Besetting Sin: Letter To Mr. Jan Michael Palero
Besetting Sin – RESENTMENT

Title:”Love Hurts”
Text: Ephesians 4:29-32

Introduction:

I truly believe that there is no coincidence. I believe that through our leader, God is giving us assignments that are personally for us. It’s like a letter is sent and addressed to me,” To Mr. Jan Michael Palero, From God.” Inside the letter it says,” My child, this is your lesson for this season. Learn, meditate then apply. After doing so, share the truths of My Word.” The purposes of preaching are to command, to correct, and to challenge. This is also not a coincidence that you are here listening to this preaching. By the mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I will share to you another serious theme of our topic besetting sin – resentment. …show more content…
He does all things that glorify Him, which pleases Him. Isaiah 53:10 talks about the attitude of God the Father towards God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is written, “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin…” The scourging, the bruises, the mistreatment, the grief and pain on the cross, becoming sin for us of the Lord Jesus Christ were pleasing to God. Romans 8:32,” He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” It glorified God when He gave His Son as an offering for our sins. We can be contented that the God who is present anywhere, knows all things (things past, present, and will come), powerful than anything or anyone is self-existent, self-sufficient, sovereign will wisely work together all things with goodness, holiness, justice, mercy, grace, and love. And that He will always work in each individual’s life like that for eternity for He never …show more content…
And because of the pain the people were going through, they would “cry unto the LORD.” God then would raise a judge to deliver them out of the oppression, of the pain. Pain became a defense mechanism for anyone to increase avoidance of a particular harm and also to call for help. He doesn’t want us to do evil in His sight, to live that which is right in our own eyes. God wants us to cry unto Him our anger, bitterness, sourness, wrath, malice, hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, resentment so that He would deliver you out of those and turn those to self-control, mercy, grace and

    Brief Summary Of Contrapposto By Abraham Janssen Of Saint Sebastian

    Contrapposto pose shows an interest in humanity and the display of motion by normally shifting the figure weight on one side of it. Contrappoto and nudity seen in this particular artwork are classical characteristics; artists have used this skill many years ago to show interest in the human form and drama. The artwork I’m going to describe is a painting done by Abraham Janssen of Saint Sebastian in the year c 1609. From looking at the painting I couldn’t get much of the story, so I decided to research this painting online. It turned out to be that Sebastian is a very popular saint because he was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian persecution of Christians. According to the story, he was tied to the tree and shot with arrows and legend…

    "Consider the fearful danger you are in; it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in Hell. You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any mediator, and nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you.... The sovereign pleasure of God, for the present, stays his rough wind; otherwise it would come like a whirlwind, and you would be like the chaff of the summer threshing floor."…

    “They have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked...”(Edwards 79). Jonathon Edwards uses many rhetorical devices such as imagery, metaphor, and tone/diction which effectively explains God's wrath towards the people. Edwards purpose was to create scare tactics so that the sinners will confess and convert immediately. He was very effective in proving his purpose while exaggerating the uses of tone and diction. Jonathon Edward's Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God proves that everyone is condemned to an eternity in hell and only the only way to be saved is by confessing their sins and acknowledging Christ as the only savior.…

    The Role Of Mercy In The Old Testament

    Mercy is the compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm. God is one is being known for being merciful but the mercy he show in the old testament versus the new testament are vastly different. It can be seen evidently in the Old Testament in genesis four that god is merciful and forgiving versus in the New Testament depicted in Jerimiah forty four he is more relentless and unforgiving. The Old Testament depicts god as forgiving and trusting while in the New Testament he is more vengeful. His treatment of sinners changes completely whether it’s for the better or not we will never know.…

    Tale of Three Kings Assignment

    Throughout the bible we see how God uses broken vessels and imperfect people to carry out His purposes. I believe the author’s intention and main theme was to show the hurting Christian that there is hope if they persevere and submit themselves to God. In order to do this you need to have a heart transplant by removing the selfish, immoral beliefs that Saul and Absalom have placed within us. When we learn to break down these barriers and change our hearts, only then are we able to change who we are as a person. The desires of our heart can have such a stronghold on us to where we aren’t able to see things that are true, noble, pure, and lovely. We become more interested in the things of this world like power, wealth, and reputation; all which have no eternal value. The bible says in (Matthew 6:21) “for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Nelson, 1569)…

    Metaphors In Sinners

    “His anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of fierceness of his wrath in hell,”. This metaphor is used to show that God's anger towards an individual is as bad as being burned in hell for all eternity. The audience for this metaphor is referring to the sinners and the non-believers. The metaphor is used in this context to show that a sinner should not want God mad at them because of how strong he is.…

    The Faults Of The Church By Ciappelletto Summary

    The Faults Of The Church By Ciappelletto Summary

    The satire of the faults of the church is very prevalent throughout this story, and it is very prevalent that the author of the story does not have a high view of the Catholic Church or their canonization of the saints. Sir Ciappelletto is a man who finds shame in any documents that are anything “other than false” (Day 1 Story 1: Page 610). When he finds himself ill in a foreign land, he tells an assortment of lies to look good, and the friar believes him and promotes his canonization. This is very critical of the church because even when Ciappelletto says that he spit in the church, the friar says that it’s only a small sin, and that he himself does it as well. Instead of praying for forgiveness, he almost encourages the man that his sin isn’t…

    Death Through the Eyes of Everyman

    The Beginning of the play starts with God speaking. He talkings about how he died on the cross to give people life. Death was very important in this instance. This death was necessary in order to save the whole world from their sins. He also mentioned the seven deadly sins. These sins are significant in the fact that the world is corrupt and one day people will answer for their sins during judgment. When you stand before God what will he say? Will he say “well done” or “depart from me thy worker of iniquity I never knew you”. God also talks about how people live for their own pleasure. God will not always send Death to warn you like he did in the play. God says that people would be worse than beast if God did not provide.…
