The End Times vs The Last Days of The Bible

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

        Good Day Everyone!! This is a comparison and contrast paper that is based on the End of Times vs The Last Days.  I would like to start things off by asking everyone a very important question.

 What do we mean by the End Times and the Last Days?  The first thing that comes to mind is the end of the world.  It literally scares me because I would not want all of this to come to an end.  I know that the Son of Man, who is Jesus Christ is coming soon.  We have to be patient and wait on Him.  I am doing just that right now.  I am waiting on the Lord.

        Next, I am patiently waiting on Him by maintaining my faith in the Lord.  My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am from Dayton, Ohio.  I am placing emphasis on the End Times vs The Last Days.  When it comes to the End Times, Jesus was talking to His Disciples by letting them know that the end is not here.  When it comes to Matthew’s Interpretation of the End of Times, his account is very specific.  There are Greek and Hebrew interpretations when it comes to the very end.  At least, for me, I am looking for additional insight when it comes to the very end of the system of things.  Every time I read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, my thinking tends to change.  This is because Matthew was very specific about the things that Jesus Christ has said to the Disciples that they must do these things. 

        Further, I want to say that I am utilizing all four Gospels so that I can receive a dialogue among my colleagues and members of the General Public.  Honestly, what is being said by the Disciples has made me more aware of my surroundings and the people that is inside of it.  I also have to pay real attention to my behavior.  I know that I am trying to explain some things that are happening right now, and the things to come.

I have to become fully aware of the things that in the above image.  I know that there will be false Christs, False Prophets, Earthquakes, Wars, Rumors of Wars, Nation vs Nation, and Kingdoms vs Kingdoms.  I am aware of earthquakes in the State of Ohio this year as well as 15 Tornadoes in the Dayton, Ohio Area.  These are the things that are happening right now, and the Last Days are forthcoming.  To be frank with everyone, both of these events are happening simultaneously.

        The image that I have posted right now is from The Rapture.  I have seen things that have occurred in my 54 years of existence, and it has changed tremendously since 1980. 

This information itself has also been talked about in the Old Testament.  I want to say that every time I read the Book of Isaiah, Daniel, and Micah, it has been talked about in advance.  I am very apprehensive not about the present, but the future.  I get the impression that this is going to get worse before it gets better.

        Moreover, I only wish that I can see the Lord for myself.  I do not have any doubts about my faith in the Lord.  Like they say, nothing last forever.  I realize that this is a very long paper, but I feel confident in my attempts to come to a swift conclusion.  When it comes to the End Times, family members will kill family members as well.  Brother will go against brother; whereas sisters will go against each other as well.  I know that I have to do my very best to live for the Lord Jesus Christ.  I am not perfect, but I will say that I am living for Him. 

In Addition, I want to say that Mark 13^th Chapter is a repeat of what Jesus Christ told His Disciples regarding the End of Times.  There will be random acts of violence everywhere worldwide.  Mark 13^th Chapter is written differently.  I get the impression that the audience that this is written for is different. 

For False Christs and False Prophets shall rise and show signs and wonders to try to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.  Members of the Church will be confused by these people who claim to be Prophets and a Christ that is fake.  This is the reason why I am reading the Bible and observing the things with my eyes to see for myself. 

        Finally, I want to mention the Last Days because I have spent too much time on the End of Times.  The Last Days are going to be much worse than the End Times.  This means that everything that is mentioned inside of the Bible will take place.  I know that for me personally, I want to see the Lord for myself.

 It really scares me to see creatures that are dwelling among the people of the earth to destroy them.  I am very apprehensive because if I see a creature that is abnormal dwelling inside of this earth, it would really frighten me.  If it is inside of the Bible, God will have to allow me to survive all of these things.

        In Conclusion, I am praying that I will survive all of this.  I know for myself that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be a glorious appearance.  My prayer is that I can see the Lord for myself.  All of what I have been reading as of late has completely changed me for the better.  When it comes to the Last Days, things are going to be so bad that the safest place to be at is inside of the Church.  There are times when people lock the doors of the Church.  There is a profound fear that people are going to change for the worse.

        In Summary, I want to inform all of you that we are living inside of a changing society.  I want to say that Jesus Presence is apparent to me and for everyone.  In reference to the End Times and the Last Days, I have to watch and be very careful of people, places, and things. 

Is It True That We are Supposed to Think Before We Act?

