Faith is the starting point for building godly character. With faith comes salvation through Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide us. While non-Christians can exhibit moral behavior, true godly character involves an internal heart change aligned with God's desires. To develop character, Christians must add virtues to their faith like goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness and love.

This passage discusses how Christians can grow in grace and knowledge. It says we must add virtues like faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love. If a Christian possesses these things and they abound, they will bear fruit and not be barren, and will experience growth in grace through knowledge of God and Jesus. The passage emphasizes developing moral excellence and standing up for righteousness, controlling desires and passions, enduring trials with patience, being godly through good works, showing kindness to other believers, and having love.

Confirmation 7 & 8 done
This document provides a summary of key Christian concepts related to works and salvation. It discusses several Bible passages and argues that salvation is by God's grace through faith alone, not by works. The key points are:
1) Salvation is 100% dependent on God's grace and 0% on our good works. We are not justified by observing the law but by faith alone.
2) Good works do not earn salvation, which is a free gift from God. If we pursue salvation through works, we lose God's gift.
3) When we come to faith, the Holy Spirit changes our attitude so that we now hate sin and are eager to do God's will.
4) As Christians
Understanding god
1) The document discusses understanding God's grace and living by grace rather than performance. It argues Christians often revert to a performance-based walk due to failing to understand continuous grace.
2) It explains that grace is God's free and unmerited favor shown to sinners. Holiness is also a gift of grace, as God sees believers as perfectly holy in Christ.
3) The document emphasizes that believers possess holiness in Christ before God, and through His grace are sanctified daily as the Holy Spirit transforms them into Christ's likeness.
Understanding god
This document discusses the difference between living by grace versus living by performance. It argues that while good works are important, they should come from a place of responding to God's grace rather than trying to earn God's favor. The document outlines how we are all in need of God's grace due to our sinful nature. It was only by God's grace that we can be saved through faith in Jesus, not by our own works. If we enter God's kingdom by grace, we must live in it by grace as well. Our motivation should be God's love and grace for us, not trying to fulfill requirements to gain blessings. True spiritual works flow from walking in God's grace, not to earn it. All of God
Sacrament of baptism
The document provides information about the Sacrament of Baptism in the Diocese of Marbel, Santa Cruz Parish. It defines Baptism as being instituted by Jesus, involving water and the Holy Spirit, and marking one's incorporation into the Church. It also discusses the fruits of Baptism as including new life in Christ, forgiveness of sins, and adoption as sons and daughters of God.
What we-believe
The document discusses ten key Christian doctrines: God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, salvation, Christian living, the church, family, the spirit world, and the future. It provides questions and answers about the nature and significance of each doctrine. For example, it explains that Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man, that he died on the cross to atone for humanity's sins, and that he ascended to heaven and will return again. The document aims to outline foundational theological beliefs and their importance.
Jesus was our basis for approaching god
This is a study of Jesus being our basis for approaching God. Our faith in Jesus allows us to approach God with freedom and confidence.

God’s Perspective Of Work
1) God instituted work and commands humans to work diligently. Work was given by God to Adam and Eve and Jesus worked to accomplish God's purposes.
2) The ability to enjoy and succeed in our work comes from God as a gift and our work should be done as an offering to God.
3) The purpose of work is to provide for life's needs and laziness should be avoided. We are called to work hard and be productive members of society.
4) God will give eternal rewards to those who work faithfully for Him. We should not grow weary in doing good works.

The Battle of David and Goliath
The document summarizes the biblical story of David and Goliath. It describes how David, a young shepherd, volunteered to fight the giant Philistine warrior Goliath after no one else from King Saul's army would. Though David was much smaller than Goliath, he trusted in God and defeated Goliath with a sling and stones instead of Saul's armor and weapons. God gave David victory over the Philistines, showing that with God on their side, the Israelites could overcome their enemies no matter the odds.
God gives His People Jericho
1. God instructed Joshua to march around Jericho with armed men for six days and seven times on the seventh day, blowing rams' horns. On the seventh round, the people were to shout and the walls would fall.
2. Joshua obeyed God by marching as instructed with the priests and ark. On the seventh day, when the people shouted, the walls fell and Israel took Jericho.
3. Those who believe God will humble themselves, acknowledge God's holiness, and walk in obedience, as Joshua did, while those who do not believe will not submit to God's authority.
Character Comes from God
1) All humans are inherently sinful and fall short of God's standards.
2) The consequences of sin are separation from God and eternal punishment. However, God loves humanity and sent his son Jesus to save them.
3) Salvation comes through repenting of sins, believing in Jesus, and accepting him as lord. This allows sinners to be reconciled with God and granted eternal life.
Ascension
1. Jesus was lifted up into heaven to prove his resurrection and to be elevated to a position of power and glory over heaven and earth.
2. His ascension demonstrated his spiritual nature by proving that, although he ascended bodily, he would still be present through the Holy Spirit in believers.
3. It also showed that God wants believers to be united, just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one.
