Reflection # 2

 Learning the lives of the martyrs and apologist made me an impact on how these people gave up their lives for the sake of the Gospel. It made me think deeply where I am very emotional as I learned from them. I am very grateful that they did not surrender even though they are persecuted, tortured or broken into pieces. They did not recant their faith in God because if they do, probable we are not be able to hear and know the truth. I am blessed with these people because even though they are hard pressed or was falsely accused but they continue to defend their God. Their testimony encourages me being a believer of Christ to be confident, to be bold, to fear no one except God alone in sharing the Gospel. My faith on Him increases of what I know and how God works into their lives miraculously. God never sleeps and He is always at works in each of us. He never abandon His people but find favor on Him. Maybe in introducing these people to the church, I believe that they will be moved and will see the need of the people who doesn't know Christ yet.

There's a lot of changes the way I think. By knowing these things it changes my perspective. As a Christian we should not be lax or contented being a church goer but be able to make a difference in peoples lives. I was reminded by the song entitled “find us faithful”. I hope with myself that my testimony with Christ as my Savior will leave a legacy; that there is a legacy that will leave behind when God takes me home. This helps me to share courageously about the Lord Jesus Christ to the unsaved. Christ bought me at a price and my life is for God and now I am living for Him so I must give my all in all to God. I know that God wants to reach all the people and I believe that what happened in the past fulfills the purpose and plan of God. I hope and will pray that I will continue to serve God no matter what circumstances I may encounter. I exists to serve God!

Being a Christian is not really easy but living up for God and with God is a privilege. In order to put these positive changes into practice is to create ways that I will take so that these lesson I've learned will be apply in my life. As a believer I will share the Gospel to the unbelievers. There is no need to feel fear or afraid about knowing that God will not leave His children behind and alone without His help. It is to help other people in their physical, emotional, mental and above all their spiritual needs. I will serve and glorify His name in my life by helping other people. Also to obey the commands of the Lord in which everyone of us is involve in a mission. This mission is to proclaim the redemptive work of Christ and that is my mission; our mission. It is also my prayer to be rich toward God in my life.

The Bible clearly states that we Christians must be courageous and strong in whatever life may bring forth. God has created us to do good works and we are called to do mission and so we need to be bold especially in proclaiming about the love of God. The only thing is we need to trust that God will lead us in our way.

Reflection # 1

 Learning about the church history is a very important topic in which every Christian must know the history about the church. In this past two weeks I learned that even beforehand God's plan of redemption to these vastness of people worked out in a very special way. It accomplishes a lot of things where it happens in a real places and to a real people. It is not just an imaginary. What God wills according to His plan and purpose from eternity was surely come to pass. By this, I was able to understand where I came from. I realize that whatever circumstances that I've encountered is an act of God in time for the good.

By knowing this, I think I need to demonstrate the truth about Christianity to know what is significant and meaningful that would benefits to every Christians. As a believer of Christ, my attitude should be filled with gratitude of God's faithfulness in my life. It is not about what I am knowledgeable of but it is exalting the Name of our Savior and to be loyal towards Him. Learning the life of a person who made an impact in the lives of many people in our church history made me think to pursue the best as I can in order to do something for God.


In order to apply this, one thing I would do is to put theory into practice and to be aware of what is to be done. In myself I need to be determined to do of what God wants me to do. I need to be truthful in all I do and to passionate about the works of Him that involves sacrificing by leaving in the comfort zone and to become zealous in the business of God. I should live a life that will never be a waste.