        Praise The Lord Everyone!!  I have a very important question to ask all of you.  Is it true that we are supposed to think before we act?  The answer to this question is yes.  I know that all of us have our personal storms that we are going through in our lives.  I realize that my way of thinking has changed for the better.  For Example, I ponder in advance before I do anything in life. 

        Next, I want to inform all of you that I have the Holy Spirit inside of me.  This means that God has all of us in check!!  I am a type of person who is quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.  This means that I am supposed to hear what the next person is saying.

 I am supposed to wait for the inner voice of the Lord to communicate with me.  I must be slow to speak because I am supposed to think about what the Holy Spirit is saying to me.  However, I am a person who will meditate on my issues in advance before I act out in any way. 

        Further, I want to say that this Bible verse in Proverbs 15:1 makes me really think about some of the situations that I used to be a very angry person inside.  From 1972 until 1990, I used to have a lot of inside anger.  Whereas, right now, I have changed my whole outlook on life.  My personal outlook on life has a lot to do with the plans that God has for me.  I really watch my words a whole lot because I do not want to get into trouble anymore.

        Moreover, are we supposed to think before we act all of the time?  The answer is yes.  I am saying yes because there are certain people who do not think about their actions before acting on them.  I know for me, I am very humble in my spirit.  Do ye not know that your temple is the living God and the Holy Spirit is inside of you?  The Holy Spirit has been inside of me all of my life.  I know that my attitude and my actions are different.  An attitude is a state of mind or a particular feeling. 

        In Addition, I want to say that my life belongs to Jesus Christ right now.  I am saying this because it is Jesus Christ who is doing for me; more than I am doing for myself.   I say that we are supposed to think before we act all of the time.  At least for me, it will keep me out of trouble.  I love the Lord because he has never stopped loving me.  I will admit that I love everyone because all of us are Children of God.  My parents used to tell me to always follow the Lord. 

Also, I want to say that we are always supposed to think before we act because it is God’s Way of slowing all of us down during our personal conflicts.  I know for me personally, I thank Him every single day when I get up in the morning, afternoon, and at night.  1^st Thessalonians 5:17 says Pray without ceasing!!  I pray every single day for deliverance.  I pray for peace, and healing for all people.  I want to inform all of you that God has been blessing me for many years now.  This is because I ask God to reside with me every single day.

        Finally, I want to say that I have to think about the things in the same way that Jesus Christ has done.  I have to imitate the behavior of Our Savior Jesus Christ.  I know that celebrating the New Year is a pagan holiday.  I also know that during the time that before my ancestors were officially free inside of the United States during slavery, the slaves attended church for watch services.  The miracle has happened when President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves during the Emancipation of Proclaimation Speech on January 1, 1863.  The slaves in certain Southern States were freed.

        In Conclusion, I want to say that my way of thinking has completely changed for the better.  I am very happy that I have Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior right now.  My spirit is overjoyed.  I really have to apologize to my family members for the things that I have done wrong to them.  Do you have to think before you act?  Yes, my way of thinking has changed for the better.  The Lord is on my side right now.  When God is for you, who can be against you?  What is the definition of the word think mean?  The definition of the word think is have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something. “she thought that nothing would be the same again” direct one’s mind toward someone or something; use one’s mind actively to form connected ideas.

What Does Colossians 4:2 Mean?

        Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I really love this Bible verse.  It is something that I am supposed to do each day of my life.  I am a whole lot happier right now than in the past.  I am spending quality time in prayer to my personal Savior Jesus Christ.  I am always willing to consult with Jesus Christ more than with people.  As soon as I read His Word, it talks to me.

        Next, I want to inform everyone that we are supposed to be aware of who we are talking to.  I know that Satan is very busy.  I am saying this because I was distracted for 10 years now.  The voices that I hear are those of demonic spirits.  This is the reason why I feel that Jesus Christ is working with me indirectly because of the interference of the evil one.  I know that it is very important for me to pray all of the time.  According to 1^st Thessalonians 5:17 says pray without ceasing.  I stay in prayer all of the time.

        Further, I am the type of person who always pray.  I have to pray because I am a person who is too nice.  I am a person that is very accepting of other people.  I pray to Jesus Christ at least 8 or more times per day.  Jesus Christ is hearing my prayers.  He knows exactly what I need long before I ask Him.  Jesus Christ has a life for me because I am only a Work In Progress. 

