The Glory of God

in Romans

The Power of God to Save

Jesus Christ, declared to be the Son of God with power

by the resurrection from the dead.

Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome,

I am not ashamed of the astounding news

of Jesus Christ:

for it is the power of God to save

everyone that believes.

God has shown Himself to us,

clearly seen by what He made,

even His eternal power and Godhead.

Don’t despise the riches of His goodness

for the goodness of God leads you back to Him,

who is Life.

God will give to every man according to his deeds: trouble on ones that do evil,

and glory, honor, and peace, to ones that do good: for there is no respect of persons with God.

A day is coming when God will judge

the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.

All have sinned:

there are none that seek after God.

No one is justified by the deeds of the law:

the law shows us what sin is.

All have sinned

for no one equals the glory of God.

But He justifies all who will,

freely by His grace:

to him that doesn’t work for it,

but believes on Him that justifies the ungodly,

his faith is counted for righteousness.

Galatians 4:5

The promise, that he would be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham and his seed,

through the law,

but through the righteousness of faith.

It is of faith, that it might be by grace;

so it can be to everyone;

Abraham believed God,

who makes alive the dead,

and calls those things that are not

as though they are.

He was certain that

what God had promised,

He was able also to do.

Romans 4:13,16,17,21

Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1

And the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Spirit who is given to us.

When we were still without strength,

in due time,

Christ died for the ungodly.

God displays His love toward us,

in that, while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified

by His blood,

we will be saved from wrath through Him.

If, when we were enemies,

we were reconciled to God

by the death of His Son,

much more,

being reconciled,

we will be saved by His life.

Romans 5:8-10

We are buried with Him by baptism into death: so, as Christ was raised from the dead

by the glory of the Father,

even so we will walk in newness of life.

He died to sin once and now lives to God.

Sin can’t rule over us

for we aren’t under the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:4,10,14

Now being made free from sin, having become servants to God, our lives produce holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death;

but the gift of God is eternal life

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:22,23

We are dead to the law

by the body of Christ

to be married to another,

to Him who is raised from the dead.

Romans 7:4

But I keep falling back to my old ways.

who can deliver me from this?

I thank God who give us the victory

through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Romans 7:24,25

There is now no condemnation

to those in Christ Jesus,

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.

If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you,

He that raised up Christ from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies

by His Spirit that dwells in you.

Romans 8:1,2,11

The Spirit Himself bears witness

with our spirit,

that we are the children of God:

and if children, then heirs;

heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ.

Know that the sufferings of this present time

aren’t worthy to be compared with the glory

that will be revealed in us.

The Spirit also helps our infirmities:

for we don’t know what we should pray for:

but the Spirit makes intercession for us.

God is working all things together

for good to those that love Him.

Romans 8:16,17,18,26,28

Since God is for us,

who can be against us?

He that didn’t spare His own Son,

but delivered Him up for us all,

how will He not, with Him,

also freely give us all things?

I am persuaded, that not death, or life,

or angels, or anything

is able to separate us

from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31,32,38,39

Through all this

God wanted to show

the riches of His glory on all.

Romans 9:23

For Christ is the end of the law

for righteousness

to everyone that believes.

Romans10:4

And the Lord over all

is rich to all that call upon him.

For whoever calls on the name of the Lord

will be saved. Romans 10:12,13

Faith comes by hearing, the word of God. Romans 10:17

Look at the goodness and severity of God:

on those which fell, severity;

but toward you, goodness,

if you continue in His goodness:

otherwise, you also will be cut off.

God has enclosed all in unbelief,

that He might have mercy on all.

O the depth of the riches of the wisdom

and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable are His judgments,

and His ways past finding out!

For of Him, and through Him,

and to Him, are all things:

to whom be glory forever.

Romans 11:22,32,33,36

Love does no ill to its neighbor.

Therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.

So, let’s always put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh,

to fulfill its lusts.

Romans13:10,14

Because, whether we live,

we live to the Lord;

and whether we die,

we die to the Lord.

whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose,

and lives again,

that He might be Lord

both of the dead and living.

