Guide Questions for the Comments and Realizations.

1. What can you say about the topic presented?

2. Does it help in clarifying your faith in God?
3. What are your realizations as a human being created by God?

Answers:

1. The topic presented was basically about catechism on our statement of faith, our
creator’s doctrines believe that the Bible is God's inspired, infallible, and authoritative
Word. We believe in a single God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ's deity, His virgin birth, sinless life,
miracles, vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, bodily resurrection,
ascension to the right hand of the Father, and personal return in power and glory. We
believe that regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary for the salvation of
lost and sinful man. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose
indwelling enables the Christian to live. Honestly, It gained me more interest the
moment I read on the trinity because I was really curious on how catholic and
protestant churches define or see the trinity, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet, I
realize we still have in common to their teachings and doctrines. Nevertheless, I was
able to educate myself about these information and that molded my faith even more.

2. Yes, it definitely helped me more to understand and cultivated on my spiritual

knowledge specially on God’s self. As I go along reading the whole presentation, I was
interested to explore more on the teachings and origins of the church. As catholic
believer, I am aware that protestant teachings do really have the same concept of
knowing God and how we worship God. It is such that we differ from how we practice
on our faith and revering him as believers. It is important that we pay attention to God
and His words. Through the scriptures, He can not only guide our lives but also teach us
about Himself. The Word of God leads us to salvation. It is written in His word that when
we put our trust in Him, we will be saved. Even if you are already a believer, reading the
words again reminds us that He gave His only son so that we might live in Him. It
teaches us wisdom. Reading the Bible will give you wisdom that will strengthen you, give
you peace, give you joy, and equip you to face life's challenges. That can only be found
by reading the Bible.
3. My realizations as a human being is that first, we should be grateful and thankful that
God had chosen us to be one of his living entities in the human world by taking care of
his crafts and creation and the chance to taste and live life. Second, Because our minds
are not sufficiently renewed, it is sometimes difficult to speak consistently with what the
Bible says. We are still filled with skepticism. We must retrain our subconscious minds to
accept God's principles and promises without reservation. Meditation, repeated
pondering, good preaching, confession of the Scripture, and informed study will all help.
The Word must permeate every part of our being. This will alter how we are, how we
speak, and how we respond to difficulties and challenges. If it doesn't, we've been too
superficial in our approach to the Word. We have substituted mental knowledge and
word recognition for genuine meditation and confession. Through God the Father, you
will be strengthened and fortified as you read His Word. This is one of the most
significant and significant advantages of reading the Bible. Being empowered by the
Father to face whatever life throws at you. Your faith will hold you up and keep you
going. Lastly, You will grow spiritually. Daily time spent reading and studying God's Word
is one of the spiritual disciplines and a sign of spiritual maturity. You will grow in
spiritual maturity as you learn more about His character, promises, and plan for
mankind's salvation.