        Moreover, I want to say that I love all of you who are reading my information every single day.  I love all of those people who do not read my information.  I am focusing on the good right now.  I am focusing on the Holy Spirit.  I am talking to Jesus Christ about my manuscripts that I have copyrighted this year.  I am very happy that I have the opportunity to smile.  I will admit that I can talk loud, but I am a very peaceful person inside.  I am humble, sincere, kind, gentle, and respectful.  I am very helpful as well.  When it comes to my prayer life, Jesus is making things happen for me in a positive manner. 

        In Addition, I want to say that I am taking time to enjoy the Lord Jesus Christ.  I am jubilant because I am a very patient person.  It is the Lord Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.  I love to write inside of my journal the things that I have done in a positive manner.  My family members and friends respect me, and they love me because I am always there for them.  I love to talk to the Lord Jesus Christ because He knows me from the inside out.  I am always searching for peace in my life.  If you do not have peace with yourself, then you will not have peace with others.

        Finally, I want to say that I really love talking to Jesus Christ.  I remember when there was a time when I used to stay frustrated with myself.  I want to say that God is showing me how to do things.  We are called to be fruitful.  I want to inform all of you that I am helping people at a pace so that I can preserve my sanity.  God always wants me to read His Word.  He always want all of us to be just like Him.  We have to have the mindset of Christ Jesus.  I am more content with myself than I was last year.  I want to have peace!!

Dear God, sometimes it can be hard to be patient in this world. When everything seems to be going wrong in my life, I find myself feeling distressed. Lord, help me in these times to be patient as I trust in you and continue to move forward. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Titus 2

Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel

1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.

2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness

8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,

10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.

12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

Titus 2 Commentary

Chapter 2

The duties which become sound doctrine. (1-8) Believing servants must be obedient. (9,10) All is enforced from the holy design of the gospel, which concerns all believers. (11-15)

Verses 1-8 Old disciples of Christ must behave in every thing agreeably to the Christian doctrine. That the aged men be sober; not thinking that the decays of nature will justify any excess; but seeking comfort from nearer communion with God, not from any undue indulgence. Faith works by, and must be seen in love, of God for himself, and of men for God’s sake. Aged persons are apt to be peevish and fretful; therefore need to be on their guard. Though there is not express Scripture for every word, or look, yet there are general rules, according to which all must be ordered. Young women must be sober and discreet; for many expose themselves to fatal temptations by what at first might be only want of discretion. The reason is added, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Failures in duties greatly reproach Christianity. Young men are apt to be eager and thoughtless, therefore must be earnestly called upon to be sober-minded: there are more young people ruined by pride than by any other sin. Every godly man’s endeavour must be to stop the mouths of adversaries. Let thine own conscience answer for thine uprightness. What a glory is it for a Christian, when that mouth which would fain open itself against him, cannot find any evil in him to speak of!

Verses 9-10 Servants must know and do their duty to their earthly masters, with a reference to their heavenly one. In serving an earthly master according to Christ’s will, He is served; such shall be rewarded by him. Not giving disrespectful or provoking language; but to take a check or reproof with silence, not making confident or bold replies. When conscious of a fault, to excuse or justify it, doubles it. Never putting to their own use that which is their master’s, nor wasting the goods they are trusted with. Showing all good fidelity to improve a master’s goods, and promote his thriving. If ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? ( Luke 16:12 ) . True religion is an honour to the professors of it; and they should adorn it in all things.

Verses 11-15 The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel, is for all ranks and conditions of men. It teaches to forsake sin; to have no more to do with it. An earthly, sensual conversation suits not a heavenly calling. It teaches to make conscience of that which is good. We must look to God in Christ, as the object of our hope and worship. A gospel conversation must be a godly conversation. See our duty in a very few words; denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously, and godly, notwithstanding all snares, temptations, corrupt examples, ill usage, and what remains of sin in the believer’s heart, with all their hinderances. It teaches to look for the glories of another world. At, and in, the glorious appearing of Christ, the blessed hope of Christians will be complete: To bring us to holiness and happiness was the end of Christ’s death. Jesus Christ, that great God and our Saviour, who saves not only as God, much less as Man alone; but as God-man, two natures in one person. He loved us, and gave himself for us; and what can we do less than love and give up ourselves to him! Redemption from sin and sanctification of the nature go together, and make a peculiar people unto God, free from guilt and condemnation, and purified by the Holy Spirit. All Scripture is profitable. Here is what will furnish for all parts of duty, and the right discharge of them. Let us inquire whether our whole dependence is placed upon that grace which saves the lost, pardons the guilty, and sanctifies the unclean. And the further we are removed from boasting of fancied good works, or trusting in them, so that we glory in Christ alone, the more zealous shall we be to abound in real good works.

