21 | ... | 1 Cor 15:45 | Elice Fox | 61874 | ||
Genesis 4:14 Life Application Bible: we have heard about four people so far- Adam, Eve, Cain and Able. so two questions arise: 1) why was Cain worried about being killed by others.2) where did he get his wife? Adam and Eve had numerous children they had been told to "fill the earth" ( 1:28). Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family if he was capable of killing ,so were they. the wife Cain chose may have been one of his sisters or a niece. the human race was still genetically pure and there was little fear of side effects from marrying relatives. | ||||||
22 | Eph 2:14 | Eph 2:14 | Elice Fox | 88234 | ||
Life Application Bible Eph 2:14 Christ has broken down the walls people build between themselves. since these wall have been removed, we can come to real unity with people who are not like us. this is true reconciliation, because of Christ's death we are all one family. Eph 2:14. our anger against each other has disappeared.we can all approach God through the Holy Spirit. we are no longer strangers to God and we are all apart of a beautiful temple with Christ as or cornerstone. there are many barriers that can divide us from other Christians, age, appearance, intelligence, political persuasion, economic status, race, theological perspective.one of the best ways to stifle Christ's love is to cater only to those for whom we have natural affinity. Fortunately, Christ has knocked down the barriers and unified all believers in one family. His cross should be the focus of our unity. The Holy Spirit helps us look beyond the barriers to the unity we are called to enjoy. | ||||||
23 | I would like info on history and audienc | 1 Thessalonians | Elice Fox | 54146 | ||
1 Thessalonians was writen by Paul the Apostle around A.D.50 it speaks to a culture filled with seductive images and sexual pressures.it brings eternal perspective to discussions of material things. it questions the secular values that undermine God's ways. How are Christians sanctified? 1 Thess 4:3-12.to be sanctified means to be holy or to have the quality of holiness. it means to become more like Jesus, dedicated and set apart for God's purposes. some believe sanctification occurs miraculously and instantaneouly. others see it as a process that continues over a lifetime still a miracle of God. many continue these views to say that believers are sanctified in Christ and continue to be sanctified as they grow in him.Paul lists three areas of life where sanctification can occur. (1) in a relationship with a spouse.sexual purity cannot be compromised; sexual intimacy is for marriage alone. (2) in relationships between Christians trust and love should energize relationships in the church; believers can't live double lives and serve God effectively(vv6,9). (3) in relationships with all others.decent, orderly living according to God's principles should win the respect of those outside the church(vv 11-12)with God's help we can choose to obey, him, living in line with his will 1Thess 5:23,24. May God himself the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.pray this helps you. | ||||||
24 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Elice Fox | 54367 | ||
"watch" means to stay awake and keep alert.Paul is not asking his readers to watch for the day of the Lord but rather to be spiritually prepared in order to escape the wrath of the day of the Lord .if we wish to escape the wrath of God, we must remain spiriually awake and morally alert, and we must continue in faith, love, and the hope of salvation(vv8-9); since the faithful will be protected from God's wrath through the rapture. we must not fear the day of the Lord, but must wait for his Son from heaven Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. | ||||||
25 | does this mean we aren't born of God. | 1 John 3:9 | Elice Fox | 56899 | ||
1 John 3:8 says if we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Quest Bible states.why can't we be free of sin? some believe we can live a sinless life of perfection(Rom 6:6) others say while perfection is not possible this side of life, a changed life is (2 Cor 5:17). some people speak of the varying effects of sin, concluding that we can be free from the penalty and the oppressive power of sin, but as long as we remain in a fallen world, they say, we will continue to confront the presence of sin. | ||||||
