The Work of Christ Part 1 On the Cross When Jesus had spoken these things, He raised His eyes to heaven [in prayer] and said,  “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify You.     Just as You have given Him power and authority over all mankind,  so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given.     Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true   [supreme and sovereign]   God, Jesus   Christ whom You have sent.     I have glorified You  [down here]  on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do. John 17:1-4 The work of Christ on the cross is in a single word, Salvation. Because of the love of God toward the world Christ had to die on the cross. The scripture says “ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son..” (John 3:16) However Before we go any further on the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, let...

“O  Lord , the God of our fathers,  are You not God in the heavens? And  are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.     2 Chronicles 20:6 When a nation operates free of any other nation’s laws, and makes decisions concerning its citizens’ safety, finances, education and direction without regard to what other nation may or may not be doing. That nation is said to be sovereign. In a monarchy, when a king makes a decision concerning his citizen,  regardless  of what appointed leaders in that nation impose as law, the king’s decree, the king’s decision has dominion over every other authority in the nation, because the king is the sovereign ruler of that nation. So that when a person is said to be sovereign he/she is the boss, the final word, the one who orchestrated the outcome of that which he is sovereign over. When we think of God’s Sovereignt...

The Doctrine of God's Aseity and Self-Suffificenty   “To admit the existence of a need in God is to admit incompleteness in the divine Being. Need is a creature-word and cannot be spoken of the Creator. God has a voluntary relation to everything He has made, but He has no Necessary relation to anything outside of Himself. His interest in His creatures arises from His sovereign good pleasure, not from any need those creatures can supply nor from any completeness they can bring to Him who is complete in himself.” ―  A.W. Tozer,  The Knowledge of the Holy Today we will address two additional attributes of God, His Aseity and His Self-Sufficiency. Because these two are so closely related. I will address them together. Both Aseity and Self-Sufficiency are attributes of God that express is perfection within Himself, and by Himself and even for Himself. The Un-Caused One The notion of Aseity is the highest concept of God that can be imagined by man....

God's Omnipresence in Us When we think of Omnipresence we think as God being everywhere this was addressed earlier in the “ Everywhere of Omnipresence ” or as God incarnating God’s self for man to interact with, this was addressed in the “ Theophany of Omnipresence”  but there is another form of omnipresence that I think should be cleared up. And it is even more complicated than all the rest and of all the Attributes of  God , this is the one that we have power over. This being the incarnation of God which is beyond the physical to the spiritual, it lives in us and speaks to us, and through us, it exists to comfort us, and guide us into full maturation in the works of God. This incarnation is called the Holy Spirit  ( Ruah HaKodesh;  Hebrew ) (Pneuma Hagios;  Greek ) it is given to the believer of Christ as a promise from Jesus Christ. And because every man, woman, and child that walks on this earth has within him the free will to...
