Introduction
Throughout the years of Christianity, beliefs and morals have been put down as the foundation of the religion. Some of these beliefs still stand today and are at the heart of many people around the world. This video will discuss the meanings of some of these beliefs, rituals, and practices used in Christianity and how we can put some of these beliefs and practices into action at St Josephs College.
Good and evil are seen as opposites in most religions such as Christianity. Good can be defined as actions that demonstrate certain qualities and morals. Good is shown through many acts that are done out of love, compassion, sympathy, empathy, selflessness, and genuine care. Evil is done out of characteristics such as selfishness, self-centered, and narcissism.
Evil is many things. It is the inability to empathize and to love others. Not being able to understand the importance of emotions and connections with other human beings. Viewing others as objects rather than living people.
Forgiveness and redemption can be understood as accepting and overcoming the sins that someone has committed against you or others. Forgiveness can sometimes be seen as rare and divine by the fact that people arent always able to do it.
Discussion
In the bible, the word good is passed around in multiple verses. In these verses, there is usually a situation of where someone has done something that benefits something or someone. This demonstrates many qualities and morals such as love and selflessness. In Christianity, the belief of God comes with that everything in his creation is rooted in divine goodness. God is good and His love endures forever. (Psalms 100:5) God is more powerful than the devil so good is greater than evil.
A sin is an evil act that goes against Gods will and affects something or someone else. Evil is the absence of good. Evil is often divided into categories. These categories are natural evil, such as natural disasters, diseases, and birth defects; and moral evil, or a human action that results in pain and suffering for others, such as genocide, war, cruelty, exploitation, and abuse. In Christianity, it is believed that evil stems from the act of going against Gods will which results in injustice, vanity, pride, dishonesty, aggression, violence, greed, and many other terrible acts in the world. This belief is derived from the story of Adam and Eves original sins. Eve went against Gods will which is an explanation for hate and suffering in the world.
Reconciliation is defined as the restoration of friendly relations. In Christianity, reconciliation is a rejoice of a relationship between man and God. It is the cleanse and forgiveness of any sins and a new bond created. In the Bible, it is said that Christ reconciled us to God meaning that we needed reconciliation because our relationship with God was broken. Our sins have clouded us from the will of God. These sins are forgiven through reconciliation.
Prayer is a gateway to salvation and the light of God. It can grant you the forgiveness and the help you need to get through difficult times or to help others going through difficult times. With the action of prayer, we can ask God for forgiveness of our sins or we can ask God to forgive someone who has sinned against us. Praying to God shows that you truly care about forgiveness and if God sees you are faithful, he will forgive you because he always wants to forgive. Praying for someone elses forgiveness shows strength in character and a true sense of love and care.
Conclusion
Forgiveness and Redemption play a massive part in how we view one another as human beings and how our world operates. Without forgiveness and redemption, the world would be a much different place filled with eternal hate and suffering, similar to hell. Forgiveness allows us to put certain things in the past that are causing us to suffer and lose focus on more important things. Being forgiven gives a sense of relief and allows an opportunity to fix mistakes and redeem ourselves. The word forgive is used 109 times in the Bible. This shows that forgiveness is a big part of the Christian faith.
Forgiveness, healing, and redemption are put into action in many ways in different actions at St Joseph College. When an incident has happened and another student has been affected, the school will set a meeting in place between the offender and victim where an opportunity for forgiveness and redemption is given which leads to the healing of the situation. If a student has done something wrong and gets a punishment, the punishment can be used as a way for the student to redeem themselves and be forgiven. Students also have opportunities to heal with the resources provided by the school. Some counselors are always there during school hours to help you with anything you need and help to heal anything affecting you.
