Q3 (John 1:12-13) What does it mean to "receive" Jesus? What does it imply to "believe in" Jesus? What is the spiritual relationship to God of those who receive and believe in Jesus? Of those who do not. to receive Jesus is to grasp in our minds and being who JESUS is and recognize Jesus's Authority over us. To believe in Jesus is to believe he is true and worthy of our trust and entrust ourselves to Him. We all are Jesus's children of God in that we were created by Jesus. But we must wrap ourselves in Him and become spiritual children of His. Go thru a spiritual rebirth.

Q2. (John 1:7-8) What did it mean that John was sent to "testify" to the light? In what sense are you put here with the purpose of "testifying" to the light? How are you doing in this regard? What happened to John the Baptist? What might happen to you if you testify clearly? What might happen to the people to whom you testify ? when it says John was sent to testify of the light , it means that John was ahead to teach the people living at that time who Jesus was. That Jesus was sent to destroy the darkness satan had dispersed on the earth which was sin in the people and the world. Jesus would be the one God sent to show people how to repent and turn from sin and choose to live lives that led others to want to follow Jesus's teachings. I understand what must be done to show His light to others, yet do not do it consistently. I am a weak & inconsistent witness. John the baptist was killed / beheaded for witnessing plainly. Depending on where you live in the world today we may have consequences from witnessing openly and plainly . these may range from verbal repremands to death in some countries.

I John was sent to testify of Jesus,and Jesus is the light. the purpose we were put here was to comprehend or get to know Jesus as the light and to overcome the darkness,so making us lights to draw other people to Jesus the light.I comprehend the concept , yet am not often enough aware to be the light in a situation and fail to be that light in a dark situation.e John the Baptist was killed by being beheaded for standing up and the king and his wife their marriage was sinful.

In John 20:31 it says " "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life . The bible says it is and so I believe the scriptures and I believe Jesus is fully God ! Just like how I would tell someone who I am,Jesus tells us who He is.The bible says that Jesus is the word. created what He spoke became or began to exist once he spoke it into being. This says that His ministry was to make people aware that He was fully God and fully man. A loving God with forgiveness, He was to bring men to an awareness that they were flawed sinners and also healed some physically.

I feel from what has been presented that there was very strong opposition of Paul's ministry in Thess.due to the fact that there were financial losses in the money made or given to temple. Theywere loseing members and Paul was gaining crowds in his congregation. Also with Paul proclaiming Jesus as another king those Jews opposed to Paul and his teachings found ways to incite against Paul in what they claim is protecting the King( earthly ) one. It affords them a way to agitate and drive them away and build up the temple membership and gain. Paul knows in his heart that Jesus is the tru)e king ( heavenly ) and knows he is preaching a message that will be unpopulaur but knows that he is willing to die for Jesus and to get the message of salvation thru Jesus out to the multitudes... No contravercy should not stop us from continuing on in our ministry. Satan wants the message Jesus has for the world to be stopped. So even thru hard opposition we must suffer to get the Good news message of Salvation to as many as will hear and believe.

The virgin conception teaches us us that Jesus's nature is divine. the divine wrapped up in a shell of humanity. He was human in form but inside He was of the spiritual divine nature. This is central to the christian message because of His divine nature he had theperfection inside to be the perfect sacrifical victim God could use to die and be the sacrifice to free men from the original sin of adam.

The angel Gabriel told Mary that her son would be in a high position, called son of the most High, Given the name Jesus He would be held as superior and closely related to God and the kingdom he would rule would be unending /last forever.

Due to his attitude that miracles just don't happen and wanting God to prove what was said zachariah's reply was of un belief . Where as Mary replied out of faith she asked questions of God but they were out of how this could happen but did not ask for proof just said yes accepting God would do as he said and take her thru the suffering of scorn of what people would think.
