473 the seven qualities of a Godly Man or Woman
SECTION 1: NEW CREATION. Basic. We are born in sin this is a biblical fact. A child who is baptized by the parents is not saved from eternal damnation. When a child is baptized into the Christian church this is not biblical process. A person when they are old enough to choose between what is right and what is wrong. When a person understands they have a soul. When a person chooses for themselves they want to go to heaven. They have to accept Yeshua into their hearts. After accepting Yeshua in our hearts we become a new creations. What does this phrase “New Creation” mean biblically? We will take a ride through the Old and New Testaments to discover what this phrase “New Creation” means to Yehovah and to your eternal soul.
SECTION 2: THE SEVEN QUALITIES OF GODLY MEN. Intermediate level. Now that we truly understand what it means to be a “New Creation”. We must take that gained knowledge and apply it to each of our lives. If we do not apply this knowledge and understanding there is a court date, with a very coarse prosecutor. As men called by a Righteous King we must elevate ourselves to royal men. Godly men are called to be better then secular fools. We will look at 7 keys to being a Godly Husband.
SECTION 3: THE SEVEN QUALITIES OF GODLY WOMEN. Intermediate level. People in glass houses should not throw stones or get undressed. Throwing stones will break your glass and let the elements into your home. Getting undressed without a proper covering will show your nakedness to the world. As women of Yehovah you are daughters of the KING. You are required to act properly and dignified representing your Majesty as a business owner, wife, daughter and Mother. We will look at 7 incredible blessings that are here in the WORD for daughters of the Yehovah Elohim who are Godly women.
