Recommended: The relationship between religion and law

Paul in his letter to his son in Lord Timothy encouraged him on three things. First, he warned him against the false teachings of the gospel vs 3-11. This is because there are some who teach the wrong view about the salvation of God. They proclaim that salvation comes from legalism, but here Paul emphasized that salvation has nothing to do with work, but it comes by having a genuine faith in Christ. Henceforth Paul encouraged Timothy to always teach the pure truth and not engage in meaningless teaching just like others do. Secondly, Paul reminded Timothy that we all are not perfect, therefore, He should also be ready to resist wrong teachings of the gospel. In verse 12-17 Paul reminded Timothy that he was once a sinner who was saved by the …show more content…

Here he encouraged Timothy on the prospect of praying for both people in the authority and for the people they govern. He also talked about the moral issue that affects the spiritual life of a believer. For example, He encouraged the women to pay more attention towards beautiful in character more than being beautiful in outward appearance. In looking at the way Paul’s letter to Timothy relates to my life and ministry., I can say that it has encouraged me to know that God’s salvation comes through His grace and not through legalism. Keeping the law is good, but it does not justify our salvation in Christ. The knowledge of this will improve the way I see people around me. For example, it will make me be less judgmental toward other people around me. Also, People like me always want to be quick to condemn people for no reason. Knowing this will encourage me to understand that everything is not about living in the law rather I should allow God’s love to shine toward the life of people around me without judging them. Furthermore, the letter also encouraged me to strive on living in the truth of the gospel and finally be ready to shut down the evil thoughts in my heart. As an aspiring pastor, I believe that if I can continue to learn how to shut down the devil's evil desire it will help me to leave a well-controlled life as an aspiring pastor or leader in the

“The Gospel For Those Broken By The Church” by Dr. Rod Rosenbladt Rod Rosenbladt paints a fantastic picture in his presentation “The Gospel For Those Broken By The Church.” He discusses how the church can often push people away from the Gospel, and, by extension, God. He explains how pastors push people away from Christianity and why many of the “alumni of the Christian faith” are feeling how they do: why some of them feel angry, and why some others feel sad about the Christian faith. Rosenbladt’s presentation, in many ways, mirrors Paul's presentation of the Gospel in the first eight chapters of his letter to the Romans. In said letters, Paul explains how we are all God’s apostles, how we try to uphold the law, and even though we fail

6-10) we can see the future hope Paul is talking about. Because of the future hope that is before him Paul can make it his aim to be pleasing to God. In verses 6-10 Paul expresses the courage which he has because of this promise and what he is working towards before he reaches that hope. In other words, he can give himself to gospel ministry because of this future hope. This section will argue that Paul sees the future hope as a base for the courage to do his ministry.

For Centuries the interpretations of Paul’s letters have been centered on them apparently being of Judaist works and legalistic. Kent L. Yinger’s 105-page book, The New Perspective on Paul: An Introduction, Yinger studies the history of NPP via E.P Sanders 1977 publication of Paul and Palestinian Judaism: A comparison of Patterns of Religion. He details Sanders views and main arguments of NPP in the book since these are what laid the groundwork for the new perspective. He uses historical background and an outline format in each chapter as a method to illustrate new aspects to the perspective of Paul. Yinger, who is pro-NPP, attempts to introduce these topics in lame terms to prevent confusion and create clarity in understanding the new

In chapter 3, Saint Paul write to Timothy in order to instruct him on how to conduct himself in the house of God, church of the living God and the pillar and ground of the truth. He also lists the qualifications necessary for those who would serve as bishops and deacons as well. Saint Paul write that a bishop must be blameless, husband of one wife, temperate, well behaved, and be able to teach. He conveyed that the bishop must be able to lead and rule his own house and have his children in submission with all reverence. He explains that if he can’t be a good testimony and can’t rule his own house, then how could he take care of the Church of God.

This ties in to Psalm 119:65. The Psalmist recognizes that while astray from God, affliction followed. It wasn’t until he realigned himself with God’s word that he was rid of spiritual discrimination and was able to receive knowledge from God. Scripture is indubitable. If we maintain God and His Word as central to everything we do, it will minimize the disconnect from God and thus minimize the potential for bad

Paul encourages the believer in Rome that there is a still hope and that not all is lost. He insists that there is a way to righteousness thru none other then Christ the Son of God, The God that they have left outside of their margins. In continuation to that, everyone regardless of culture, language, skin color and of customs may be safe through faith in Jesus Christ. That discrimination may be our own misunderstanding of God’s perspectives. Perhaps God has created us equal to one another, in regards to that, the same blood that cleanses one person is the same one that cleanses me and everybody else.

For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin,” (NKJV, v. 9). He then goes on to quote Psalms reinforcing his point. Since all are under the law, none are justified (NKJV, Romans 3:20). After establishing an equal identity across all nations, Paul reminds believers who we are. In Romans 6, Paul states, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace,” (NKJV, v. 14).

The lifting of the sins referenced in Paul’s letter to the Galatians is seen as a gateway to God through Jesus Christ. An interesting point from the religious scholar, Owen, is the idea that Paul refers to sin as something that is trapped under the law. To quote Owen, “What the Law effects is precisely a curse on all who receive it!” the law is seen in Galatians as something that potentially had the power to liberate and justify the Hebrews, yet there is no room for sin reference. Paul references in his letter that, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,” which means that Jesus Christ took away the sins and further opened the portal to faith directly to God through internalized perfection (Galatians 3:13).

Already in the beginning of the letter, Paul focuses on the problems of divisions and fractions within the assembly of Corinth. The Corinthians are depicted as potentially disloyal toward Paul, although they are “enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge” (1 Cor. 1.5). To Paul’s knowledge, no specific doctrinal problem avails in Corinth. Paul depicts the character of the Christ-believer as similar to the steward who is faithful (πιστός) to his master (3.10–4.2). Those who will be saved by God are described as those who are faithful (τοὺς πιστεύοντας;

Christians can have a positive impact on society by modeling Christ's character and trying to be agents of positive change. This lesson has significant implications for me in ministry as well as in daily life. I am Christ's representative in the world and I need to demonstrate that love in my interactions, relationships, and daily activities. By offering biblical instruction and cultivating a spirit of cultural awareness and reaction, I need to challenge and equip believers to grapple with the present ethical concerns.

Because of his attribution to the New Testament as writing 13 books in the total of 27 books, Paul even considered himself “as little more than an ambassador or emissary for Jesus” (Powell, 231). Paul is the person who had oppressed the church. After that, on the road to Damascus, when he experienced a rendezvous with Jesus, he became a Christian missionary. Discussing particular theological issues, Paul’s epistles are written to a specific person or a specific group of people. Paul’s epistles are to Romans, two to Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, two to Thessalonians, two to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

Charism plays an important role in both the communal and individual life of a believer. Here Menzies is in agreement that “the rich variety of gifts granted to every believer for the common good appear to be a natural extension of Paul’s larger pnuematological perspective”(Fee, 192). The significant thing to note though is that for Paul the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives is connected to our participation in the body of Christ. As we walk in the Spirit, He produces fruit in our lives. The fruit of the Spirit in our lives is not just individualistic and for personal benefit but for corporate benefit of the body of
