Recommended: Understanding holiness

Glorification is the removal of sin which means that sin will be forever removed from the believers life. Romans 8:18 states " For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us". This glorification will come in two ways:

1.Death in this body because of sin which is the reason why men die (lost or saved). The difference is the believer will experience life after death.

2.The second coming of Christ. With His second coming we will be changed from being unholy into holy men, with unhindered access to God's presence.

God's people should not forget this, but remember that Jesus is our blessed hope. Therefore we can bank on one day He will cleanse us from sin completely. …show more content…

Men (lost or sometimes even saved) today live for the here and now, they live for something that won't last. Men live today to live to build up themselves, to build their kingdom, so they can be worship as a so called god. Men who choose to live against God is saying in their hearts " I declare myself god". Instead we should live in the hope to meet our Lord and Savior! Every day, we should be guided by the Spirit, and we should want to put to death the workings of the flesh. God's people should despise the flesh, and it cravings, it should bring His people to tears because it always wrestling in us. So God's people should look forward to the return of Christ, He brings the only key to unlocking the door, free from the bondage of

  • Poor Moral Character

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...matter what they may have done in the past, God will save them; there is no one too immoral or hated to be saved. This idea was started in the Hebrew Scriptures, with the introduction of the Social Justice tradition and is expanded in the Christian scriptures within the Gospel of Luke with Jesus’ acceptance of sinners and Saul’s radical transformation into Paul. God is willing to disregard one’s sinful actions and considerably improve their life and make them into a morally righteous Christian, enveloped in the Holy Spirit. His powers are great enough to completely change your character and whole moral fiber and he is willing to save every single one of his creations, despite their flaws. It is more important to God how you end your life rather than how you began it and if you learned from your mistakes or just dwelled in them; everyone can be renewed through Christ.

    Christians believes that once they have lived a holy and acceptable life, when they die they will go to heaven to be with God. On the other hand, if you lived an unrighteous life you will be seen as a sinner and if you die without repenting of your sin, then your afterlife will be spent in hell. In the eyes of the righteous, death is seen as a time of happiness because family and friends have the confidence that the decease is in a better place and if they too live an acceptable life they will see their love ones again. Death is also seen as a time of sadness because the decease will be missed by friends and loved ones.

  • Romans 8:1-17 As A Summary Of Paul's Thoughts

    "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death" (Rom 8:1-2). Paul believes if you are in Christ Jesus, then you will be saved. Because of Jesus' selflessness, he has freed us from sin and death. God had created the world through wisdom and with Adam we then were under the reign of sin. Then, with the resurrection of Jesus, He freed us from the law and we entered into a period of grace with God. We are living by the Spirit in an era of grace, so therefore we should be dead to sin. Paul explains this in greater detail in the beginning of Romans in 3:9.

  • Christianity: What is Temptation?

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    Temptations are one of life’s most riveting tests or enticements that we face diurnal. Moreover, it causes us to yearn for something that we do not necessarily need or it causes us to sin. Furthermore, if we give into temptation, we may be blissful, but it will only be ephemeral. It is because of “The Fall of Man” that sin is second nature for us, which in turn makes it facile to give into temptation. In other words, as the verbal expression goes “we were born in sin and live therein.” As a result, our temptations can either make us or break us. The Bible states in Romans 7:19 that “For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do” (King James Version). Strictly speaking, albeit we aspire to do good, because of our sinful nature, it becomes a struggle. However, it is for this reason, our nefarious nature that God sent down his son from Heaven, to give us hope. My definition of hope is “a positive anticipation of God’s promise.” It is this hope that gives us a reason to live, a reason to go on and vigor to surmount these temptations. Moreover, it is his death, burial and resurrection that gives us the hope of his saving grace. Nevertheless, despite the fact that hope is inexhaustible, temptation is inevitable, therefore, the Gospel according to Matthew 26:41 states” Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak (King James Version).
