The significance of the confession that "Jesus is Lord" is to make a public declaration and be not ashame to verbally voice this statement. By openly acknowledging Jesus is Lord , it is a binding declaration or contract of our faith in God, and it is stating that Jesus is God. It is necessary for salvation because one has to be fully convinced , be obedient and put all trust in Jesus as Lord. It includes submission and positively and publicly confessing Jesus is Lord.

The implications for governments that Yahweh is King of Kings and Lord of Lords suggest that governments/ nations will be blessed when they acknowledge their Ruler. Should nations reject Yahweh as the supreme King, the nation will be judged harshly because they have rejected the commandments. When a nation remove God from its currency and pledges and ardently secularising national life, it becomes a God-less society. There are no morals , and standards are compromise. It undermines God's supremacy and commandments. Many of society 's moral laws are based on the Decalogue So to remove God , would be to embrace a corrupt society, a society like Sodom and Gomorrah. A nation without God is a nation in distress facing spiritual and physical warfare.

The personal implications of Yahweh being my King and Jesus being the Messiah sent from God is to know God personally. To have a relationship with him. Yahweh as my King, signifies he is my ruler and does not make laws and later break them. He is consistent and constant. He is justice and truth and is the supreme Ruler over everything that I do. I believe that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords; he is God who was manifested in flesh.therefore the laws and rules are the same yesterday, today and forever. The advantages of being the subject of Yahweh as king are his promises to me are sure; he is my rock and my provider. My submission to the King on an everyday basis means I can talk to him, walk with him and leave my burdens with him. He is trustworthy and offers protection and comfort when everyone fails. I hon our him and try to live by faith in him as Abraham and others did.A person reject Yahweh because they don't know about his love and commandments.

In the Old Testament tithing was was an appreciation and acceptance that God is King . It also acknowledged that God is the Provider. It was an act of responsibility and a sign of gratitude to pay respect to the king who made provision for all things. When Christians of the New Covenant tithe we are believing that God is our King and our Provider and he will supply all our needs. By tithing we are maintaining the ministry and supporting the vulnerable.

Justice is fairly distributing to someone what they deserve . Mercy is forgiveness . It is not giving someone the punishment they deserve. Vengeance is fairly executing justice. Yes, a holy and righteous God can justly forgive sins without punishing them through the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus took our punish to save us from damnation. Jesus died a shameful death so that we might be redeemed. When we ask for mercy our Heavenly Father draws us closer to the cross.

A Christian's commitment to social justice in our community should be one of compassion and generosity. As outlined in various texts in both the old and New Testament eg Exodus 22:22 and Deutoronomy 10:18. God defends the cause of the fatherless and widows , and he loves the alien giving him food and clothing. We also know that he who oppresses the poor shows contempt for our Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Yahweh . Proverbs 14:31) Finally, Matthew 25:36 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat......... Our actions should be to help others . We can do this by visiting institutions, homes so as to offer our support whether it be emotional or financial.

We can know and understand the Righteous and upright God by having a relationship with him. We can show our love for him and help others to understand by walking in his ways and keeping the commandments. If we delay truth ,we deny the Upright or Just One. Truth in different culture varies therefore, truth in one culture may not be truth in another . We can declare God and his son Jesus Christ in a relativistic world by following their commands. We must try not to be caught up in Cultiral relativism. As Christians we value all people regardless of who they are. Truth is not subjective John 17:17 Truth is absolute and there does exist a moral standard to which all people of the world will be held accountable. Revelation 20:11-12

Isaiah's realization of God's holiness has affected him spiritually and emotionally. He has a feeling of unworthiness and unclean. Isaiah is afraid because of uncleanliness and lack of purity before God. God makes Isaiah holy by cleansing him by way of a seraphim touching his lips with hot coals from the altar. Since the altar is holy and pure, the hot coal is a symbol of purification and atonement.isaiah's guilt is taken away.

Q3. I found 7 in psalm 95. The Psalmist call on us to worship and praise our Creator. These actions are appropriate to show our gratitude and acknowledgement of the one who created us.

Q2. What inherent rights does a Potter,Creator or Maker have over his what he has created? Because he exists in what he has created. We are the masterpiece beautifully made and formed in his image.He can use us as an instrument for whatever purpose he desires. How should that affect our lives,our self image, or sense of purpose? Because our God is Good, so whatever he has created is good.We need to believe and see the positivity in ourselves by giving God thanks.

Q1. (Isaiah 45:9-12) Why is it rediculous for the pot to second guess the potter. Second guessing what should have been or would have been is simply being ungrateful and a waste of time and energy. The potter has much thought and creativity to produce the work of art. He knows how he wants the end product to look like. The pot would not have existed without the handiwork of the potter. How do we Christians do this? We christians are never content. We allow evil to take over our lives causing us to express ingratitude.We are never happy with how we are and wish to be like someone else. What is a better attitude and behaviour before our God? To humble ourselves and praise God for our mercies and blessings.Thanking him for the way we are created.

David was truly anointed.He was blessed with courage and wisdom.He believed that if he could defeat a lion and a bear,his God would deliver Israel from the philistines through him.We see how David put all his trust in God and believed in his saving grace.He was not afraid because God was with him an on their side. if we disrespect Yahweh, by idolatry or defile him by any other means he will show vengence. Yet he is a God of love and compassion and a judge.
