Refection 4

            This week discussion, I learned and amazed how God used Justin Martyr as the result of explicitly explain the important truths in the Bible- the Gospel. I knew that the gospel is the message of salvation for it Crist’s centered life, ministry, and works. Justin was a Christian apologist and philosopher and was born in Flavia Neapolis on A.D 114. The life journey of Justin to continue his service in the Lord started when he was converted 133. It was such a trending story to hear from the time when he was martyred on 165 A.D in Rome but interestingly his contributions in our history made an impact to all people to be aware of the teaching of the Gnostics belief and how to refute against them- the Syntagmata. He proved that Christ was the Messiah. And the other thing is that Arianism was led by Arius who was influential Baucalis Church that he made Christianity easied to understand and his method is eloquent preaching. Some of the belief of Arianism is that Christ did not always exist and Christ is bigger than man but lesser than God. They taught us that Jesus is not equal to God- his authority, rule, and power. They are different from the teaching of the Calvinist or we can say they are just opposite. Nevertheless, they have some views that are scriptural and can be based in our practices and belief but again not all of them are true to as believers of Christ.

            I learned that we can still do the work for God’s kingdom when we are eager to play the role of a true Christian though we are surrounded by many troubles in life. It is my responsibility to explain the importance of the word Christianity unto others because they are God’s people also that Christ also died for them. God has given us the task to preach the truths from the Bible to influence their minds with Jesus. Life is not easy on earth as long as the truths has been revealed to the innocent people today. I have this in mind that without pain, there is no gain that means we need to thrive hard to finish the job and never stop to what gives credit to God. We need to know how to explain the different belief so that others may not confuse about the true teaching.

            As I continue to minister, I would like to really base my teaching from the biblical teaching and to let them know that the Bible is the ultimate authority for faith and practices. I’ll have to a firm foundation when I preaching to those who are innocent. I’ll accept the challenge of being hurt when somebody just ignore me and reject my teaching. But I do believe God is indeed is at work and he’s the one to convict people. I will not get discourage easily because there is a time for everything.
