1 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the FATHER of lights, with WHOM is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17) "GOD is LIGHT, and in HIM is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5) "The LIGHT which no man can approach unto, WHOM no man hath seen, nor can see. (1 Timothy 6:16) No man hath seen GOD at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the FATHER, he hath declared HIM. (John 1:18) Dwelling in the LIGHT which no man can approach unto; WHOM no man hath seen nor can see: to WHOM be honour and power everlasting. Amen." (1 Timothy 6:16) No man hath seen GOD at any time. (1 John 4:12) For Jesus said, GOD is a Spirit. (John 4:24) The invisible GOD. (Colossians 1:15 The FATHER of spirits. (Hebrews 12:9) GOD and our FATHER: to WHOM be GLORY for ever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1:4-5) The FATHER of lights. (James 1:17) Ye are all The children of LIGHT." (1 Thessalonians 5:5) In him {Jesus} was life; and the life was the light of men That was the true LIGHT, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. (John 1:4, 9), {MAN: 1. Human being (Webster s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary)} Paul said, Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of GOD, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life. (Philippians 2:14-16) Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16) Paul said, To us {Christians} there is but one GOD the FATHER of WHOM are all things, [ One GOD and FATHER of all, WHO is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6)] and we in HIM. (1 Corinthians 8:6) For Jesus said, GOD is a Spirit. (John 4:24) 1

2 For in HIM we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also HIS offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of GOD. (Acts 17:28-29) "GOD our FATHER." (Romans 1:7) (1 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Thessalonians 1:1, 2) (1 Timothy 1:2) (Philemon 3) (Ephesians 1:2) (Colossians 1:2) (Philippians 4:20) (1 Thessalonians 3:11, 3) The FATHER of spirits. (Hebrews 12:9) For GOD is a Spirit. (John 4:24) Paul said, For as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD. [ And because ye are sons, GOD hath sent forth the Spirit of HIS Son into your hearts, crying ABBA, FATHER. (Galatians 4:6)] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, ABBA, FATHER. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD. (Romans 8:16) The children of the living GOD. (Romans 9:26) "GOD our FATHER." (Romans 1:7) (1 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Thessalonians 1:1, 2) (1 Timothy 1:2) (Philemon 3) (Ephesians 1:2) (Colossians 1:2) (Philippians 4:20) (1 Thessalonians 3:11, 3) Jesus said, The hour cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the FATHER in spirit and in truth: for the FATHER seeketh such to worship HIM. GOD is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24) Paul said, But we are bound to give thanks always to GOD for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because GOD hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:13) Jesus said, These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the FATHER. [Jesus said, And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the FATHER in my name, HE will give it you. Hitherto have ye ask nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:23-24)] At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the FATHER for you: for the FATHER HIMSELF loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from GOD. I came forth from the FATHER, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the FATHER. (John 16:25-28) Jesus said, And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Matthew 21:22) 2

3 NOTE: James said, Ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:2-3) Paul said, Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of GOD. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:1-2) John said, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the FATHER is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the FATHER, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lusts thereof: but he that doeth the will of GOD abideth for ever. (1 John 2:15-17) James said, Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with GOD? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of GOD. (James 4:4) Paul said, And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, [ For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of LIGHT: For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and RIGHTEOUSNESS and truth: Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the LIGHT: for whatsoever doth make manifest is LIGHT. [At one point Paul said, O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank GOD through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24-25)] Wherefore HE saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT. (Ephesians 5:8-14) The Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his GLORIOUS body. (Philippians 3:20-21) And his face did shine as the SUN, and his raiment was white as the LIGHT. (Matthew 17:2)] and let us put on the armour of LIGHT. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Romans 13:11-14) John said, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. (1 John 3:5-6) 3

