Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church today is in the midst of an identity crisis. Many members of the body of Christ do not yet know who they really are. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, they nevertheless live defeated lives as spiritual paupers, unaware of their legacy: to be born in His image and birthed in His likeness. God's desire is to mold each of His children into masterpieces of His grace, to transform them into the likeness of His Son. A new heart is the key to this transformation. Our hearts must be pure and perfect if we hope to see God, and we receive a new heart only by putting on Christ and allowing Him to transform us into new creatures in His likeness. Our destiny as believers is to be like Him, but we must be totally committed to Him in our heart. Do you want to fulfill your destiny? This book will show you how to leave the mundane behind and ascend to the higher levels of godliness into the very infinite image of Christ to become God's masterpiece! Dr. Donald R. Downing is the apostle for the "gospel of the heart" message to the nations. As God's "heart specialist," he believes that inner heart transformation through faith in Christ is the key to salvation and to fulfilling our destiny as bearers of the image and likeness of Christ. A native of Oklahoma, he now lives in Maryland, where he oversees the Coalition of Hearts Churches internationally.
Download or read book God Created Man in His Image and Likeness written by Oried E. Graves and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who reads the Bible must admit that it tells us to do things that we never have done and cannot do in our fleshly bodies. One reason is that God our Creator is telling us what He wants us to be and do as created in His image and likeness. Our purpose is in our image and likeness of God our Creator, not like the dust of the ground or the flesh of our parents. Most children dont know that they are created in the image and likeness of God, and their parents have not asked God for His spirit for their children so they can be taught this vital truth. The reason parents dont ask God for His spirit for their children is because they dont recognize the need for Him. There are several things mankind cannot do in the flesh, and they must recognize their origin in the image and likeness of God. Mankind must recognize being in the image and likeness of God to, first, love God with all their being and love his neighbors as himself; second, to obey God and his parents as required in Gods word; third, to trust God with all his heart; fourth, to worship God in spirit and in truth; and fifth, to glorify God in his body and spirit, which are God. The devil does not want mankind to know that he is created in the image and likeness of God because man will always defeat Satan and fulfill God's will.

Download or read book When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven written by Rafael Rachel Neis and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book investigates rabbinic treatises relating to animals, humans, and other lifeforms. Through an original analysis of creaturely generation and species classification by late ancient Palestinian rabbis and other thinkers in the Roman empire, Rafael Rachel Neis shows how rabbis blurred the lines between the human and other beings. This they did even as they were intent on classifying creatures and delineating the contours of the human. Recognizing that life proliferates via multiple mechanisms beyond sexual copulation between two heterosexual 'male' and 'female' individuals of the same species, the rabbis produced intricate alternatives. This expansive view of generation included humans. Likewise, in parsing the variety of creatures, the rabbis attended to the overlaps and resemblances across seemingly distinct species, upsetting in turn unmitigated claims of human distinctiveness. Intervening in conversations in animal studies, queer theory, trans theory, and feminist science studies, When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven provincializes sacrosanct ideals of reproduction in favor of a broader range of generation, kinship, and species offering powerful historical alternatives to the paradigms associated with so-called traditional ideas"--

Download or read book The Birth of Jesus written by Elda Sullins and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is God who has spoken to mankind this time through his loving Son, Jesus Christ, who has come to save our souls. This is the one whose birth, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and the greatest commission were accomplished. An ancient promise speaks of a new holy righteous convent, which will be everlasting in order to save the whole world. As a result of the gracious gift of life and the unfailing love of God that never dies, Emmanuel is the promised king messiah, who is going to come and take back the lost relationship between God and his people. Jesus Christ was God's plan to bring heaven to earth to fulfill the ultimate plan of righteousness that has existed since the beginning of time. The Lord has filled every hole in the heart of humanity with his grace. As God's creation, we are created to be able to fulfill the purpose for which he created us by knowing him in an intimate, personal relationship and experiencing real joy and satisfaction in our lives. Adam and Eve were the first man and woman that God created in his image, and they knew this joy in a perfect fellowship with him until they chose to disobey him. Although they tried to cover up their sin, they were unable to avoid the curse that sin has brought to the world as a result of their sin. As God purposed in Romans 5:12, so that they would once again have a right relationship with him, he devised a miraculous master plan. An instruction was given by God to sacrifice a lamb or to sacrifice an animal of a particular type and shed its blood. To make up for the sins of the people, the animal's death would serve as a substitute to compensate for their sins. Although that did remove their sin, it was only a foreshadow of what was to come (Hebrews 9:19-28). It was only to be the fulfillment of what had been promised (Hebrews 10:1-14). By God's will, we have been sanctified, once and for all, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ's body. It is only through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross that sin can be wiped away. In order to achieve permanent forgiveness, God has designed a plan. Due to his great love, God gave of himself in order to ensure our untimely sustainability in John 3:16-17. He offers his Son, Jesus, as the perfect Lamb of God. In the Gospel of John, Christ gives his life on the cross in order to make reconciliation with God eternal. He gave his life in order for us to be forgiven. According to 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, he died for our sins. He is our redemption through his blood, and we are the beneficiaries of his grace through the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his blood (Ephesians 1:7). A new life is given to us by God, who offers us the chance to be saved from the penalty of hell and a future in heaven to give us a new life in him. According to Romans 6:23, Jesus said in John 14:2-3 that he gives them the right to become children of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). When we accept him as our Lord and Savior, we are given a new life in him (John 1:12). In this way, God gave us a new life in him as his child! The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ (John 14-16), according to Romans 5:1. God's plan is a gift that he has offered to each of us, not a reward that will be earned by working to achieve it. Our own sin must be seen as God sees it in Ephesians 2:8-9. Your eternal fate in hell depends on whether you're safe or not. Accept Jesus as your Savior by faith in your heart, and ask God for forgiveness from the depths of your heart. The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10, "You can accept Jesus as your savior right now, by praying directly from your heart."

Download or read book Eastern Christianity in Its Texts written by Cyril Hovorun and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying theological literature produced in the Christian East from the first through the 20th century, Eastern Christianity in its Texts explores different theological themes (analytical and mystical), genres (epistles, treatises, and poetry), and milieux (Greek, Armenian, Western and Eastern Syriac, Russian and Romanian). The book illustrates the evolution of the Orthodox thought, how it influenced and was influenced by intellectual, social, and political environments. It demonstrates a theology in context, and yet displays consistency in the traditions spread through different epochs and countries. The book is divided in five parts, each standing for an epoch with distinct features: formation of the Christian identity in the era before Constantine, golden age of theology in the period of Late Antiquity, the pinnacle of erudism and mysticism in the eastern Middle Ages, wrestling with the Modernity imported from the West in the 18th-19th centuries, and finally theological polyphony in the 20th century.
