Free will. Allowing us to choose to serve him with a willing heart, without forcing anyone to accept his sovereignty.

I definatly would agree that salvation is number one but next in line would have to be free will. By the grace and love of God we are free. Through His Son we can sit by His side in heaven. I am greatful everyday that He has given us all eternal salvation if we choose to accept it. God Bless

I think being created in God's image is the next on the list. Why? Not even the angels were created in God's image and it may have been this fact that turned Satan (a former angel) against God. How do we know we are the only creatures made in God's image besides using scripture? Only mankind has 3 parts to his existence: a mind (mental), a body (physical), and a soul (spiritual). Angels lack a body and animals and plants lack a mind. Mankind is the only creature to be created in God's image.
This concept can also be used to demonstrate the existence of the Holy Trinity.
ESSENCE OF MAN: MIND, BODY, SOUL.
EXISTENCE OF MAN: HUMAN, LIVING, BEING.
ESSENCE OF GOD: FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.
EXISTENCE OF GOD: All Knowing, All Powerful, Ever present.
This concept of creation can be applied to many other aspects of life but I have made my point to your question.
If you take Genesis in which God says, "...let us make man in our image..." It implies some kind of plurality. Yet, we know there is only ONE TRUE GOD.
It stands to reason that if Christians truly believe in the Holy Trinity then you must be willing to say we are not just created in the image of God but in the image of the Holy Trinity.

Would it be true fellowship with God? A right relationship with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

The day that a guy or woman dies and faces judgment. i'm Roman Catholic. Peace be with you. EDIT: in case you recommend "each" twelve months, i might say stable Friday. this is the Day Jesus proved He might flow by with it. it somewhat is the day we bear in mind that Jesus will do something to furnish us His love and mercy. We only would desire to declare, "particular. thank you!" EDIT #2: i think of it somewhat is a pitiful tragedy that the Jehovah's Witnesses mixture genuine issues with blatant lies so severely and again and again. They motivate all human beings to bear in mind the dying of Jesus, yet they deny Who he's - God Incarnate. in addition they lie approximately Jesus Christ's Passover meal. Jesus Christ did no longer take bread, hand it to His disciples and say "this implies my physique." this is a Watchtower Bible Tract Society lie. perchance some Jehovah's Witnesses have faith it, yet while so as that they suspect a lie. Jesus Christ took bread, broke it, handed it to His disciples and suggested, "it somewhat is my physique." He suggested no longer something approximately it being a trifling image, nor a token message. Jesus Christ declared that He replaced into giving His actual physique and blood to His disciples interior the form of bread and wine. Jesus instructed them to "try this in reminiscence of me." Jesus did no longer say "pretend to try this." In so doing, Jesus, who's God incarnate, everyday the Eucharist would God forgive all who willingly unfold falsehoods approximately Him to steer others off track. would God the daddy, The Son and The Holy Spirit guard us all from such lies. would God the daddy, The Son and The Holy Spirit have mercy on us all. Peace be with you.

I'd say even above Jesus, there is the gift of God Himself. He gave us a piece of Himself, and it is our soul. It's passed on with each new birth, it never dies. When we die, what's left of it goes back to Him.

Free will. He gives us the choice to accept the Gospel. HE could have made us perfect, but he didn't!! Without pain, we would never understand the true joy of heaven!!!