Romans14:8,9

Receive one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. Romans15:7

For to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Romans16:27

In His Glory Forever

The Glory of God

in 1 Corinthians 1-3

‘You have the mind of Christ.’

2 Corinthians 2:1

Who has known the mind of the Lord,

that he may instruct him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:16

Who wouldn’t want to know the mind of the Christ,

to have the mind of the Lord

who created all things by simply speaking?

Who created each person in His image.

Genesis 1:27

He spoke and it was done.

He commanded and it stood firm

(infinitely and eternally

because He is infinite and eternal).

Psalm 33:6,9

Infinite capacity because He is infinite.

The word of God is the mind of Christ.

The more of the holy scriptures we know,

the more of His mind we have

inside our heart

to make your thinking and His the same.

Can two walk together unless agree?

Amos 3:3

All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect,

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:16, 17

(Thoroughly furnished. It’s all we need.)

Paul, to those in Christ Jesus,

called to be saints,

with all in every place that call upon the name of Jesus, That in everything you are enriched by Him,

Who holds you firmly to the end,

so you will be blameless

in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;

and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

1 Corinthians 1:26

God chose the weak things of the world

to confound the mighty,

so that no one will boast in His presence.

Only He is infinite and eternal love, power, beauty, holiness, wisdom, grace and every good thing,

He is the Source, the fountain of it all.

And of Him we are in Christ Jesus,

who of God is our wisdom, and righteousness,

and sanctification, and redemption.

God is faithful who called you to be with Him,

in His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

So be perfectly joined together in the same mind.

For I hear there are divisions among you.

Was Paul crucified for you? Or anyone else?

The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those perishing but to us who are saved it is

the power of God.

All power is given to me in heaven and in earth,

Jesus said in Matthew 28:18.

God made foolish the wisdom of this world.

For by the wisdom of the world

they didn't know God.

The foolishness of God is wiser than men.

He knows everything.

And the weakness of God is stronger than men,

He is all power.

That your faith would not stand

in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,

ordained before the world to our glory.

Eye hasn’t seen or ear heard,

or entered the heart of man,

the things which God has prepared for those that love him.

But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit:

for the Spirit searches all things,

the deep things of God.

But among you is envy and strife, saying,

I am of Paul or of Apollos.

Who are we but servants through whom you believed.

I planted, Apollos watered;

but God gave the increase.

The one that plants isn’t anything

or one that waters,

but God that gives the increase.

We are workers together with God.

I laid the foundation (Christ),

and another builds on it.

But let every man watch what he builds:

gold, silver, precious stones, (God’s word and Spirit)

or wood, hay, stubble (works of pride and the old self), because it will be revealed by fire;

the fire will test every man's work showing what sort it is.

If a man's work remains he will receive a reward.

If it is burned, he will suffer loss:

but he himself will be saved; yet so as by fire.

Know that you are the temple of God,

and that the Spirit of God dwells in you.

If you defile the temple of God, you destroy yourself because the temple of God is holy.

Let no man deceive himself,

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,

that they are empty and self-centered.

I have created you for My glory,

I made you. Isaiah 43:7

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

that being rooted and grounded in love,

you will know with all saints

how infinitely wonderful He is,

and be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17-19

So don’t be in awe of men.

For all things are yours

and you are Christ’s

and Christ is God’s.

The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,

the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

Psalm 33:11

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,

and made higher than the heavens;

by one offering He has perfected forever

those that believe in Him.

Hebrews 7:26, 10:14

Come to Me, all that labor and are loaded down,

and I will give you rest.

Join with Me and learn of Me

for I am humble and low in heart:

and you will find rest for your souls.

What I require is easy and light.

Ones that overcome will sit with Me

on My throne. Revelation 3:21

Come, share My eternal glory,

that’s what I made you for:

to love you with My everlasting love,

It’s what I died for. Jeremiah 31:3

To know Him is life eternal. John 17:3

The Lord your God in you is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over you with joy;

He will rest in His love,

He will joy over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17

He will joy over you with singing.

