But the most vivid expression of God's love is in the cross. God's love is a model for how we are to leave in each of our relationships in our lives.

The Bible has some concrete things to teach us about work. Work is not a curse, but part of our created purpose so that we can serve God. The curse is increase hardship, not work. In fact, work is a reflection of the God who has been working from the beginning. By design, work brings various benefits to others and us. This does not mean that rest is bad.

There are only two kinds of identification, a mark or a seal. Those with the mark have made what appear to be reasonable compromises in the interest of happiness, prosperity, and blessing. Those with a seal have made a total, uncompromising commitment to Jesus as Lord, refusing to take the mark. In the end, those with the mark will be destroyed, but those with the seal that identifies them as belonging to Christ will be saved from eternal destruction at the judgment.

These describe various kinds of suffering which include emotional, physical, and spiritual pain and anguish.

Sin is not an antiquated religious concept that needs to be redefined in medical or some other terms. Redefining sin only increases its power. Sin is falling short of God and affects our life, our moral will, our intellect, and our relationship with God, making us helpless. The only solution is to accept rescue from our savior, Jesus.

Every Christian is a disciple of Christ, which means he is a follower and imitator of Christ.

He praises the godly man for fearing God, for accepting responsibility, for acting courageously, and as a result, the godly man becomes a blessing to his family and many others. This means that the ideal of manhood is far from being a quaint relic from the past, but is defined, affirmed, and praised by the God who created it.

Our first action in making any plan is to consider the word of God above all else before going forward with it. We need to avoid making our own plans and then asking God to bless it, but instead to begin with asking what God's will is.
