Religious Values Based on Jesus Can Free Us From Sin and Death
Romans 8:2. If we have religious values based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, we can be free from sin and death. We can escape death, the consequence of sin, and have eternal life. All we need to do is accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There are countless ethical or religious values that we can hold dear, but at the end of our natural lives the only surety we will have is death if we do not hold Jesus precious. We can not be perfect before God without us valuing Jesus and His teachings before anything else.
Love is the Fulfillment of God's Will
Romans 13:10. Love is a characteristic that God desires everyone to possess. The love that God desires for us is a special type of love called “agape” love. Agape love is defined as unmerited favor. This is a love that we show to others even if they do not deserve our loving kindness. Agape love is the love that God shows to all of mankind with the offer of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ, His Son. This type of love never shows ill will to anyone. It is the love we show when we love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
Secret Knowledge is Truth That God Has Not Revealed to Mankind
Deuteronomy 29:29. Secret knowledge is the providence of God. Organizations that profess to have secret knowledge or truth do not line up with the world of God. God is the source of all knowledge, both revealed knowledge and secret knowledge. When God reveals secret knowledge to a person or group of people, this truth is suppose to be revealed to all of mankind. This is what happened in the Old Testament. God would reveal secret knowledge to a prophet and it was the prophet's purpose to reveal this truth to everyone.
Best Type of Government Has a Christian Vision Reflected in Its Laws
Proverbs 29:18. From a Christian perspective, a human Government should have laws that promote a vision based on the teachings of Christ. The good news is that many Governments to include the United States have laws based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, namely the Ten Commandments. Until recent times, U.S. laws have promoted the pursuit of happiness and peace based on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Now there appears to be an assault on the underpinning of U.S. governing laws. Laws are becoming based on principles that are at odds with Judeo-Christian beliefs.
Nature versus Nurture – Many Things May Influence Our Actions, But God Determines What Is Right and Wrong
Deuteronomy 29:29. God is the great revealer. He is the holder of all things that are true. Nature or our environment does not determine what is true or what is right. When we get caught up in the question of nature vs nurture, we are basically assuming that our genes or our environment are controlling our actions. This also leads to us thinking that our genes or our environment are the source of right and wrong. This line of thinking is erroneous because God is the holder of truth and has control of everything.
Prayer Is The Way To Win In Spiritual Warfare
Psalms 1:2. Through prayer we shall prosper in spiritual warfare. The prayer that God desires from us comes from the heart. When we delight in prayer and seek God's truth day and night, we will prosper (Psalms 1:2-3, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper").
The Holy Spirit Equips Us For Spiritual Warfare
Romans 8:4. Romans chapter 8 describes to us how the Holy Spirit equips us for spiritual warfare. The Holy Ghost guides us in how to conduct spiritual warfare. By us fully surrendering to the Spirit of God in us, we can be fully equipped and led by the Spirit. By us being spiritually minded we can conduct spiritual warfare and take hold of the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is the objective of spiritual warfare. The Holy Spirit equips us to conduct spiritual warfare in order to take on the mind of Christ.
The Power Of Belief Brings Endless Life
Hebrews 7:16. God's power results in endless life (Hebrews 7:16, " Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life"). We receive God's power of endless life through faith and trust in God. Jesus demonstrated on the cross that He has victory over death. His ministry proved that we can also have victory over death. It is through our power of belief in God that we can have endless life.
Does everyone have a conscience?
Romans 2:14. The short answer is yes, everyone has a conscience. This includes Christians, Jews, and the unsaved - everyone. The question is what standard is followed by a person's conscience. For a Christian his or her conscience should continually be raised to an higher conscience as he takes more and more of God's Word into his heart. Jews have a conscience as evident with Jesus confrontation with the Jews and the fate of the woman caught in adultery. Jesus told them to cast a stone at the woman if they were without sin.
