Christianity
...That right there is enough proof to show that we are not worthy of his presence. God is of the Spirit. He is not made of matter and mind, and he does not possess a physical nature. Some think that God is that of a human. There is no possible way that this could be, because in John 4:24 Jesus speaks, "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” Even though Jesus had flesh of the Spirit he still did have matter. He had flesh, which is matter. In this flesh were very important qualities. God still possesses all of these qualities even though He does not have flesh. These characteristics would fit for either God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit. They all work in the trinity and have these qualities even though one might display it in a different manner than the other. In the thirty-three years of Jesus' life, He had three very important characteristics that are something we all should try and follow Loveliness, Faithfulness, and Forgiveness. Very often when people think of Love, they think of Jesus. In John 4:8,16 it says that God is love. This is a paraphrase but it is still stating something that is very important. That verse shows that Jesus had (and still does) mercy and compassion for us. Another verse that shows that God's love as apparent is John 3:16,"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.” He has so much love for us that he even gives us life. He could just let us Christians live our own life but He helps us out with His great grace. Grace is part of the whole effect of God's love. Basically what grace is, is the way that God deals with us. It has nothing to do with what we deserve or basis of merit, but it is giving out by how much we need. God deals with them according to his goodness and generosity. That seems similar to benevolence, but it isn't. Jesus' grace is really shown in the New Testament. In Exodus 34:6it says "The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious.” In Ephesians 2:7-9 it says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. In those verses it is saying that God is allowing us to be saved. He doesn't have to save us; He could just let u s all go to hell, but he gives each and everyone of us a chance to accept Him. The list goes on and on of different verses in the Bible that shows us of God's grace. God's grace is related to the Mercy that He gives us too. Jesus' mercy was his loving, compassion, tenderheartedness. He has a very tender heart toward the needy. That is the kind of mercy that Jesus has for all of us. We are supposed to fear God and Jesus and then they will pity those who fear them. If they did not pity us and have mercy on us we would not be alive. They would have let us die by now. They cannot stand to be in the sinning world that we live in. They would just do away with us if they didn't care about us. Because of all of this care He has for us I feel that we need to have faith in Him. If God is really to be true and we believe that He is, then His faith in us has been proven. He is all-powerful and He would never do something that could proven not to be true. Jesus had faith in us in many ways. His father has one big example of faith. This example was the time in which Abraham was to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on the alter. God said that he (Isaac) would be very important in years to come. First of all A...
