GREAT RESOURCES
When Jesus ascended back into heaven, He left us with two great resources;
the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. The Word is for our instructions
directions, and discipline. The Holy Spirit is the power of the Word.
John 14:25-27
"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
One of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of the Word. Another job is to
teach us the right meaning of the Word.
Acts 1:7-8
He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
The Holy Spirit is the driver of the ministry of Jesus Christ. Living within us is the
power of God.
In this verse and others throughout the Old and New Testaments the Holy Trinity
is revealed; God the Father, God The Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God
in three persons.
GOD THE FATHER: Ephesians 1:2
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ
GOD THE SON: John 1:1-2
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning (Jesus is the Word)
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT: Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
GOD IS HOLY
He is pure and without sin
Hebrews 7:26
26 Such a high priest meets our need — one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
GOD IS INFINITE
God has no boundaries. Nothing can contain Him
Acts 17:24-25
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he gives all men life and breath and everything else
GOD IS OMNISCIENT
God knows everything. God cannot learn anything
Isaiah 46:10
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say: My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
GOD IS OMNIPRESENT
Psalms 139:7-10
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
NIV
GOD IS OMNIPOTENT
The power of God cannot be measured or even comprehended by the human mind
He created everything out of nothing.
Isaiah 55:11
So is my word that goes out of my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
GOD IS LOVE
1 John 4:16-17
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment because in this world we are like him.
GOD IS ETERNAL
God has no ending and no beginning. He always existed.
Isaiah 40:28
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
Psalms 90:2
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
GOD IS RIGHTEOUS
Psalms 11:7
For the Lord is righteous,
he loves justice; upright men will see his face.
THE LORD IS SOVEREIGN
Romans 11:33-36
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35 "Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
GOD IS UNCHANGING
Hebrews 13:9
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
