1 Corr- Galations

Unit 1 Choice 4
Paul was an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, and with this, he was also a missionary, friend and leader to all those he encountered. He had the responsibility to “take upon himself the name of Christ,” as do all Disciples of Christ, but then to take Christ to the whole world. This was is mission and hope for each and every day! I preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in each conversation he had, never forgetting his purpose for a second,  and then never forgot about those that he taught by writing them letters to make sure that they are on the straight and narrow path.
Paul taught me in these verses that I need to actually KNOW the people around me. Know their circumstances and challenges so that I can relate to them and then give them hope with the gospel of Jesus Christ. By doing this, others will be persuaded to know the truth and to do good because they will see that God knows them and their circumstances and that he is always providing ways to progress in this life and to be happy.
-In order to complete this assignment I read all the readings and then pondered about the questions that I needed to answer
- I decided to choose this choice because I LOVE verses 24-26 in this chapter and so I wanted to gain further insight on this chapter
-the best part of this assignment was that the questions were broad so that I could answer freely and one thing that could change would be that there could be more background to this chapter given.

Unit 2 Choice 1 #5
In these verses the Lord consoles Paul by telling him that it is okay that he isn’t perfect. I love it when the Lord says, “for when I am weak, than am I strong.” If we didn't have weakness, then we couldn't understand growth and how we become strong.
In Mosiah 24: 13-14 we see another example how the Lord visited his people and comforted them in times of trial. “He eased their burdens so that they could not feel them” but did not take away their trials all together so that they could “stand as a witness for God” This experience helps and comforts me in times of trial because I know that God loves me and will has never forgotten me when I’m going through trials, but that he is putting his trust in me that he is confident that I will make it through and grow from each trail.
-          To complete this assignment I read all the readings and pondered on the stories I read
-          I decided on this choice because I am going through some hard trials right now and I thought that this would help me

-          I liked that you gave us the scripture in Mosiah to compare to 2 Corr. but I wished that there would have been more examples