4 Paul said, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1) Paul said, Be not deceived; GOD is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7-8) Paul said, Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:12-13) And they that are Christ s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Galatians 5:24) Paul said, This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against GOD: for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can be. (Romans 8:5-7) Paul said, Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: but we speak the wisdom of GOD in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which GOD ordained before the world unto our GLORY: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they know it, they would not have crucified the Lord of GLORY. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD hath prepared for them that love HIM. { The love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5:5)} But GOD hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of GOD. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of GOD knoweth no man, but the Spirit of GOD. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:6-16) My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. (Galatians 4:19) Paul said, Wherefore I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of GOD which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of GOD; even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to HIS saints: to whom GOD would make known what is the riches of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of GLORY: whom we preach, warning every man, and 4

5 teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. (Colossians 1:25-27) Paul told the Thessalonians, But we are bound to give thanks always to GOD for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because GOD hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto HE called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the GLORY of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14) Paul told Titus, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which HE shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. (Titus 3:5-6) REGENERATION: Regenerate: formed or created again : spiritually reborn or converted : restored to a better, higher, or more worthy state. (Webster s seventh New Collegiate Dictionary) RENEWING: to make new spiritually : Regenerate : to restore to existence: Revive: to return to consciousness or life : To bring back or put back into a former or original state Dictionary) (Webster s seventh New Collegiate Paul said, That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on { The new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. (Colossians 3:10)} the new man, which after GOD is created in RIGHTEOUSNESS and true HOLINESS. (Ephesians 4:22-24) Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD. (John 3:3) The invisible GOD. (Colossians 1:15) For GOD is a Spirit. (John 4:24) Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:5-7) Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3) CONVERT: to alter the physical or chemical nature or properties of : to change from one form or function to another. (Webster s seventh New Collegiate Dictionary) Paul said, For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his GLORIOUS body. (Philippians 3:20-21) 5

6 John said, Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17) Paul said, I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of GOD. (Romans 12:2) Jesus said, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my FATHER which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21) Paul said, Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which worketh in you both to will and to do of HIS good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of GOD, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life. (Philippians 2:12-16) The word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. (Ephesians 1:13) Jesus told his disciples, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; [Believe what? the GOSPEL Paul said, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to every one that believeth. (Romans 1:16)] but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 14:15-18) Paul said, But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8) Jesus said, Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:7-9) Jesus said, The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the FATHER in spirit and in truth: for the FATHER seeketh such to worship HIM. GOD is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24) Jesus said, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of GOD is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:15) 6

7 Jesus said, My doctrine is not mine, but HIS that sent me. If any man will do HIS will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of GOD, or whether I speak of myself. (John 7:16-17) Jesus said, For I have not spoken of myself; but the FATHER which sent me, HE gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that HIS commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the FATHER said unto me, so I speak. (John 12:49-50) Jesus praying to his FATHER, said, And this is life eternal, that they might know THEE the only true GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom THOU hast sent. (John 17:3) Jesus said, If GOD were your FATHER, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from GOD; neither came I of myself, but HE sent me. (John 8:42) Jesus said, I came forth from the FATHER, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the FATHER. (John 6:28) Jesus said, Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the FATHER: for my FATHER is greater than I. (John 14:28) Jesus said, He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my FATHER, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:21) Jesus said, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my FATHER will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mime, but the FATHER S which sent me. (John 14:23-24) Jesus said, And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luke 6:46) Jesus said, Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal: for where you treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6:19-21) Jesus said, No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve GOD and mammon. MAMMON: material wealth or possessions (Webster s seventh New Collegiate Dictionary) [Paul said, If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw 7

8 thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us therewith be content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of GOD, flee these things; and follow after Righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called. (1 Timothy 6:3-12) For the grace of GOD that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, Righteously, and godly, in this present world. (Titus 2:11-12) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the MOST HIGH. (Psalm 82:6)] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly FATHER feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if GOD so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall HE not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: { For all these things do the nations of the world seek after. (Luke 12:30)} for your heavenly FATHER knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD, and HIS Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:31-34) Jesus said, The kingdom of GOD cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for behold, the kingdom of GOD is within you. (Luke 17:20-21) One GOD and FATHER of all, WHO is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6) Paul said, Know ye not that ye are the temple of GOD, and that the Spirit of GOD dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of GOD, him shall GOD destroy; for the temple of GOD is holy, which temple ye are. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) Paul said, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the Righteousness of GOD revealed from faith to faith: as it is written the just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17) 8

