The standard of our behavior is that we are a prisoner of God. The calling is to live a life worthy of the calling that was given to me and a behavior that is a credit to God service.

I beleive that when we throw out mans agendas/man made religious and all of it s programs the Holy Spirit can have it way, and then God can come and dwell with His people!

This is not a one-time experience but a continual realityday by day.

I think that it could be pride and being self-centered. One cannot comprehend His lovewhen we are like this. When I take my mind off of self and make it Christ centered than I can be a better person.

I believe they say the same thing.

Praise the Lord, we can approach God with boldness and with confidence!

Because he was a sinner, an enmey of the church, but Juses came and saved him, God bless (given) him with the gift to preach the good news about Jesus Christ. We should never forget what Jesus has saved us from. We were living a life of sin at one time.

That Gentiles are now equally the people of God with God's chosen people, the Jews. Because they were always looked down on like second-class citizens.

God's word is given through them to us, it is "God-breathed." When we stray from Gods word it will leads us to sin and death.

When we come together as christians we create a dwelling place for God. When we do not come to church, and do not fellowship with other christians. Come together with my church family and show love to one another.

We are citizen in God's kingdom, we now have a right standing with God, we have privilege.

The ceremonial law became obsolete that Jesus came to earth as a baby and thru his death, His sacrifice.

I think that if you are not fully in Christ and not not living the christian walk, what I mean is that some may go to church every week and accepted Christ but is not living fully in him (they still have some of the world in them), so I think this would make it hard to witness. The spiritual condition of friends or co-workers who does not know Christ is dead.

Faith is the confidence that what we pray for will actually happen. Believing every word and promise that God has said to us. Can we take credit for having faith? I do not believe yes and no. The Bible say that we are all given a measure of faith, so it up to us to use it, to stir up the gift of faith that is in us, the more we use it the more that our faith will grow.

We were created first to worship God and then in Eph. 2:10, to do good works, to give glory and honor to God, so that men will see our good works and they will glorfiy God. There are times when people do works in the flesh for they can be seen, and for they can boast in what they are doing. The works in V.10 is working for God, to glorfiy God, not ourselves.

I believe because grace is an act of love and that is given to us freely. Sometimes it is hard to receive love when we had came from a home with no or little of love or we don't feel love nor did not have love in our heart before we were saved. To accept anything that is free is hard for some people because sometime whoever that is giving the gift is looking for something in return. That is why some is hard to understand God's grace.

Saved means that I was rescued, that I was set free from danger, harm, from my sins.

His great love; rich in mercy. Made us alive in Christ.

After the fall of Adam and Eve sin enter into the world, therefore man was born into sin, we have a sin nature. God has given man a free will, man can chose right or wrong. In this day-n-age everyone is doing his/her own thing. The things of this world looks fun and beauitful. There is no knowledge of God nor His Laws. Just like Paul said in Romans 3:18, "There is no fear of God before their eyes." When we do not follow/obey God Laws we are unwitting rebellion against God. Because we have some knowledge about good and evil, God has given us the chance to turn to Him, to repent. God is a mercyful God. I like what Paul says in Romans 1:18-20, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." This is the same for the rightous man as well who [thinks] that he is without sin. We are without excuse! In Romans 2:6 it states that.."God

The non-believers are dead spiritually. They are spiritually dead and separated from God, but we are alive in Christ Jesus. We should share the Gospel with them, explain to them about sin, God's love, His forgiveness and His wrath.

I believe when we are absent from corporate worship we miss out on the opportunity to grow and mature. We are bless to be a blessing to others, so we miss out on blessing others, ministering to others, to the lost, the hurting or even encouraging someone with a kind/wise word or with a smile. The church is the body and we are one, God has bless us all with difference gifts to bless the church. Our absence from church, these gifts will go not being use, it will go to waste.

I believe it is the lack of faith we have in God, and because of fear, also we do not have enough knowledge or teaching on spiritual warfare. Jesus is the victor over all things and He left this power to us as well. When we are in Christ we walk in victory as well. We feel powerless is because we are trying to do all in our own strength and not relying on Jesus strength. Paul was encouraging the Ephesians by letting them see how much power Jesus has and that they can have the same power as well. This encourage me to walk in more faith, to use the tools that Jesus left me (spiritual armor), and to remember Jesus promise to me in Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

(1) Because it is the lack of our faith. (2) It is our faith. (3) Because some congregations has a strong belief and teach about faith.

(1) Yes! (2) I should keep my eyes on Jesus Christ and His return. (3) Sharing our inheritance with the saints will be great.

(1). The hope of Jesus return and being with Him. (2). This hope is a major motivation because that my future with Jesus will be better. (3). That I should live in great expectation of Christ return and busy sharing the Gospel to the lost for they may have this hope as well. (4). Because our hope is in Jesus Christ, His return and spending eternal life with Him, where the non-believer has no hope nor future, the only future they have is eternal hell.
