Lesson 5 Review: Faith Against All Odds

Introduction

Memory Text: “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:11, NKJV).

Holding firm to the truth will help us to be different especially in the darkest moment of life, Understanding these eternal truths we must be a reformers of this Generation who will share the good news (Gospel) to the people who are willing and ready to be saved.

In what ways have the Scriptures comforted you in times of trial?

The Reformers saturated their minds with Scripture, They lived by the Word, and many of them died because of the Word. The translation of the scriptures was to reach out to the world that the world should no longer continue in darkness but in the light of God's word that no man may have excuses to give.

what work of faith did apostle Paul give for the time of persecution? 

the early age reformers such as John Wycliffe at all costs despite being under the influence of evil attacks was able to bring the word of God to a simplest meaning, we too have a serious Reformation in our lives, we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth”.

why should we seek  the Holy spirit in our daily lives?

the Holy Spirit which also refers to the comforter which inspires the writers of the Bible helps the believers to get the proper interpretation of the word of God, without the Holy Spirit life is miserable, the Holy Spirit guides us through the path that leads to righteousness. Even in the last days of Earth's history we need the Holy Spirit to cause serious Reformation in our lives and the world at large.

if we are saved by grace, does it involve works of faith? 

for ye are saved by grace not of works lest any man should boast, this is Paul's warning to every Christian Generation letting everyone to know who they are that Christ's perfection makes us to be perfect and Christ's righteousness is ours. Apart from that we could not meet up with the heavenly standards of righteousness thus Christ and grace is the center of Christian Hope.

Does the grace of God makes obedience void?

we are in the battlefield fighting for victory, we can't conquer evil unless we fight against it. during the reformers age the people, despite persecution, gave up their best to make sure the light of God's word reaches everywhere. When they were driven from their homes, they looked for a city whose builder and maker is God and they preferred to obey God rather than man.

what are the dangers of misunderstanding "salvation by grace"?

We encourage the people to withstand valiantly before the throne of the Lord, by faith and prayer so that our enemies vanquished by the Spirit of God, may be strengthened by peace. Lack of Bible study leads to the dangers of Bible ignorance. There is no excuse for anyone who fails to believe or know how God works out the plan of salvation in their lives.

In Conclusion,

The battle between good and evil is on the scale of life, our patraichs and prophets had laid the foundation believing that we too as well should follow. The Lord did not forsake His people and even in this time, the Holy Spirit helps us to stand firm and never to deviate from the path of eternal life. In every age there are people who will stand for Christ till His glorious return, may we be among these people in Jesus' name.