9 Even the Righteousness of GOD which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe. (Romans 3:22) Believe what? The GOSPEL Jesus said, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:23) Jesus said, And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (Matthew 10:38) Jesus said, And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27) Paul said, For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Philippians 3:18-19) Paul said, But GOD forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Galatians 6:14) At one point Paul said, I die daily. (1 Corinthians 15:31) For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. (2 Corinthians 4:11) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:10) Paul said, But though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16) My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. (Galatians 4:19) Paul said, But when it pleased GOD, WHO separated me from my mother s womb, and called me by HIS grace, to reveal HIS Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen. (Galatians 1:15-16) Paul said, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of GOD, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20) And they that are Christ s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Galatians 5:24) Jesus said, For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17:20) Paul said, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD. (Ephesians 2:8) 9

10 The Faith of Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:22, Galatians 2:16) My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. (Galatians 4:19) Jesus said, And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Matthew 21:22) Jesus said, Thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy FATHER which is in secret; and thy FATHER which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your FATHER knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask HIM. After this manner therefore pay ye: Our FATHER which art in heaven, Hallowed {HOLY} be THY name. THY kingdom come. THY will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For THINE is the kingdom, and the power, and the GLORY, for ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:6-14) Jesus said, For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly FATHER will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your FATHER forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:15) Paul said, To us there is but one GOD, the FATHER, [ The GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:17) The GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)] of WHOM are all things, [ One GOD and FATHER of all, WHO is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6)] and we in HIM. (1 Corinthians 8:6) For GOD is a Spirit. (John 4:24) For in HIM we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said, for we are also HIS offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of GOD. (Acts 17:28-29) "GOD our FATHER." (Romans 1:7) (1 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Corinthians 1:3) (2 Thessalonians 1:1, 2) (1 Timothy 1:2) (Philemon 3) (Ephesians 1:2) (Colossians 1:2) (Philippians 4:20) (1 Thessalonians 3:11, 3) Jesus saith unto her {Mary Magdalene}, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my FATHER: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my FATHER, and your FATHER; and to my GOD, and your GOD. (John 20:17) Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. (Hebrews 13:12) 10

11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Saying, I will declare THY name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto THEE. and again, I will put my trust in HIM. And again, Behold I and the children which GOD hath given me. (Hebrews 2:11-12) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, FATHER, the hour is come; GLORIFY THY Son, that THY Son also may GLORIFY THEE: As THOU hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as THOU hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know THEE the only true GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom THOU hast sent. (John 17:1-3) Jesus said, If GOD were your FATHER, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from GOD; neither came I of myself, but HE sent me. (John 8:42) Jesus said, My doctrine is not mine, but HIS that sent me. If any man will do HIS will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of GOD, or whether I speak of myself. (John 7:16-17) Jesus said, For I have not spoken of myself; but the FATHER which sent me, HE gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that HIS commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the FATHER said unto me, so I speak. (John 12:49-50) GOD said through the prophet Joel, And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith GOD, I will pour out of MY Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on MY servants and on MY handmaidens I will pour out in those days of MY Spirit; and they shall prophesy. (Acts 2:17-19) Peter said, GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD was with him. (Acts 10:38) Again Paul said, To us there is but one GOD, the FATHER, of WHOM are all things, and we in HIM. (1 Corinthians 8:6) For in HIM we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said, for we are also HIS offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of GOD. (Acts 17:28-29) Jesus said, Believest thou not that I am in the FATHER, and the FATHER in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the FATHER that dwelleth in me HE doeth the works. (John 14:10) Peter said, Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of GOD among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which GOD did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. (Acts 2:22) 11

