Romans 4:19-22

In this set of scriptures Paul is teaching us that we need to follow the example of Abraham and have faith in the lord.  One of the things I think we get caught up on is wanting answers to our prayers immediately.  We live in a world of immediate satisfaction and forget that its not our timing but the lords. Heavenly Father knows our hearts and minds and we have to remember that he loves us.

Romans 1:25-20

In Romans Paul teaches us that we need to show our love for the gospel.  Paul was not ashamed to preach the gospel and to teach the power of that it holds.  Paul goes on to tell us that one of the ways we can preach the gospel is to live by faith.  With the world turning more and more to wickedness, we need to stand up and say Jesus Christ is our Savior and he was sent here to save us, so that we can live with Heavenly Father.  We need to teach love, hope, charity and compassion. 

Forgivness 2 Corinthians 2

We are taught that we need to forgive those who have hurt us.  To some that sounds easier than it is, to those who have Christ in their life that can be made easier.  We want Heavenly Father to forgive us for not being perfect, and he teaches us that we have to forgive as well.  When we are caught up in hating someone then we can't focus our minds and hearts in a Christ like way.

1 Corinthians 5 Avoiding Sin

Paul teaches the gentiles in 1 Corinthians 5 that they need to avoid being with fornicators and fornication.  Modern prophets teach us the same thing for our time. That we must avoid sexual sin at all cost, so that we can be worthy to return to Celestial Kingdom and live with Heavenly Father and Christ.

Paul 2nd Mission

In Acts 16:9-33 Paul is traveling around teaching the gospel and using his experiences as missionary tools.  Paul is a successful missionary because he seeks out what the lord want in prayer.  Paul teaches us to make the covenants with the lord to keep us safe. In Acts 16:23 the jailer is advised to keep the prisoners safe and watched over. A covenant can be compared to as the same.  When we make covenant with the lord we have the protection of the Lord.

This week I chose to Compare and contrast Herod and Peter from Acts 12

                                                               Herod, the King             Peter, the Prophet
What motivated each of them                  Anger and Hatred           Love for the Lord

How did they deal with others              He would kill those who       Peter taught with love, compassion and
                                                           disagreed with him                understanding.

How did God deal with them           The Lord punished him            The Lord protected Peter and saved him
                                                       by giving him a disease             from the prison guards and Herod
                                                       and killed him.
                                            

Acts 10:18-36

I am taking another New Testament class and again am choosing to blog my answers for my student choice assignment.

In Acts 10:18-36
In verse 34 Peter teaches us that God is no respecter of persons.  Peter teaches us that God does not respect one person but all those who feareth and worketh in righteousness for him.We need to make sure that we are seeking out the things that bring us closer to the lord and to do his will. In this section of scripture, Heavenly Father sends the Holy Ghost to fall on the Jews to testify of the vision that Peter teaches
