The scriptures speak all about Christ

 





𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:9 

And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:10

 from the time I appointed judges to rule my people. And I will subdue all your enemies. " 'And now I declare that the Lord will build a house for you—a dynasty of kings!


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:11 

For when you die, I will raise up one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12 

He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:13

 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my unfailing love from him as I took it from Saul, who ruled before you.


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:14

 I will establish him over my dynasty and my kingdom for all time, and his throne will be secure forever.' "


Now, lets us come to understand the verse 9

"And I have provided a permanent homeland for my people Israel, a secure place where they will never be disturbed. It will be their own land where wicked nations won't oppress them as they did in the past,"


Note that Israel was not conquered or looking for a land at this moment. David was the king. This should lead to the next question,  "𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙙?"


Look at Colossians 1


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:21 

This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions,


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:22 

yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through his death on the cross in his own human body. As a result, he has brought you 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙, and 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩. 


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲


Now the next question would be "𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙?"


Lets go further into Colossians 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9 

For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body,


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱


1 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 17:12 

He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for me. And I will establish his throne forever.


Lets look at John 2 vs 19-22


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:19 

"All right," Jesus replied. " Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. "


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:20 "What!" they exclaimed. "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can do it in three days?"


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:21But by "this temple," Jesus meant his body.


𝐒𝐭. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 2:22 After he was raised from the dead, the disciples remembered that he had said this. And they believed both Jesus and the Scriptures.


Now, the Temple is where the prescence or the fullness of God dwells in. Look at Colossians 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 1:19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.


𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱. 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. 


𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 2:10 

and you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe.


Through the finished work of Jesus,  we have one with Christ. Hence the verse, as Apolstle Paul said


1 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?


𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱


𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱!

THE TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD

 TRUE PLAN AND INTENTION OF GOD Romans 9:22  And the same is true of what God has done. He wanted to show his anger and to make his power known. But he was very patient in enduring those who were the objects of his anger, who were doomed to destruction. Romans 9:23  And he also wanted to reveal his abundant glory, which was poured out on us who are the objects of his mercy, those of us whom he has prepared to receive his glory. During the time of the Law, God was supposed to show his anger to Man for their sins but he was very patient.  What is God's anger? The departure of his presence. He would leave those that has rejected Him. Outside of God is destruction. God knew that we were doomed for destruction. Due to the greatness and richness of love he has for us, he focused more on getting us saved than our flaws.  "He is not slow in fulfilling his promises but he is patient, that all may come to repentance." God's plan has also been to show us his abundance of Glory. 

The New life

  Ephesians 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, Ephesians 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) Ephesians 2:6  And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:  𝖤𝗏𝖾𝗋𝗒 𝖢𝗁𝗂𝗅𝖽 𝗈𝖿 𝖦𝗈𝖽 (𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋) 𝗂𝗌 𝗌𝗂𝗍𝗍𝖾𝖽 𝗍𝗈𝗀𝖾𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝗂𝗇 𝖢𝗁𝗋𝗂𝗌𝗍 𝖩𝖾𝗌𝗎𝗌 " 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀".    𝖶𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝖦𝗈𝖽 𝗌𝖾𝖾𝗌 𝖺 𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋, 𝖧𝖾 𝖽𝗈𝖾𝗌𝗇'𝗍 𝗌𝖾𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗆 𝗂𝗇 𝗌𝗂𝗇. 𝗛𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀.  𝖫𝗈𝗈𝗄 𝖺𝗍 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌  Romans 6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 𝖨𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗎𝗌𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗅𝖺𝗐 𝗈𝖿 𝗉𝗋𝖾𝗍𝖾𝗑𝗍 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗋𝖾𝖺𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗉𝗋𝖾𝗏𝗂𝗈𝗎𝗌 𝖼𝗁𝖺𝗉𝗍𝖾𝗋, 𝗒𝗈𝗎'𝗅𝗅

Lean on God

  Beloved, do not lean or trust on yourself to please God but trust in Christ Jesus. . . . You can never please God by your works. It is impossible.  . . . In the old testament, it is said that a man's act of righteousness is as a "filthy rag" unto God. Good works was just not enough to meet the standard of being right with God. . . . But even though we were like filthy rags, He still loved us. With an unending and everlasting love. . . . In the book of Romans 5 vs 8, Apostle Paul "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." . . . God didn't come to die for us because of we've been good our whole lives, He died for us because we've been bad and were still doing bad. . . . This is not a reward, it's a gift. This was not earned, it is free. It was not works but Grace. Ephesians 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved)!!! . . . Christ h
