New Year's Resolutions Every Christian Should Make By Eric Corpus|

1.    Resolve to stay faithful to Jesus Christ. He is the one Truth, Way and Life (John 14:6) There's no reason to look elsewhere.

2.    Resolve to not let anything – a career, a significant other, social media, a house – become an object of worship. (Exodus 20:3).

3.    Resolve to watch your language and not speak any destructive talk, especially involving the name of God (Eph. 4:29; Exod. 20:7)

4.    Resolve to prevent burnout by putting aside work one day a week. Trust God to provide for your needs that day and just enjoy the time He's given you (Exodus 20:8-11)

5.    Resolve to talk to your parents on a regular basis, and show them love and respect (Ephesians 6:1; Exodus 20:12).

6.    Resolve to be angry less. Channel any feelings of rage, which Jesus said are as severe as murder (Matthew 5:21-22), into worshiping God and serving others.

7.    Resolve to honor your commitment to your spouse. Whether in thought or in deed, stay pure and loyal in the union God made (Matthew 5:8; Genesis 2:18, 24).

8.    Resolve to not take anything that's not yours, including stuff you can hold and put in your pocket, and plenty that you can't, like music downloads, streaming movies and hours on your timecard (Exodus 20:15; Ephesians 4:28; "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." (Romans 12:12)

9.    Resolve to speak about others only with truth and love, not gossip (Ephesians 4:15, 25).

10.                   Resolve to be content with what you have, and not worry about that others are amassing (Hebrews 13:5)

11.                   Resolve to pray every day (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Ephesians 6:18)

12.   Resolve never to do anything but duty, and then according to Eph. 6:6-8, to do it willingly and cheerfully as unto the Lord, and not to man: "knowing that whatever good thing any man doth, the same shall he receive of the Lord."

13.   Resolve to declare my ways to God, and lay open my soul to him: all my sins, temptations, difficulties, sorrows, fears, hopes, desires, and every thing, and every circumstance (Psalm 119).

14.   Resolve to be strictly and firmly faithful to my trust, that that, in Prov. 20:6, "A faithful man who can find?" may not even be remotely found in me.

If these sound familiar, good! SHARE these New Year's resolutions to encourage people to live a life that honors God.

What is the significance of Christ’s resurrection? or What are the Results of Christ's Resurrection?

 

835 Christ’s Resurrection and Ours in ‘Romans’ OR, What is the significance of Christ’s resurrection? See the big picture along with my comments:

  1 The Proof of Christ’s Deity  Rom.1:4  1. To Christ. (a. IT PROVED HIM TO BE THE SON OF GOD, i.e. it emphasizes the deity of Christ, Acts 10:40; Romans 1:4)

                                                        b. IT CONFIRMED THE TRUTH OF ALL HE SAID (Matt. 28:6)

2. To all men

a. It assures of the resurrection of all (1 Cor. 15:20-22)

b. It assures of the coming judgment (Acts 17:31)

3. To believers.

a. It gives assurance of our acceptance with God (Rom. 4:25).  See below.

b. It guarantees power for service (Eph. 1:19-22) or, expanding, it guarantees present-day power and strength (Eph. 1:18-2:10).  It marks the beginning of His lordship over the Church (Eph. 1:19-23). I.e. it designates Christ as Head of the Church (Eph. 1:19-22).

c. It guarantees the believer’s resurrection (2 Cor. 4:14).

  2 The Pledge of our justification  Rom. 4:24,25 (IT GIVES ASSURANCE OF ACCEPTANCE WITH GOD.  It guarantees our justification (Rom. 4:24).

What Does it Mean that God is Omniscient?

Omniscience is an attribute of God alone. It is the quality of having all knowledge (Is. 40:14). Omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience represent the nature of God concerning His relation to the creation.

GodisOmniscient533x400   GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING AND HE SEES EVERYTHING

God sees and knows all things.  In the Old Testament omniscience is expressed in connection with such words as "seeing" and "hearing," "the eye" and "the ear" occur as figures for the knowledge of God, as "arm," "hand," "finger" serve to express His power. In the New Testament are found ginoskein, gnosis, eidenai, and sophia, in the same connections.

God sees all things (Proverbs 15:3) .

He knows the size and scope of the universe (Psalm 147:4).

Jesus said that God the Father knows about the animal creation (Matthew 10:29)

Our Father knows mankind, Jesus said (Matthew 10:30).

He knows our thoughts (Psa. 139:2b; 44:21), words (Ps. 139:4), and deeds (Psa. 139:2a).

God knows our sorrows (Exodus 3:7).

He knows our devotions (Genesis 18:17-19; 22:11-12; 2 Chronicles 16:9—whose hearts are perfect towards Him).

He knows our frailties (Ps. 103:14).

God knows our folly (Ps. 69:5).

He knows His own (John 10:14; 2 Tim. 2:19).

As hinted at above, God knows the past, present, and future (Acts 15:18).

He knows the actual as well as the possible; He knows what might or could have been (Matt. 11:23).

To condense things a bit, key verses relating to the doctrine of omniscience are:

Psalm 147:4–5

⁴      He telleth the number of the stars;

He calleth them all by their names.

⁵      Great is our Lord, and of great power:

^pHis understanding is infinite.

Proverbs 15:3

³      The eyes of the Lord are in every place,

Beholding the evil and the good.

Isaiah 29:15

¹⁵    Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord,

And their works are in the dark,

And they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Matthew 10:28–30

²⁸ And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. ³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Hebrews 4:13

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
