angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, Rom. 8:38-39. The Lord is good. Ps. 100:5. Thou art good and doest good. Ps. 119:68. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5. In thy light shall we see light. Ps. 36:9. There is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. Rom. 13:1. With God all things are possible. Matt. 19:26. I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jer. 32:27. In the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. Isa. 26:4. Give up the belief that your strength comes from your brain, nerves and muscles. Your strength comes directly from God. Act upon this law alone. Thine, oh Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty. Wisdom and might are his. 1 Chr. 29:11. Dan. 2:20. Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary. Isa. 40:28. No word from God shall be void of power. Luke 1:37. In whom are all the treasures of wisdom, and Col. 2:3. knowledge hidden. O, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! I am the Lord, I change not. Rom. 11:33. Mal. 3:6. The Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17. The Christ of God I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. Luke 4:34. The Word was God. John 1:1. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. John 1:14. Christ is all, and in all. Col. 3:11. Christ refers repeatedly to the divinity of man. Ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 Cor. 3:23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one. John 17:23. Christ is in and about us always, but we make Him appear to the spiritually blind, only when we do a Christ-like act. Whoso gives us a better understanding of life, brings us glad tidings, or even speaks an encouraging word, is for that moment as a Christ to us "the Word made flesh"—the most greatly to be desired accomplishment of mankind. We should look for Him in every one we meet, even in the most depraved. He is there, and encouragement will help to bring Him forth—the Divine Light—that is to guide us. Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matt. 16:16. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the Sons of God (Rom. 8:14). And if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17). That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God (Rom. 9:8). The Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29. He dispels darkness (sin) by the light of Truth and delivers them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb. 2:15. Our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the good tidings. 2 Tim. 1:10. Ye call me Teacher, and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. John 13:13. I and the Father are One. John 10:30. Every human being ought to be conscious of this unity with the Divine One. It is to know the truth which makes one free. And all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. John 17:10. He is before all things, and in him all things con sist. (Hold together.) Col. 1:17. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4. I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12. The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1:17. I am the way, and the truth, and the life. John 14:6. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35. Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. Matt. 5:17. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. John 10:10. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37. Believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. John 14:12. Go ye into all the world and preach the good tidings to the whole creation (Mark 16:15). And as ye go preach, saying The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give (Matt. 10:7-8). For I have given you an example that ye also should do as I have done to you (John 13:15). Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matt. 28:20. Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30. |