Chapter Summary

INTRODUCTION TO TITUS 2

In this chapter the apostle exhorts Timothy to the discharge of his office with respect to all sorts of persons, of every age, sex; and condition, he was concerned with, giving reasons for it, taken from the nature of the Gospel of Christ: he exhorts him in general to insist in his public ministry on those things, which were agreeable to sound doctrine, Tit 2:1 and particularly what became aged men and aged women, and young men and young women, Tit 2:2-6 in all which, both with respect to doctrine and practice, he desires him to be a pattern to them, that so even his very adversaries may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of him, Tit 2:7,8. And next he charges him to exhort servants, to obey their masters, and seek to please them, and not contradict them, and to be faithful to them; that so the doctrine of God their Saviour, professed by them, might be adorned in all things, Tit 2:9,10. And the reasons why the apostle would have duty urged on persons of every age, sex, and state, are taken from the nature of the Gospel being a doctrine of grace and salvation, which was preached to all sorts of persons, Tit 2:11, and from the efficacy of it, in teaching men to deny sin, and live a holy life and conversation, Tit 2:12 and from an expectation of eternal glory and happiness at the appearance of Christ, which the Gospel encourages to, Tit 2:13; and from the end of Christ’s giving himself for his people, and redeeming them from sin, the sum and substance of the Gospel, which was, that they might be purified, and be zealous of good works, Tit 2:14 and these exhortations were to be delivered by Titus with authority, and in such a manner, that he might not be despised, Tit 2:15.

The Word of the Lord

This is an essay that pertains to the Word of the Lord. What is the Word of the Lord? The Word of the Lord is very pure, precious, gentle, and true. According to Ephesians 6:17: And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. The Word of the Lord applies to all of us. For example, when I think of the Word of the Lord, I think of John 1:1 which states that in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. In Psalms 19:10; it states that the Word of the Lord is more to be desired are like gold sweeter also than honey. The first thing I do before reading the Word of God is pray. I ask God to give me the wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to interpret His glorious word.

 I thank Him for also talking to me by the words of His glorious book, which is the Bible. Next, I want to inform all of you that the Word of God heals my soul. Whenever, I hear the words, I am healed from all of my pain. The Lord also knows my name. The things in my life have never been the same, since I read His word. This is simply because a change is coming. The word of the Lord has been spoken for over 2000 years. These words are the same yesterday, today and forever. I enjoy reading the Bible because it helps me to understand everything that I am going through will only last for only a period of time.

Moreover, the Word of the Lord is everlasting to everlasting because it will never change. It gives me the tools that I need to change my overall behavior. I will admit that I had to bump my head a few times in order to get my life right. The Word of the Lord brings simplicity out of my life. It makes my life much easier when I am reading God’s Word.

The above Bible verse means that God will always give me safety and refuge from all wickedness. Proverbs 16:24 says pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healthy to the bones. The Word of the Lord is delicious to the taste, and it delights my soul and spirit. Psalms 19:9 says the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. This means that everything that comes out of the Bible is the truth. There are over 5,500 promises inside of the Bible.

Moreover, when the Lord says something, He really mean it. The Lord is good to everyone. The Lord tells us how good He really is all of the time. The Word of the Lord is amazing and powerful. I have to say that after reading Hebrews 4:12, I can say that God really understand us extremely well. He knew us while we were inside of our mother’s womb. 
He even knows how long we are going to live. The lord is very nice and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. Hebrews 4:13 says 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.

This is one of my spiritual gifts because I am gifted in revealing to others about the Lord. The Word of the Lord gives me the ability to share with other fellow believers and others my personal story. God’s Word helps me to understand everything that is going on in my personal life as well as with everything else. The Word of the Lord gives me knowledge, truth, and wisdom. I am willing to share His Word with everyone that I come in contact with. My primary intentions are to comfort and encourage others to rely on God for all of their needs.

