God gives us numerous blessings throughout our lives. It is our duty to appreciate these blessings and be appreciative towards them. One of the many blessings he bestows upon us is the gift of His chesed. By studying this gift closely, I have learned about the meaning of chesed, stories demonstrating God's chesed, what these stories teach us about God's commitment to us, and how his chesed has impacted my life. The definition of God's chesed refers to his love for his people and his commitment to us. If you were to translate chesed, it gives a multitude of synonyms such as "grace," "kindness," "mercy," and "love." God is fulfilling his promise to us by displaying his unending affection towards us. His chesed teaches us to be appreciative …show more content…
In the book of Ruth, the passage "Naomi in Moab" tells the story of a family - Elimelech, Ruth, and their two sons migrating from their homeland, which had become corrupt with famine, to the city of Bethlehem. Shortly after they arrived in the city, Elimelech passed away, leaving Ruth with her two sons to take care of. The two sons, Mahlon and Chilion had married, but, within a decade, they had died too. Naomi was left all alone, besides her two daughter-in-laws: Ruth and Orpah. Naomi ordered them to return to their homeland and find new husbands because she, herself, was to old to remarry and could no longer bear children. Orpah left Naomi, but Ruth refused too. She cried out, "Do not press me to go back and abandon you! May the Lord do thus to me, and more, if even death separates me from you!" (Ruth 1: 16-17). The next example of God's chesed is displayed in the book of Genesis. The passage, "The Testing of Abraham," tells the story of Abraham and his calling from God. God summoned Abraham to set out for the land of Moriah and told him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. Abraham loved his son deeply and was told he would have to give up his son for God. He went to the highest point on the mountain and was proceeding to slaughter his son, but an angel called out telling him to refrain from hurting him. Abraham did not lay a hand on his son and obeyed
What is Christian Science? Who is Mary Baker Eddy? Where does Christian Science come from? Is Christian Science like Scientology? What are Christian Science beliefs? Why are we here and where do we go when we die? These question may be raised when you hear Christian Science. Christian Science is unique in its own way, it may not seem all that amazing like other religions but Christian Science is truly amazing over all. Some people refer to Christian Science as non-Christian or an a cult, but that’s not true. Christian Science is a religion that formed more slowly than other religions but is still a good religion.
God gives and He takes away, and in the book of Ruth we see God taking away Naomi’s husband and both her sons, but that is not the end of her story. The book of Ruth is a story of God providing for the widow. In Ruth, God supports Naomi by providing a loyal companion in her daughter-in-law, with substantial food, and a husband for her daughter-in-law.
Abraham: Husband of Sarah, is told by God to leave his home to go to a new land to spread God’s teachings.

I did not like the book The Call Of The Wild because in the first two or three chapters after buck gets adopted by Francois the book repeats itself over and over again. Also every time something that should kill Buck, he breaks through and lives with minor inguries. I liked the book because Buck shone through all the other dogs he was brave, loving, and always did what his master told him too.
The story of Abraham and the binding of his son Isaac displays one of the ways God tested man in those days. Abraham was ordered to sacrifice his only son in the land of Moriah. Not letting his love for his son withhold him from God’s wishes he goes to the mountain and right before he readies himself to kill Isaac an angel calls out to him. He is told that his faith in God has been demonstrated and he doesn 't have to sacrifice his son after all.
Well, we all know or have children, and there's always that one child who you wake up to some days and you go "who sent you?"
There was one god, known as God Quakes. He was the 13th son of Zeus. All the other sons were always were prejudice about him, and always said that Quakes can’t do anything. In addition, they even said he was a sign of bad luck everywhere, since he was the 13th son. They proved it, too. For example, the year before he was born, Zeus had conquered the war between the Titans. But the year after God Quakes was born, they had lost as badly as a fight between a cat and a rat, which made the Titans start to form a territory of their home, which was on a mountain, called Mt. Olympus. Even Zeus had second thoughts of his son, but it was a rule of the god to never abandon their son. No matter how much criticizing, God Quakes had never hated
As a catholic, it is very important to know about how much God cares about us. Chesed in my own definition means God's commitment to us. What it means for God to be committed to us means that God will always be at our sides, he will try everything to always lead us into a good path. The story about Naomi and Ruth is a prime example of chesed. In the story Naomi loses her son and husband and wants to give up on life, but her daughter in laws would not allow that.
The question is that is it possible to prove the existence of God in a strictly scientific? Answer is incredibly straightforward that there is no individual in the world who could come back with a solid proof whether God exists or not. One of the primary difficulties is the lack of a general characterization of the existence or nonexistence of which is required to be proved. First of all, for the benefit of further narrative, I would like to give the most general definition of "God" as far as possible including all possible variations. Consider our world as a great computer stylish game or a social network. For such a system may well be the one who designed it, created, wrote and performs systemic organization (Everitt N.p.). If you doubt the presence of Facebook creator and administrator of this network, it will look at least strange.

Abraham’s seriousness and dedication in regards to his covenant with God control tense actions and events between Abraham and Isaac. Abraham is compelled in his actions by his understanding and faith that his belief in God will reap benefits. Without hesitation, he considers doing everything that God tells him to do. Abraham’s willingness and sacrifice of Isaac show the great power that God has over Abraham. Abraham’s desire for God’s approval and blessings compel him toward grave actions without the concrete command from God. Abraham merely implies God’s intentions from the limited conversations held between Abraham, God, and the angel.
In reaction to God’s call, Abraham departed Haran enroute to Canaan. At 75 years of age, he abandoned his way of life assembled his wife, his nephew Lot, his servants, livestock, and material possessions and moved in accordance with God’s leading. Abraham’s obedience to God serves as an example for all believers to emulate. He left his “comfort zone” of living to follow God’s spoken promises even though there was definite uncertainty as to how they were going to come to pass.

There’s been considerable discussion, both within the Christian community and outside of it about the label of “Christianity” and calling oneself a “Christian.” The official definition of a Christian is “a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings”, at least according to Google.. So why is it that we are labeled, as “stuck up”, “homophobic”, and “better than everyone else”, when that is not who we are or who we want to become.
