Q4. Refiner and Purifier
dmmelo9 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 10. Jesus the Risen King of Glory
How does Jesus purify and refine his church? Through his Holy Spirit and his word. How does he purify and refine us? The same way. On the Day that fire will test your deeds, will you have anything that remains, besides your salvation? I hope so! -
If Jesus is the Father's Beloved, how can the Father send him to die? Just because God is love. We can't explain it. How does that make sense, given what we know of parental love? It doesn't any sense. What does that say about God's love for us? This says much more than We can understand.

In what way does the title Son of God make Jesus equal with the Father? In every sense! Same power, same presence, same essence... When you deal with the Son, is that the same as dealing with the Father? Yes, Of course! Both are the same. When Jesus was among us as a human being, No. Do you know Jesus the Son of God? Do you love him? Yes, Of course!

I think the prayer is one of the most important thing in Christian life. I can choose! to have more relationship with him or not. It's up to us. Whether We consider Jesus as truly friend or not. If we do. GO ahead -
Q2. In what ways does taking Jesus’ name on ourselves, or identifying ourselves with him, open us to shame and persecution? We need to be like Jesus. Light for this terrible world. Have you seen examples of this in your own experience? Yes. What actions might show that a Christian is ashamed of Jesus? to deny him before the world. What actions might show that a Christian is unashamed of Jesus? Walking by faith and to give hope for the sinners through his word.

Hello, I think the most important thing that Jesus made was use him as an example. I believe Jesus talked with his disciples in many circunstancias, but his greatest teaching was his example. Sometimes We don't need to talk a lot, just being a good example it's enough... We need good examples for these actual days. -