12 Jesus said, Say ye of him whom the FATHER hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said I am the Son of GOD. (John 10:36) The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the FATHER in truth and love. (2 John 3) HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord, { The Lord from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:47)}, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of GOD with power, according to the spirit of Holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. (Romans 1:3-4) HIS Son from heaven, whom HE raised from the dead. (1 Thessalonians 1:10) GOD sending HIS own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. (Romans 8:3) When the fulness of the time was come, GOD sent forth HIS Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5) According as HE hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame before HIM in love: having predestinate us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to HIMSELF, according to the good pleasure of HIS will. (Ephesians 1:4-5) The Lord asked Job, Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy? (Job 38:4-7) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose. For whom HE did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:28-29) And because ye are sons, GOD hath sent forth the Spirit of HIS Son into your hearts, crying, ABBA, FATHER. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of GOD through Christ. (Galatians 4:6) HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things. (Hebrews 1:2) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of HIM WHO worketh all things after the counsel of HIS own will. (Ephesians 1:11) The FATHER, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in LIGHT: WHO hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of HIS dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:12-14) Him hath GOD exalted with HIS right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31) 12

13 Jesus Christ, who in the Faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto GOD and his FATHER; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:5-6) The Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of GOD and our FATHER: to WHOM be GLORY for ever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1:3-5) The great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:13-14) To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in HOLINESS before GOD, even our FATHER, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. (1 Thessalonians 3:13) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the MOST HIGH. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:6-7) Forasmuch then as the children { The children of the living GOD. (Romans 9:26)} are partakers of flesh and blood, he { The Christ the Son of the living GOD. (Matthew 16:16, John 6:69) The firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29) The Christ, the Son of GOD, which should come into the world. (John 11:27)} also himself likewise took part of the same; [ Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:7-8)] that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to GOD, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Hebrews 2:14-18) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh but quickened by the Spirit. (1 Peter 3:18) The next day John {the Baptist} seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29) 13

14 Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in GOD, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him GLORY; that your faith and hope might be in GOD. (1 Peter 1:19-21) Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to GOD. (Hebrews 9:14) This man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of GOD. (Hebrews 10:12) It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of GOD, who also maketh intercession for us. (Romans 8:34) For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of GOD for us. (Hebrews 9:24) And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the FATHER, Jesus Christ the Righteous. (1 John 2:1) For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all. (1 Timothy 2:5-6) The great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:13-14) Jesus said, For as the FATHER hath life in HIMSELF; so hath HE given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (John 5:26-27) Because HE hath appointed a day, in the which HE will judge the world in Righteousness by that man whom HE hath ordained; whereof HE hath given assurance unto all men, in that HE hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31) HIS Son from heaven, whom HE raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:10) HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of GOD with power, according to the spirit of HOLINESS, by the resurrection from the dead. (Romans 1:3-4) The Lord from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:47) The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the FATHER, in truth and love. (2 John 3) Jesus said, To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my FATHER in HIS throne. (Revelation 3:21) 14

15 For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to GOD. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to GOD. (Romans 14:10-12) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10) John said, And I saw a great white throne, and HIM that sat on it, from WHOSE face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small and great, stand before GOD; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-115) Jesus said, He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my FATHER, and before HIS angels. (Revelation 3:5) Peter said, GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: him GOD raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of GOD, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of GOD to be the judge of quick {the living} and dead. (Acts 10:38-42) Paul said, In the day when GOD shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Romans 2:16) John said, And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in Righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, [ His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the SUN shineth in his strength. (Revelation 1:14-16)] and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a 15

