1 Peter

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you,

5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,

9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. [/B]

Thanks charity – actually i'm new to the faith.

Faith is a gift fom GOd through His grace and mercy and should be nurtured, so i heard in a sermon.

A friend of mine was ministering to me and she told me that such is needed to be saved.  I countered that its FAITH, but unable to support it with scriptures.  I'm not well versed with the bible, my interest was awaken just recently.

I told her i'd rather not go around ministering if what i say is false She smiled and she finally asked me, what is the true religion?  I said NONE, and that every religion may have in them some truths and some false teachings and i'm not even sure what is false though…

Thank you to all… i'm learning from all your posts.

stu,

a rock and an orangutan?

man can't have a relationship with a rock but with a thinking and a feeling orangutan ( a creation of GOD) man can establish a relationship.

if man can relate to a fellow creation, how much more with his CREATOR.

i agree, it must be the chicken first before the egg otherwise without a protector and a provider the egg couldn't hatched nor could it reach its “chickenhood”

Hi!

Thanks for the enlightenment sisters.  

As i understand then, in the beginning GOD created everything good – and the desires of man caused him to stumble and sin against GOD.

GOD's love for human kind is so great that it was GOD Himself who offered the sacrifice – that is He sent His only begotten SOn (Jesus) to the world to die for mankind.

Salvation is assured to those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Now when we say “FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST”, what does FAITH really entails?

Is ministrering a requirement of FAITH?

thanks im4truth.

Actually i'm so ignorant about the scriptures. All i know about God is that He is the creator of all things and that He has a Son Jesus Christ.. this i've learned from school. As to why He died for the sins of mankind have left me puzzled since i was a child. But i never bothered to search nor read the bible…until i've heard about people saying that Jesus Christ is God… and i said WHAAAT! So i started reading the bible but i don't know how and where to start. I started searching in the net…. and so here i am faced with differing beliefs and doctrines. I hope to be enlightened of the truth because i don't know what to believe anymore…

I don't have much to share with you guys…coz i'm just starting my journey.

I just hope we all could get at the real TRUTH in time.

GOD bless!

Hi!

I'm new here. I just want to ask what was the identity of Jesus Christ before He became a man?
