Life is formed in him, and life is the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not conquer it. John1-4,5
This is the core of Christian theology. Here "light" refers to Jesus Christ, and "life" refers to eternal life-overcoming death and gaining truth.
2. You have to enter the narrow gate, because that gate leads to destruction, that gate is wide and the road is big, and many people enter the gate leading to eternal life, and the narrow road is small, and few people find it. "(Chapter 7 of Matthew in the New Testament)
Enter through a narrow door; Because the door to destruction is wide, the road is easy to walk, and there are many people walking. Because the door to life is narrow, the road is difficult, and few people find it. Matthew 7- 13, 14
This is the shortest passage in Jesus' Sermon on Mountaineering, but it is the core of the whole Protestant spirit. For Puritans, life means endless difficulties and obstacles, which means taking a narrow door.
3. "Love is patient and kind; Love is not jealous, love is not boastful, arrogant, shy, does not seek its own benefits, does not get angry easily, does not count people's evils, does not like injustice, but only likes truth; Everything is tolerant, everything is believed, everything is hoped, and everything is patient; Love never stops. " (Chapter 1 3 of 1 Corinthians, New Testament)
Love is patience; Love is kind; Love is not jealousy, boasting, arrogance or rudeness. It doesn't stick to its own way; It is not irritable or sensitive; It doesn't like mistakes, but it likes truth. Everything is tolerant, everything is hopeful, and everything is patient. Love never ends.
Christianity is a "religion of love", which is the apostle Paul's interpretation of love. Since ancient times, I don't know how many people have converted to Christianity because of this passage, which shows that "love is unparalleled."
4. "Death, where is your strength to win? Die, where's your poison hook? The poison hook of death is evil, and the power of evil is law. Thank God for letting us win through our Lord Jesus Christ. " (Chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians, New Testament)
Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your poison hook? The sting of death is evil. The power of sin is the law. Thanks be to God, for he gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Apostle Paul elaborated the context of Christianity in beautiful language: original sin and depravity, sacrifice and redemption, victory and eternal life. Generally speaking, it is "to overcome death with love".
5. The grass withers and the flowers wither, because the breath of the LORD blows on it. People are really grass. Grass will wither and flowers will wither; But the word of our God will stand forever. "(old testament Isaiah chapter 40)
Introduction:
The Bible is a revelation from God (interpreted from a religious perspective) and a classic of Judaism and Christianity. Originally in Hebrew, kethubhim originally meant "article" and later "classic"; Greek Graphai, Latin Scripturoe, Chinese translation Jing.
The Bible is a classic belief of Jews and Europeans. It tells the history of Jews in ancient times and records the prophecies of prophets. [ 1]? When a large number of Jewish classics are translated into Greek, the Greek tabilia (plural, meaning "books") is used to refer to these classics; Latin comes from the singular word Biblia, which later became the proper name of the official classics of Judaism and Christianity, and translated into Chinese is the "Bible".
The Bible is a fairly thick book, with pages similar to those of a dictionary, but in fact it is not just a book, but a set of 66 books. Some are long and some are short; There are ancient works and more modern works, including: history, poetry, philosophy, and even private letters and lectures. [2]?
The official classic of Judaism consists of five volumes of Torah, eight volumes of Prophet and six volumes of Holy Book 1 1, so it is commonly known as Tanach (composed of the initials of Torah, Nevim and Katuweim), also known as the "Twenty-four Books".
Christian classics, including the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Jewish Bible, the Old Testament, is inherited from Judaism. The volume and order of this book are slightly different among Christian factions. The New Testament is a Christian classic, which consists of 27 volumes, including the gospels that record the life, words and deeds of Jesus, the Acts that describe the situation of the early church, and the letters and revelations written by the apostles. There are 39 volumes in the Old Testament and 27 volumes in the New Testament.
Creative background:
The cultural background of the birth of the Old Testament is a unique society of divine culture. In the eyes of Jews, the existence of God is real and ubiquitous. God is truth and history, and all the narratives in the Bible are true. This is the uniqueness of Jewish historical view. [5]?
The New Testament was basically written in the second half of the first century A.D., basically finalized at the beginning of the third century, and the final version was at the end of the fourth century.