16 sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:11-16) For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. [Jesus said, For the FATHER judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. (John 5:22)] Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of GOD, let us hold fast our profession. (Hebrews 4:12-14) Jesus said, These things saith the Son of GOD, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (Revelations 2:18, 23) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of GOD. (Romans 8:27) This man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:24-25) HIS Son from heaven, whom HE raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:10) HIS dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature. (Colossians 1:13-15) Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness. (Revelation 1:5) The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of GOD. (Revelation 3:14) Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that GOD hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36) The Christ, the Son of the living GOD. (Matthew 16:16) HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds. Who being the brightness of HIS glory, and the express image of HIS person, and upholding all things by the word of HIS power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the MAJESTY ON HIGH: being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 16

17 For unto which of the angels said HE at any time, Thou art MY Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a FATHER, and he shall be to ME a Son? And again, when HE bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, HE saith, And let all the angels of GOD worship him. And of the angels HE saith, WHO maketh HIS angels spirits, and HIS ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son HE saith, Thy throne O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of RIGHTEOUSNESS is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved RIGHTEOUSNESS, and hated iniquity; therefore GOD, even thy GOD, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And thou Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands. (Hebrews 1:1-10) FELLOW: 1. Comrade, Associate 2. An equal in rank, power, or character: PEER (Webster s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary) Again, The Lord asked Job, Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy? (Job 38:4-7) Jesus answered them {the Jews}, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If HE called them gods, unto whom the word of GOD came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the FATHER hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said I am the Son of GOD. (John 10:34-36) Jesus, thou Son of the MOST HIGH GOD. (Mark 5:7) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the MOST HIGH. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:6-7) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he {Jesus, the firstbegotten. (Hebrews 1:6), the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29)} also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to GOD, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. (Hebrews 2:14-17) Paul said, That there is none other GOD but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be gods many, and lords many {Jesus Christ being The great God and our Saviour. (Titus 2:13)}, but to us there is but one GOD, the FATHER {who Jesus said is, The only true GOD. (John 17:3)}, of WHOM are all things, { One GOD and FATHER of all, WHO is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6)} and we in HIM; and one Lord Jesus Christ { HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 17

18 (Romans 1:3)} by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 Corinthians 8:4-6) And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. (Hebrews 1:10) Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye my know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no Saviour. (Isaiah 43:10-11) Shall the thing formed say to HIM that formed it, Why hast THOU made me thus?" (Romans 9:20) Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that GOD hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36) Him hath GOD exalted with HIS right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31) Paul said, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore GOD also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of GOD the FATHER. (Philippians 2:5-11) HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of GOD with power, according to the spirit of HOLINESS, by the resurrection from the dead. (Romans 1:3-4) HIS dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature. (Colossians 1:13-15) Jesus said, These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of GOD To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my FATHER in HIS throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:14, 21) HIS Son, whom HE hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also HE made the worlds; who being the brightness of HIS glory, and the express image of HIS person, and upholding all things by the word of HIS power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the MAJESTY ON HIGH: Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 18

19 For unto which of the angels said HE at any time, Thou art MY Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a FATHER, and he shall be to ME a Son? And again, when HE bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, HE saith, And let all the angels of GOD worship him. And of the angels HE saith, WHO maketh HIS angels spirits, and HIS ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son HE saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of RIGHTEOUSNESS is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved RIGHTEOUSNESS, and hated iniquity; therefore GOD, even thy GOD, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. (Hebrews 1:2-10) HIS Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 1:3) The Lord from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:47) HIS Son from heaven, whom HE raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:10) Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD. (Hebrews 12:2) This man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto GOD by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:24-25) Even Jesus made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Hebrews 6:20) Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the FATHER, but by me. (John 14:6) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the FATHER. (Ephesians 2:18) Jesus said, Neither knoweth any man the FATHER, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal HIM. (Matthew 11:27) And because ye are sons, GOD hath sent forth the Spirit of HIS Son into your hearts, crying ABBA, FATHER. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of GOD through Christ. (Galatians 4:6-7) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry ABBA, FATHER. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD: and if children, then heirs; heirs of GOD, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also GLORIFIED together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of GOD. (Romans 8:15) 19
