22 He expresses the glory of God the Creator

①    2 He expresses the glory of God the Creator.

 Those who believe in the Second Person in the Trinity, receive forgiveness of sins through the blood of the Second Person in the Trinity.[1] God the Holy Spirit comes upon those who have received the forgiveness of their sins.[2] We cannot keep the commandments of love in our own strength.[3] Therefore, the commandments had to become to us the law of death.[4]

 However, God the Holy Spirit writes the commandments in our hearts.[5] God the Holy Spirit becomes our new covenant.[6] Therefore, through God the Holy Spirit, we can keep the commandments.[7] Because He makes us keep the commandments, the commandments that were originally the law of death to us finally become the law of life for us.[8] Therefore, just as the Word overcame the lust of flesh through God the Holy Spirit[9], we who have received the word can also overcome the lust of flesh through God the Holy Spirit.[10]

 The Second Person in the Trinity expresses that taking the cross is to be glorified.[11] The Second Person in the Trinity expresses His love through His cross.[12] Through the cross, creatures come to know God's love.[13] The creatures that came to know God's love, come to love God.[14] The creatures that came to love God, no longer sin.[15] The creatures that no longer sin, come to be saved from the judgment.[16] In other words, they come to live forever.[17] Therefore, through the cross, creatures come to have eternal life.[18] The cross through which God gives eternal life to creatures, is the greatest love God shows to creatures.[19]

 The Second Person in the Trinity is everything to the First Person in the Trinity, and the First Person in the Trinity is everything to the Second Person in the Trinity.[20] The First Person in the Trinity has no other precious being besides the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Second Person in the Trinity has no other precious being besides the First Person in the Trinity.[21] The First Person in the Trinity who loves the Second Person in the Trinity, created space-time for the Second Person in the Trinity through the Second Person in the Trinity.[22] Space-time is being upheld in the Second Person in the Trinity.[23] The First Person in the Trinity predetermined to give eternal life to creatures by the method of forsaking the Second Person in the Trinity.[24] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to give eternal life to creatures by the method of being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[25]

 The Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became a creature. Only the creatures that obey the Second Person in the Trinity, live forever.[26] In order for the Second Person in the Trinity to give eternal life to creatures, the First Person in the Trinity gave the Second Person in the Trinity who became a creature, the authority over all flesh.[27] Creatures that do not obey the Second Person in the Trinity who rules by the commandments of love[28], will be thrown into the lake of fire.[29]

 A creature itself has no meaning to God.[30] A creature that God can create or annihilate at any time, cannot have value in itself.[31] But God puts a value on creatures.[32] A creature is as valuable as God values it.[33] Because of the value God has placed, the worthless creature has value.[34]

 A creature belongs to God who made it.[35] God owns, rules, and judges creatures.[36] Therefore, only God can put a value on a creature.[37] If God regards it as precious, it is precious, and if God regards it as low, it is low.[38] It is impossible for a creature to put a value on another creature.[39]

 The value that God places on creatures, is God Himself.[40] In order to make creatures give up their crimes[41], the First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity gave up each other.[42] Therefore, to God, creatures are now as precious as God.[43] When the First Person in the Trinity now looks at creatures, He remembers the Second Person in the Trinity. When the Second Person in the Trinity now looks at creatures, He remembers the First Person in the Trinity. On the cross, God placed a value on creatures. Therefore, the cross is the greatest love that God gives to creatures.[44]

 It means that a creature has become precious to God. The creature itself is still worthless.[45] A creature is as precious to God as the price God paid for it. A creature that God can annihilate at any time, has no value in itself.[46] But now the creature is precious to God because God paid a price for it.[47] If it is precious to God, it is truly precious. Because only God can put a value on a creature.[48]

 The First Person in the Trinity made creatures precious by giving up all of Himself on the cross.[49] The Second Person in the Trinity made creatures precious by giving up all of Himself on the cross.[50] A creature of no value in itself, but because of the blood God poured out on it, it is now precious.[51] It is a creature of no value in itself, but because of the tears of God contained in it, it is now precious.[52] The cross which surrounds a worthless creature with God's love[53], is therefore the brightest glory that God shines on creatures.[54]

 

John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

†   The Second Person in the Trinity is God the Creator who is glorious in Himself and deserves to be worshiped.[55] God comes into space-time to show God to creatures.[56] God expresses His glory to creatures.[57] This glory that God shows to creatures is His love.[58]

