When savage indignation can no longer torture the heart, proceed, traveler, and if you can, imitate the strenuous avenger of noble liberty. Belief in Jesus Christ is a miracle produced only by the effectiveness of redemption, not by impressive speech, nor by wooing and persuading, but only by the sheer unaided power of God. Redemption is a biblical word that means a purchase or a ransom. Historically, redemption was used in reference to the purchase of an enslaved human’s freedom. An enslaved person was redeemed when the price was paid for his or her freedom. In modern times, most everyone is a slave to sin; only through the price Jesus Christ paid on the cross is a sinful person redeemed from sin and death. Jesus Christ is the mediator of a new covenant since a death has occurred that redeems humans from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. Redemption provides several benefits for the believer: eternal life, forgiveness of sin, peace with God, the Holy Spirit to live within, and adoption into God’s family. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5

Love has a thousand ways of making Himself understood. Jesus gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession. When we are redeemed we have a new identity in Christ. No longer is the Christian a captive to sin and death. Instead, he or she has become a citizen of God’s Kingdom. Christian mysteries should not be explicated by divines but should remain incomprehensible, for otherwise they would not be mysteries. Though God-given, human’s reason is not infallible, because of the interests, passions, and vices of the individual. Mysteries (for instance, the Trinity) are to be accepted on faith (which is above reason) and asserted on the authority of the Scriptures. The grand points of Christianity ought to be taken as infallible revelations. Christianity is justifiable on grounds of expediency: it may help to preserve pride, wealth, and power and, possibly, to prevent a drop in the stock market as much as one per cent. I am not saying that is the purpose of religion, but if your heart is in the right place, it could be something that happens. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5

Be too self-respecting to lavish the love of the whole heart, soul, and strength, where such a gift is not wanted and would be despised. Cruelty, inhumanity, inordinate love of power, pride, corrupt politics, and political oppression will result in making me a traitor to Jesus Christ, and I prevent the creative power of His redemption from doing its work. Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence. If our everyday decisions are not according to God’s will, He will press through them, bringing restraint to our spirit. Then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence to guide us toward inculcating integrity and virtue in its major aspects of magnanimity and heroism—yet with no illusion that human nature is capable of reaching virtue in an eminent degree.  God is about to release everything that belongs to you and it will happen sooner than you think. It will be more extraordinary than you imagined. #RandolphHarris 3 of 5

There is nothing special about a person who uses and abuses you for financial gains. God will provide new opportunities and enhance gifts and talents you did not even realize you had. God loves to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond your wildest dreams. Father in Heaven, I know You are the God of acceleration. You can accelerate blessings and miracles in my life. Thank You for taking me further faster. I know that You will thrust me years ahead. I want to thank You that I will accomplish my dreams sooner than I think. Pure essences, for example, the natures of angels—may be multiplied numerically in existence, although how this is done is unknown. Whatever name may have been given to the divine Reality it has found its highest place in the history of our religion owing to its human character, giving meaning to the idea of sin and sanctity, and offering an eternal background to all the ideals of perfection which have their harmony with human’s own nature. Facts are many, but the truth is one—humans must clearly realize some central truth which will give them an outlook over the widest possible field. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5

People’s behaviors are more easily influenced by the actions of role models, fictional and nonfictional, who are of their own gender. Because media portrayals of gender roles can be as influential on a person’s own gender identity formation as people in their lives, the availability of adequate roles models of both sexes is essential.  Know your own soul. Or, in other words, realize the one great principle of unity that there is in every human. That infinity where knowledge ceases to be knowledge, subject and object become one—a state of existence that cannot be defined attunes humans to the grand harmony of the Universal, leaving no room for untrained desires of a rampant individualism to pursue their destructive career unchecked, but leading them on to their ultimate modulation in the Supreme. “I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, who summons you by name” (Isaiah 45.3). Where the heart is really attached, one can be little pleased with the attention of anybody else. Everything  is insipid, uninteresting, that does not relate to the beloved object. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
