impresses others. We often stop going to church due to: we been offended, we don