†   God shows His glory to creatures.[59] God is the one who can annihilate all creatures and space-time in which creatures are placed, in an instant.[60] God is the one who accounts space-time as less than nothing and vanity.[61] God is the one who can create space-time countless times and instantly annihilate it. God is omnipotent.[62] But when we behold the glory of God, that glory is the love of God.[63]

†   Almighty God is upholding space-time as a structure in which love is more glorious than power.[64] And God shows His own love more gloriously than His own power.[65] Almighty God is upholding space-time as a structure in which free will is perfected through love, not force.[66] And God forsakes Himself, in order to make creatures forsake sin.[67]

†   God created all angels and humans in death.[68] God has given all angels and humans free will. Therefore, angels or humans can sin, and if they do, they will die.[69] As long as free will is not perfected, if left as it is, angels and humans will inevitably commit sins.[70] Death is therefore a very powerful creature in space-time.[71] But what the most powerful, is love.[72] Only love overcomes death.[73] Death wins almost everything.[74] But love wins even death.[75] Love wins everything.[76] As we know, the most powerful thing in space-time, is love.[77] And another name of love[78], is life.[79]

†   God's love is expressed to creatures as the word of truth.[80] The only begotten Son, the Word who became flesh, is full of grace and truth. In creatures that obey the truth, sin is annihilated.[81] Creatures that reject the truth, will be annihilated with their sins.[82] Through the Second Person in the Trinity who is the truth, the sin of space-time is annihilated.[83] The Second Person in the Trinity, through His cross, annihilates the possibility to sin that remains in creatures.[84] A creature with perfected free will, lives forever.[85] In order to make creatures live forever, God gave up everything.[86] Therefore, the cross[87] is an awful glory that God expresses to creatures.

John17:1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.

John17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

John17:4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

John17:5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

John12:23 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

John12:24 Most assuredly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John12:50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

John13:30 Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

John13:31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

John13:32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

John7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

†   The Second Person in the Trinity receives the authority over all flesh in order to give eternal life to creatures. The Second Person in the Trinity inherits space-time in order to give eternal life to creatures.[88] The Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself and becomes a creature in order to give eternal life to creatures.[89] God who became a creature, shines the glory of God which creatures could not see, in space-time in person.[90]

†   The First Person in the Trinity glorifies the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Second Person in the Trinity glorifies the First Person in the Trinity. God is glorious in Himself.[91] The glory of God does not become perfected only when something is added to it.[92] Here, the meaning of glorifying the Second Person in the Trinity, means that God expresses His glory to creatures through His cross.[93]

†   God would have no need to show His glory to creatures, if He had not created them.[94] God would not have predetermined to be glorified by creatures[95], if He had not predetermined to love them.[96] But God predetermined to manifest His glory to creatures.[97] God predetermined to be glorified from creatures.[98]

†   The meaning that God created creatures to be glorified from them, means that He created them to be happiest when they glorify God.[99] Created things are most beautiful and happiest[100] when they function for the purpose for which they were originally created.[101]

†   The Second Person in the Trinity says that taking the cross is being glorified. The Second Person in the Trinity overcomes sin and death through His cross and sits on the throne.[102] The Second Person in the Trinity is resurrected through His cross and sits on the true throne. After the Second Person in the Trinity is glorified, God the Holy Spirit comes upon the saints in the name of the Second Person in the Trinity.[103] Now it is the turn of the saints to take up the cross and be glorified.[104] Now it is the turn of the saints to overcome sin and death through God the Holy Spirit and to be resurrected or transformed.[105]

Rom.8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Heb.2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Heb.2:11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

1Cor.15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.

1Cor.15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

1Cor.15:55 "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?"

1Cor.15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Phil.3:21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

Eph.3:10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

Eph.3:11 according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

1Pet.1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

†   If we overcome sin, we overcome death. If we overcome death, we will be resurrected or transformed. Saints are marked out to be adoptees through their resurrection or transformation.[106] If we are resurrected or transformed, we are glorified.[107] Only those who follow the way of the cross, can be resurrected or transformed.[108] Death takes hold of the sin of breaking the commandments. Therefore, if we keep the commandments, we can overcome death. Through the resurrection or transformation, victory over sin is proved. The resurrection or transformation proves that we have kept the commandments. Therefore, through the resurrection or transformation, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[109] Through the 1st resurrection[110] of the martyr witnesses[111], the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[112] The commandments are what creatures can keep sufficiently.[113]

†   When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, creatures no longer doubt God's love and justice.[114] When creatures do not misunderstand God, the possibility to sin remaining in creatures is annihilated.[115] The free will of creatures is perfected. The creatures with perfected free will, never sin again. Because they do not sin, they never die again.[116] Through the cross, creatures give up their will to sin. Through the cross, creatures come to live forever.

