A Christ-centered faith

By -

He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.”– 2 Corinthians 5:15.

  1. Belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God: Christ-centered faith starts with the foundational belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of humanity. This belief is based on the teachings of the Bible, the central religious text of Christianity.
  2. Redemption and Salvation: A Christ-centered faith underscores the concept of redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ. It teaches that through His death and resurrection, Jesus provided a way for humanity to be reconciled with God and attain eternal life.
  3. Following the Teachings of Jesus: Those who embrace a Christ-centered faith strive to follow the moral and ethical teachings of Jesus as found in the New Testament of the Bible. This often includes principles such as love, forgiveness, compassion, and serving others.
  4. Worship and Prayer: Worship and prayer are essential components of a Christ-centered faith. Followers of Christ gather in churches or other places of worship to pray, sing hymns, and seek spiritual guidance.
  5. Community and Fellowship: Many Christ-centered faith traditions emphasize the importance of community and fellowship among believers. This can involve participating in religious gatherings, joining small groups, and supporting one another in their faith journeys.
  6. Scripture: The Bible, which includes the Old and New Testaments, serves as the primary source of guidance and inspiration for those with a Christ-centered faith. The New Testament, in particular, contains the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
  7. Moral and Ethical Living: A Christ-centered faith encourages adherents to live according to a set of moral and ethical principles rooted in the teachings of Jesus. This often includes principles of honesty, integrity, humility, and selflessness.

It's important to note that within Christianity, there are various denominations and interpretations of Christ-centered faith, which may have differing beliefs and practices. Some of the major Christian denominations include Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy, each with its own specific doctrines and traditions while sharing a central focus on Jesus Christ.

Ultimately, a Christ-centered faith is characterized by a deep personal relationship with Jesus and a commitment to following His example in daily life.

How Do We Pray Effective Prayers?

In these uncertain times, prayer is essential. It is our greatest form of communication with a holy God, who has provided a way for us to not only worship Him but to know Him personally. Through prayer, we discover the depths of God’s mercy and love for us. It is also where we confess our sin and receive His forgiveness. . Still, many avoid prayer. Rather than becoming an opportunity to be cleansed and to fellowship with God, prayer becomes a joyless duty. Perhaps this is because some have never learned the secret of powerful and effective prayers. The question then becomes, “How do we pray effective prayers?” . The Bible tells us, “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James  5:16 ).  If being a righteous man or woman is the key to powerful and effective prayer, what are the characteristics of a righteous person? . A righteous person is a person who is in right-standing with God. A righteous person has a personal relationship with Jesus as his or her personal Sa

Is God always absent from the equation when you worry? In Luke 9:12-17, there was not only enough to feed the multitude, but there was also a lot left over. Consider the followings passage and how it applies to a mind-set of abundance. What can you  do to help yourself maintain a mind-set of abundance through-out the day?

Crucifixion was an ancient method of execution in which the victim's hands and feet were bound and nailed to a cross . There was a strong social stigma associated with crucifixion, a punishment reserved for traitors, captive armies, slaves and the worst of criminals. Detailed descriptions of crucifixions are few, perhaps because secular historians could not bear to describe the gruesome events of this horrible practice. However, archaeological finds from first century Palestine have shed a great deal of light on this early form of death penalty.   Four basic structures or types of crosses were used for crucifixions: Crux Simplex Image: Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) Crux Simplex was a single upright stake or post upon which the victim was tied or impaled. It was the simplest, most primitive cross used for capitol punishment of criminals.