The Glory of God

in 1 Corinthians 4-6

The Lord, the Judge

Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Genesis 18:25

Sing to the Lord.

Make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King. Let the sea roar and its fullness, the world,

and those that there.

Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord;

for He comes to judge the earth

with righteousness and equity. Psalm 98:5-9

Stewards of the mysteries of God:

It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

I don’t judge.

For I know nothing by Myself;

He that judges me is the Lord.

And the Father judges no man,

but has committed all judgment to the Son.

John 5:21

Therefore judge nothing before the time,

until the Lord comes,

who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness,

and will show the counsels of the hearts:

and then every man will have praise from God.

(For not following evil,

but against much opposition,

seeking and following truth,

walking with Him in faith.)

Do not to think of men above what is written,

(all are sinners saved by His Grace)

that you not be puffed up one against another.

For who makes you different from each other? (God)

and what do you have that you didn’t receive?

If you received it,

how can you boast as though it came from you?

I think God has set us forth as illustrations

of His power living inside us.

Being reviled, we bless;

being persecuted, we are carried on in His power.

Some of you are puffed up.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills it,

and I will know, if you walk in His power.

For the kingdom of God is not in word,

but in power.

I hear that there is fornication among you,

and such fornication as is not so much as named among the nations, that one has his father's wife.

He that is doing this

should be taken away from among you.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

when you are gathered together

with my spirit,

and with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

deliver this one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,

that his spirit may be saved

in the day of the Lord Jesus.

A little yeast puffs up the whole loaf of bread.

Cleanse out the old pride that you may be new.

For Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.

Our old life has been replaced

by His infinitely perfect one.

Let’s not celebrate this with malice and wickedness;

but with pure bread of sincerity and truth.

Being with fornicators, or covetous people,

or extortioners, or idolaters

will lead you to be taken out of the world.

But those that are outside the church God judges.

You put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

If you have disputes among yourselves,

don’t go to the courts of the world,

bring it before the saints.

Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world?

the saints will judge angels?

It’s better to let yourselves be wronged

than to display such lack of integrity before the world.

You make God look bad.

Don’t you know

that the unrighteous won’t inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived: no fornicators, or idolaters,

or adulterers, or effeminate,

or abusers of themselves with mankind, or thieves,

or covetous, or drunkards, or revilers,

or extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God.

You were like these at one time, but now are washed,

and sanctified and justified

in the name/person of the Lord Jesus

and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me,

all things are not expedient:

all things are lawful for me,

but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food

but God will destroy both it and them.

Now the body is not for fornication,

but for the Lord;

and the Lord for the body.

And God has both raised up the Lord

and will also raise up us by His own power.

Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I take the members of Christ,

and join them to a harlot?

God forbid.

He that is joined to a harlot is one body

for ‘the two, He says, will be one flesh.’

Genesis 2:24

But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

Flee fornication.

Every sin that a man does is outside the body;

but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.

What? Don’t you that your body

is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,

who you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought with a price:

therefore, glorify God in your body,

and in your spirit,

which are God's.

1 Corinthians 4-6

You were bought

at the highest price ever paid for anything.

The precious blood of the eternal Son of God.

1 Peter 1:18, 19

Who bore all our sins

in His own body on the cross

making us ‘holy as He is holy.’

We can honor that by walking with Him,

keeping ourselves in His infinitely exquisite love:

that will show these temptations are empty lies.

Holy, harmless, undefiled,

separate from sinners, higher than the heavens.

Hebrews 7:26

Who gave up everything to have a relationship with you. Who loves you with a love so deep

to know would break your heart.

Dr. McGee

And invites everyone to walk with Him

on streets of gold

in His eternal kingdom

where nothing bad can every happen.

‘I give to them eternal life.

They will never perish.

Nothing can pluck them out of My hand.

I love you with an everlasting love.

Jeremiah 31:3

The Spirit and the bride

say, Come!

The Glory of God

in 1,2 Corinthians ii

Love never fails

By one Spirit we are all baptized into one body.

