God’s Word Interprets God’s Word

John 3:13

And no one has gone up into Heaven, except He having come down out of Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.

Comment – the above verse tells us Jesus is finitely present and omnipresent; since He is in Heaven at the same time He was speaking and dwelling among us.

John 17:3

And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

John 16:30

Now we know that You know all things and have no need that anyone question You. By this we believe that You came out from God.

Comment – Jesus knows all things; meaning He is omniscient. Being God, He is also omnipotent in addition to being omnipresent.

Matthew 28:18

And coming up Jesus talked with them, saying, All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me.

Comment– After Jesus resurrected, He came to the disciples telling them all authority in heaven and earth was given to Him.

This means He has power and control over all creation.

Keep in mind He is both God and man. He had to be the substitute God/man for His people that The Father gave Him.

None of His people unconditionally chosen and given by the father to Jesus can satisfy the perfect righteousness and justice of God in order to save themselves from their sin.

His people must receive the gift of repentance from the Father in order to come to Jesus understanding they have no righteousness of their own and that they cannot please God.

Only by God’s unconditional choice of showing mercy through the gift of faith that salvation is conditioned on the atoning shed blood of Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness alone, will you demonstrate God through Jesus Christ has saved you.

The justified by Jesus Christ will live by faith in this gospel striving to keep His commandments; loving Jesus Christ; knowing He is the only way of salvation and knowing there is no other name or authority or conditions by which a man can be saved.

It is God’s work to make new creation’s in Christ Jesus. There are none righteous, none doing good and none seeking after the true God.

God chose the foolish things of the world that the wise might be put to shame and God chose the weak things of the world so that He might put to shame the strong things.

God chose the low born ones of the world and the things being despised and the things not being so that He might nullify the things being.

The natural man thinks the cross of Christ is foolishness and is not able to understand spiritual things until generated from above by the spirit that blows where it wills.

No flesh will be justified by their dead spiritless self righteous works that aren’t done knowing and loving God through Jesus Christ believing the Gospel; faith that is worked through the Holy Spirit.

Only works done in faith generated by the Holy Spirit glorifies God through Jesus Christ. Salvation is 100% of the Lord without contribution from those Christ represented. Salvation is a gift received by God given faith.

He that has the spirit of Christ dwelling in them belong to Christ; all others are children of the devil. Only those that believe the gospel are children of God.

Acts 1:7

And He said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority;

Comment

He said it was the Father only who placed in His own authority to know times or seasons and the time of His return.

It was the Father who placed in His authority only to know and reveal the time of Jesus’s return just as it is only the prerogative of the Father to give all to Jesus who Jesus will save and redeem conditioned on His atoning shed blood and His imputed righteousness alone.

We have already learned above that The Son knows all things; so we have to believe knowing and revealing the times or seasons and the time of His return was the Father’s prerogative.

John 6:37-39

It is also the prerogative of the Holy Spirit to regenerate all the Father gives to Jesus that Jesus will redeem, save and raise up in the last day.

Comment – All 3 persons depicted in the Bible as the one God are in agreement and are Co-equal as God; sharing the same self existent nature.

Matthew 24:36

But as to that day and that hour, no one knows, neither the angels of Heaven, except My Father only. See 1 Corinthians 2:2 below

For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and Him having been crucified.

Comment– The Apostle Paul obviously knew other things; but in this case he only decided to reveal or tell only the knowledge of Christ and Him being crucified; just as only it was the prerogative of the father only to make known or tell the time of Jesus’s return.

Hebrews 1:8

but as to the Son, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom;

Hebrews 1:10

And, “You, Lord, at the beginning founded the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands.

Isaiah 46:10

declaring the end from the beginning, and from the past those things which were not done, saying, My purpose shall rise; and, I will do all My desire;

John 1:1-3,14,18

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.

And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.

No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, being ( self existent) in the ( self existent) bosom of the Father, that One reveals Him .

John 4:24

God (is) spirit, and the (ones) worshiping Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Genesis 19:24

And Jehovah ( YHWH) rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from Jehovah (YHWH) out of the heavens.

Comment– Genesis 19:24 reveals the pre incarnate Son of God who is also YHWH. The only seen YHWH in the Old Covenant period was the pre incarnate Son of God John 1:18

Romans 2:16

in a day when God judges the hidden things of men, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.

Comment –

In Romans 1:18-31 God revealed His eternal power and divinity in His creation; but men suppressed the truth in unrighteousness. So, what they did know about God, they suppressed in unrighteousness and ended up worshipping the creation more than the creator leaving them without excuse because God revealed it to them. So whether you hear the gospel or not or do not believe the gospel when you hear it; you will still be without excuse. You will be judged according to your works for you salvation by which no flesh will be justified.

God commands all to repent or change their minds and believe the Gospel. Acts 17:30-31
