What you endured as a Christain depended on how you were viewed and accepted or not by the culture, however, your faith in God established your relationship with him and other believers as well.

One that is intentional about what he says and confirming through his word. His love comes through, and you recognize that the Father wants you to know him and have a relationship with him.

What does Dr. Cohick say are the benefits of being able to discern the implications in a passage of Scripture?Discerning the implication of scripture is your guide for living a life pleasing to God, holy, righteous and true. It’s getting to have a personal relationship with God and learn the essence of his character.