It is my desire to write this essay in order to enlighten as well as provide everyone with a sense of peace and serenity in their lives. I love all of you very much. Please take care of yourselves. May the God of Peace be with you? I would like to end this essay by reciting the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change; courage to change the things that I can, and give me the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking as He did this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make things right, if I surrender to your will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen!!

What does it mean to Do Things in Order?

        Good Day Everyone!! I would like to start this essay off by asking one question.  What does it mean to do things in order? First, let’s obtain the definition of the word order.  The definition of the word order is the sequence of words in a sentence, especially as governed by grammatical rules and as affecting meaning.  Another definition of the word order has a lot to do with setting boundaries and limits when it comes to behavior. 

        Next, I want to add that order when it comes to the Bible has a lot to do with obeying God’s word.  I know that when a child is growing up, they learn how to do certain things from being around their parents.  For example, a child is supposed to listen to their parents, and others that are involved in their life.  As long as the guidance is conducted in a positive manner. When it comes to following God’s word, it is imperative for all of us as human beings to listen and obey God in the same way we did our earthly parents. 

        Moreover, I want to inform everyone that I am a Born Again Christian man who adheres to God’s Holy word.  I will admit that I am not perfect.  I will say that I am a follower and a doer of the word of God.  Some might judge me and say that I am a borderline Christian.  I do not view myself as being inadequate in any way.  It is that I will admit that I have allowed myself to fall for the foolishness of this world.

        In Addition, I would like to apologize to everyone for the things that I have been doing that were distasteful to God Himself.  Like they say, only God can judge me.  Mankind only have an opinion about me as a person.  God has the final word.  I would like to say that I am a very good person who has a lot of common sense.  I also want to mention that it is our job to do the Great Commission.  I will say this that I still need help and prayer along in my journey to serve the Lord and spread the latter rains to everyone that I come in contact with each day of my life.

        Finally, I want to mention to everyone that our bodies belong to God.  Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit; that is inside of me right now.  Therefore, I am me and I am okay with myself today because I believe in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I have been clean and sober from alcohol and drugs for the past 28 years.  My sobriety date is May 2, 1990.  I take my recovery and life very seriously.  I love all of you very much as people.  I love all of you in the same way that Jesus Christ loves everyone.  I will say that I am a human being and a Child of God first and foremost.

        In Conclusion, I want to say that the poem that I have on the next page pertains to all people.  It is called the I am Me Poem.  When it comes to maintaining order for God, I take that very seriously.  Order to me gives me an opportunity to get things right before I leave earth.  I know that I have had a lot of things to do in order to change for the better.  I am very happy to have Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.

Is It True That We Have To Forgive Each Person 490 Times?

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

        Praise The Lord Everyone!! Praise The Lord!! How are all of you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I have a very important question to ask all of you.  Is it true that we have to forgive each person 490 times?  The answer to this question is yes.  We have to forgive everyone for what each person have done to you.

 I used to have a problem with forgiveness a long time ago.  This is because I used to get abused and neglected as a child as well as an adult.  I want to let everyone know that it is not very easy apologizing and accepting apologies from other people.  I feel good right now because I have learned how to forgive others while attending church as a child.  At first, I used to get upset when others have hurt me.  I used to run away from God.  It is very serious when it comes to forgiveness.  This means that I have to forgive each person living on this earth 490 times.  I literally understand right now what it takes to accept other people.  I meditated on this topic before I decided to type it.

        Next, I am very happy that I am the person that I am right now because I have learned a brand new behavior.  It is called forgiving other people.  The first thing that I had to do is ask God for forgiveness in all of my sins.  I have to ask God to accept me as I am as a human being.  God really loves me.  He literally loves all of us. 

        Further, I had to confess with my mouth to the Lord Jesus and believe it inside of my heart.  I really believe that God had raised Jesus Christ from the dead: You will be saved.  I am just happy that I have learned a new behavior, and it makes the Lord very happy that I am forgiving others, and accepting each other in love. 

I have to realize that I really have to be very careful when it comes to dealing with my own emotions.  I have come to the realization that I am a brand new creation in Christ Jesus.  He will never leave you, nor forsake you.  I am very happy that I have Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior.  The very thing that I am doing is imitating the behavior of Jesus Christ.  I know that it is not going to be an easy journey: However, God is with me!  I also have to give other people credit for molding and shaping my overall behavior.  God works through people.  There have been people that were involved in my life; just to see me do something positive in my life.

