    I am sure you have heard of the Gospel and read the story, but you must take into account many things before you explain it to a non-Christian. Many non-Christians are not familiar with Christian terminology because they have not looked into Christianity and read the Bible to understand our belief, and we as Christ’s followers must explain the Gospel in a simplified way for people who are not familiar with certain Christian terminology so they can understand the concept and become more familiar with the terminology. One way you can simplify the meaning of these words is to define them and simplify…

    Throughout history societies have created numerous religions and belief systems (Christianity being one of these). In the years that followed the death of Jesus Christ, a man named Paul believed he had been “… sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father…” ( NRSV, Galatians 1:1) to spread the gospel of salvation (or ‘Paul’s Euangelion’). Paul’s Euangelion stated “…we believe that Jesus died and rose again and… the Lord himself, … will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise ...” (NRSV, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16). During this time, the belief systems within regions influenced the content,…

    Christians should not give into the world when times get tough or reject the true God like Mr. By-Ends and his friends in Pilgrim’s Progress did. Believers that are non-devoted and fall into the worldly ways were never fully saved in the first place. If a Christian truly puts their faith in Christ, then they would want to change. When a believer gets saved God casts a more aware conviction on your conscience. Many Christians believe that if they repent once when you convert than they are good to go, sadly this theory is indeed wrong. Repentance is an ongoing task for a believer’s life, which God gifted us with through free grace. The beloved book Westminster Confession of Faith stats “The act of God’s free grace in Christ; yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may except pardon without it.” (Chap. XV Sect. 3). All humans are born with this sinful nature, which we cannot escape unless we repent to God. It is very important to note that emotional breakdowns are not repentance. Repentance is motivation by conviction to turn away from sin. If you keep rejecting the motivation by conviction that God gives you, you will become hard hearted. Since the dawn of time Christians have hated the way guilt feels from God, most of the time they will quit believing the Truth because of this. In Pilgrim’s Progress Hope talks about the dangers of this type of backsliding saying “Guilt, and to meditate Terror, are grievous to them; they like not to see their misery before they come into it…” (Pg.…

    It is really hard for some to wrap their heads around the truth in which Jesus could be human and God at the same time. It is hard for others to believe that God can love them and save them for the fact they cannot see him. The Christian gospel is rejected by some because of martial, political or sexual reasons. In order to be a faithful follower of the Lord means you choose to follow specific ethical standard in which some individuals do not choose to live by.…

    To be a Christian during the time of the fall of the Roman Empire would not be a pleasant time to live. Christians believed in a higher power and devoted their lives, souls, and minds to God. And by doing this, they inevitably sealed their fate to be persecuted. Christianity began to rise slowly, but began to rise rapidly after the death of Jesus. The Romans had many problems with the Christians and they showed their anger by pursuing the Christian's faith, which proved to back fire because the Christian belief just grew stronger.…

    Avoiding a call from God is something I believe happens more often than not. Why? Because people have free will and choose to believe in other things, gods, etc. and want to choose their own way of living apart from God. Also, I believe a lot of people are living out their callings, but do not believe in Christ where they then cannot live out their full callings because living out your full calling requires to put your trust in God.…

    Gospel Of Matthew Essay

    • 449 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Gospel of Matthew was written with the intention of bridging the gap between the prophecies of the Old Testament, and their fulfillment by Jesus in the New Testament. In order to make this connection, Matthew’s Gospel takes on a specific mode. It is mainly composed of stories that relate to the teaching aspect of Jesus’ life. Matthew uses his role as an instructor to portray Jesus as a “humble and compassionate Messiah.” Matthew’s perspective is also focused; the Romans are seemingly less culpable for Jesus’ death than the Jewish leaders and people. Perhaps the writer’s intentions shine through as an effect of this focus, and it seems probable that, “[Matthew] was likely intended to shock both Jewish Christians and their Jewish neighbors…