†   God the Holy Spirit comes upon the blood shed on the cross. The saints overcome sin through God the Holy Spirit. The saints who overcame sin overcome death and are resurrected or transformed. When the free will of creatures is perfected, the Second Person in the Trinity will burn even death and Hades in the lake of fire. Sin is annihilated in space-time.[117] Creation is completed. Through the cross, creation is completed.

†   Through the cross, God's love shines in space-time.[118] Through God's love, creatures come to live forever.[119] The cross that gives creatures eternal life, is therefore, the glory of God expressed in space-time.[120] The glory of God is expressed in space-time through God's recklessness[121], rather than through God's omnipotence or omniscience.[122] God's omniscience and omnipotence are not understandable to creatures[123], but God's recklessness is even more not understandable to creatures.[124] God's love[125] is even more not understandable to creatures.[126] But God who wills to do so, does so.[127] We just obey.[128]

[1] Heb.9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

[2] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[3] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

[4] Rom.7:10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death; for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

[5] 2Cor.3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

[6] Heb.8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a God, And they will be to me a people.

[7] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

[8] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

[9] 1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth." Who, when he was reviled, didn't revile back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously; who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. For you were going astray like sheep; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

[10] Rom.8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

[11] John7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

[12] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[13] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.

[14] 2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

[15] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

[16] Heb.9:28 so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

[17] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[18] John3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

[19] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

[20] John17:10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

[21] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

[22] Col.1:14 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins; who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

[23] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[24] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

[25] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

[26] Ps.2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

[27] John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.

[31] Luke17:7 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,' and will not rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me, while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink?' Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not. Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

[32] Is.43:4 Since you have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved you; therefore will I give men in your place, and peoples instead of your life.

[33] Zeph.3:17 Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will rest in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

[35] Rom.9:21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction, and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

[36] Ps.50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens. For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.

[37] Ex.4:11 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?

[38] John12:26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

[39] Dan.4:30 The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from you: and you shall be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will.

[40] Gal.2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

[41] 1John2:1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

[42] Matt.27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

[43] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

[44] Rom.5:6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

[45] Job34:14 If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust.

[46] Job35:6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.

[47] Titus2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

[48] Is.2:22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?

[49] Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.

[50] Matt.20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

[51] Acts20:28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

[52] 1Cor.8:11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

[53] 1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

[54] Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth." I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!" I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen." The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.

[55] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

[56] John14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

[57] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[58] 2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

[59] John13:31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

[60] Is.40:25 To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number; he calls them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

[61] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

[62] Jer.32:27 Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

[63] 1Cor.13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

[64] Song8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends

[65] Ex.34:6 Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth, keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

[66] Phil.1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

[67] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

[68] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[69] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[70] Rom.11:32 For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

[71] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

[72] Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter." No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

[73] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

[74] Hos.13:14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

  Matt.16:18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

[75] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

[76] 1Pet.4:8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

  James2:13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

[77] Rev.12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

[78] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[79] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

[80] Prov.3:18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

[81] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

[82] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

[83] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

[84] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[85] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

[86] Is.53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

[87] Is.53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

[88] John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him. "Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

[89] 1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

[90] John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

[91] 1Tim.6:15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

[92] Acts17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

[93] Phil.3:7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. Yes most assuredly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death; if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

[94] Job38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

[95] Eph.1:11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will; to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.

[96] Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth." I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!" I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen." The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.

[97] Is.42:8 I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to engraved images.

[98] Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

[99] Jer.2:19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.

[100] Ps.43:3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

[101] Deut.10:12 Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

[102] Phil.2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[103] John14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

[104] Rom.8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

[105] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[106] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[107] Rom.8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

[108] Matt.16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

[109] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[110] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

[111] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.

[112] Rev.12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

[113] 1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

[114] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

[115] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

[116] Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.

[117] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[118] 2Cor.4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

[119] Luke15:16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any. But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants."' "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

[120] 1Cor.2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory, which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, These God has prepared for those who love him." But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

[121] 1Cor.12:31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

[122] 1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

[123] Job11:7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know?

[124] 1Cor.1:22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

[125] Col.2:2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

[126] Rom.11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

[127] Is.46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;

[128] Rom.9:19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