        Moreover, I want to inform all of you that I know that I have to give an account of myself to God.  The reason why I said 490 times is simply because 70X7=490.  I have been doing the math.  It is that God is watching all of us from heaven.  I will admit that I had to take Anger Management classes for a total of 8 years.  I had to learn how to get my emotions in check.  I understand that God is doing for us more than we are doing for ourselves.  This is a fact of life that God is doing for all of us. 

        In Addition, I really love all of you very much.  Do you know that God gives us instructions even while we are sleeping inside of our bed at night?  God speaks to us in many, many ways.  I am so excited to share this information because I want others to change for the better.  I am not a self-righteous person.  I am a person who accepts everyone as Children of God.  Is it true that we have to forgive other people 490 times?  The answer is a definite yes.

 I want to inform everyone that we all have the Holy Spirit inside of us.  I want to say that 1^st Corinthians 3:16 says: Do you not know that you are the Temple of The Living God, and the Holy Spirit dwells inside of us?  This is the truth.  I am so thrilled to help others like I was helped before by other people.  I am so happy that I am blessed each day when I get up, and each day when I lay down on top of my bed. 

Also, I want to say that God is with me every single day of the week.  I just want everyone to please keep me in your prayers because I want to live according to the Word of God.  What is the definition of the word forgive?  The answer to this question is stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake. “I don’t think I’ll ever forgive David for the way he treated her” stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for (an offense, flaw, or mistake).”He was not a man who found it easy to forgive and forget” cancel (a debt).”He proposed that their debts should be forgiven“. What is the biblical meaning of forgiveness?

The Bible has plenty to say about forgiveness. … The Greek word translated as “forgive” in the New Testament, aphiēmi, carried a wide range of meanings, including to remit (a debt), to leave (something or someone) alone, to allow (an action), to leave, to send away, to desert or abandon, and even to divorce.  I had to let go of self and live for Jesus Christ.

            Finally, I had to learn to allow God to help me to let go of the things from my past.  I am just happy and ready to serve Jesus Christ.  Forgiveness when it comes to the 490 times thing is endless.  All that I am really saying that we have to forgive others on a regular basis.  This is a life- long process.  It takes a lot of progress and effort on our part when it comes to making a difference in the lives of others.  I am a very nice person, who have come a very long way in my personal life.  I had to forgive people for taking advantage of me.  In some cases, I put myself in that situation for others to oppress me.  I have to examine my role in all of my doings. 

        In Conclusion, please remember to always think before your act.  I have to consider all of my ways by thinking before I decide to do anything.  It only takes a thought that would cause all of us to react in a positive or negative manner.  Is it true that we have to forgive each person 490 times?  Absolutely!!  This is a life-long process that lasts forever.  We are being watched by God and His Son Jesus Christ on a daily basis.  Thank you for reading my essay.

Are We Redeemed?

By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins

        Praise The Lord Saints!! Praise The Lord!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I have a very important question to ask all of you.  Are we redeemed?  The answer to this question is yes.  Jesus Christ died for the sins of all people.  He died for me so that I can be saved.  What is the definition of the word redeem? 

       In Christian theology, redemption (Greek: apolutrosis) refers to the deliverance of Christians from sin. … Most evangelical theologians and Protestant denominations reject Origen’s argument that God paid the ransom price of redemption to Satan.  The actual definition of the word redeem means as follows: compensate for the faults or bad aspects of (something).  “A disappointing debate redeemed only by an outstanding speech gain or regain possession of (something) in exchange for payment. His best suit had been redeemed from the pawnbrokers.

        Next, I want to inform all of you that God is doing for all of us more than we are doing for ourselves.  This is the truth!!  I am saying this because Jesus Christ died for all of us so that we can have a chance at reconciliation. 

        Moreover, I want to inform all of you that you are my brother and sister in Christ Jesus.  Even though, I might not live in the same city as most of you, but I really love you.  I am really praying for everyone.  I am praying for my brother because he has not spoken to me since 2017.  My brother did not speak to me since July 28, 2017.  It really hurts me because I have called him as well as send text messages to him, but he has not responded whatsoever.  My other siblings and I get along very well.

                  Jesus Christ died for all of our sins.  Are we redeemed?  Yes, I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.  I am saved because I have confessed all of my sins to Him.  I have been forgiven.  I have forgiven others as well.  Proverbs 22:6 says: Train up a child in the way they should go, when they get old, they will not depart from it.  I grew up attending church by my grandparents.  My mother also attended church with me as well. 

            In Addition, I want to inform all of you that I believe that Jesus Christ was born in the flesh, lived among us, and died for all of our sins.  He also was risen and He sits in the Right Hand of God.  I am very happy that I am redeemed.  Jesus Christ is my Personal Savior.  I am happy because God is getting ready to do some new things for me.

Also, I want to say that Jesus Christ suffered while He was in the flesh.  I am free because my chains are broken.  I am free in Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ did not die for all of us to be miserable.  I am a person who really love people.  I love you, even I do not know you.  What does God have in store for me?  I know that I am a very intelligent man, who have common sense.  I am a man, who loves all people.  I have come a very long way in my personal journey in Christ Jesus. 

            Finally, I want to say that I really appreciate everyone.  I want to inform all of you that Jesus Christ has been wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  I really believe it!!  He took the punishment for me.  I am redeemed because I am reconciled with God once again.  I have been baptized on Sunday February 15, 2015.  I have confessed of all of my sins to Jesus Christ. 

            In Conclusion, I want to inform all of you that I am very happy as a Christian man.  It is the Lord that knows all of my steps.  He counts all of our steps.  The air that we are breathing does not belong to any of us.  The money that we earn each month does not belong to us. 

            In Summary, are we redeemed?  Yes, we are redeemed because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I am very happy that Jesus Christ is my Personal Savior.  I love him because he has never stopped loving me as a person.  Psalms 56:8 says: You numbered my wanderings, put my tears inside of your bottle; are they not inside of your Book?  The answer to this question is yes.  God knows exactly how long we are going to live.  He understands all of us.  He even knew all of us even when we were inside of our mother’s womb.  I love all of you very much.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Thank you for reading my essay.

Is it true that we cannot understand our errors?

By Anthony Joseph Hopkins

          Is it really true that we cannot understand our errors?  This is a very good question because it means that the only person who literally understand us is God.  This does not give me free will to do whatever I want.  It really does not mean that we have a right to commit a crime and think it is not our fault.  Proverbs 20:11 says that every child is known by their deeds; whether it is good, pure and right.  This means that we were taught morality from our parents.  This means that as children, we are taught the things we can do, compared to the things that we cannot do.  According to 1^st Corinthians 13:11 says that we once were a child, so we acted like a child, I thought as a child, so when I became a man, I learn to put away childish things.

It is not very easy for certain children and adults when it comes to maturity.  However, God makes a way for all of us to advance in our personal lives.   As far as our secret faults are concerned, everyone has them.  There are people who think that they have things under control, but they do not.  It is time to focus on boundaries for a moment.  When it comes to boundaries, this means that there are a set of rules and goals that were defined in advance.  The Lord knows exactly what we need, long before we ask Him.  Psalms 18:18 says that they confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord is my support.  Only God knows how to deal with our circumstances.

Further, I want to say that it is very hard to admit to our errors to other people.  God knows us very well.  Jeremiah 1:5 says before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, I ordained you as a prophet to the nations.  This means that God knows us in advance.  He even know exactly how long we are going to live.  God also have plans for all of us.  Some of these plans are prevalent in some as it is for others.  When it comes to Spiritual Gifts and talents, God has a divine plan for mankind.  As a child, I wanted to join the military or become a fireman.  There are things that I have always wanted to do, but I did not do them.

 Moreover, I will admit that I have followed others and imitate the behaviors of others.  In the long run, it was not something that I really wanted to do in the first place.  It might have been good at first because of peer pressure and I ended up doing failing at my attempt to be like everyone else.  Currently, I ask God in advance for the things that I want to do.  I ask God because I do not want to make the mistakes of the past.  My mother and my caretakers always encouraged me to do whatever I really want.  I have learned a whole lot from all of my past relationships with women and other people.

Finally, I want to say that I have learned a lot of things from simple trial and error.  Proverbs 15:3 says: The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.  God knows what is good for all of us.  I have to simply keep asking Him for it.  I only wish that I can only see Him for myself.  I need God to help me out for the rest of my life.  I cannot just keep doing things for myself without God’s help.  I will admit that I am guilty of wanting something when I want it.  I cannot do that anymore.  I have to allow God to show me the way to the promise land.  God Bless All of You!!  May the Lord God continue to bless all of you!  Thank You for reading my blog.