Now you are the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:27

God is love. 1 John 4:8

Love suffers long and is kind; love doesn’t envy.

love doesn’t flaunt itself. It’s not puffed up.

It doesn’t behave unbecomingly, isn’t selfish, isn’t easily provoked, doesn’t think evil, doesn’t rejoice in iniquity

but rejoices in the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort

who comforts us in all our pressures.

We have the sentence of death in ourselves,

that we not trust in ourselves,

but in God who raises the dead.

He delivered us from so great a death

by the grace of God.

Now He that establishes us with you in Christ,

and anointed us, is God;

who sealed us and gave the pledge (down payment)

of the Spirit in our hearts.

Now thanks be to God,

who always causes us to triumph in Christ,

and shows the fragrance of the knowledge

of Him in every place.

We are not sufficient of ourselves.

Our sufficiency is of God

who has made us able ministers of the new covenant.

Now thanks be to God,

who always causes us to triumph in Christ,

If the law carved on stone was glorious

(showing God’s wonderful purity and holiness),

so that the children of Israel

could not continue to gaze at the face of Moses

for the shining glory of his face,

which faded,

won’t the working of the Spirit filling each one

with His righteousness be much more glorious?

Now the Lord is the Spirit:

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

And we all, with open face

beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,

are changed into the same image

from glory to glory,

by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:17,18

God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,

has shined in our hearts,

to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God

in the face of Jesus Christ.

We have this treasure in earthen vessels,

that the excellency of the power may be of God,

and not of us.

And He who raised up the Lord Jesus

will raise up us also by Jesus

and will present us with you.

If our earthly body is dissolved,

we have a building of God,

eternal in the heavens.

So, the ability to die is swallowed up by life.

He that has done this for us is God.

To be absent from the body,

is to be present with the Lord.

The love of Christ holds us.

He died for all so that we no longer live to ourselves

but to Him who died for us and rose again.

2 Corinthians 5:15

God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself,

not putting our trespasses on us, but on Him.

If any man is in Christ, he is a new creation:

old things have passed away

and all things have become new.

And all things are of God,

who reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ.

He made Him to be sin for us,

who knew no sin;

that we might be made

the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5

You are the temple of the living God;

as God has said,

I will dwell in them and be their God,

and they will be My people.

2 Corinthians 6

There is only one God, the Father,

of whom are all things,

and we in Him;

and one Lord Jesus Christ,

by whom are all things,

and we by Him.

The cup of blessing which we bless,

is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?

His limitless love for us.

The bread which we break,

is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

His infinitely glorious being, with us.

1 Corinthians 10:31

And you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that, though He was rich, infinitely,

yet for our sakes He became poor,

that we through His poverty might be rich.

Therefore, by these promises,

dearly beloved,

let us cleanse ourselves

from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Love and reverence toward Him

clears the heart and mind of all that is worthless,

fulfilling the first and great command to

love Him with all our being,

for that’s how He loves us.

Whatever situation we find ourselves in,

He says, My grace is enough for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

So we glory in our infirmities,

that the power of Christ may rest on us.

2 Corinthians 12:9

We live with Him by the power of God.

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,

higher than the heavens.

Who by one sacrifice perfected forever

those that believe in Him.

Hebrews 7:26,10:14

And says to all,

Come to Me all you that labor and are heavy loaded.

I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28-30

And I will come again

and receive you to Myself

that where I am you will be. John 14:3

The throne of the universe

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.

2 Corinthians 9:15

Unspeakable

The Glory of God

in Galatians

Delivered from evil

Paul, an apostle, (not of men but by Jesus Christ,

and God the Father,

who raised Him from the dead;)

to the churches of Galatia:

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father,

and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who gave Himself for our sins,

to deliver us from this present evil world,

according to the will of God and our Father:

To whom be glory forever and ever.

I marvel that you are so soon removed

Him that called you into the grace of Christ

to some who are twisting the truth of Christ.

But though we, or an angel from heaven,

preach any other gospel let him be cursed.

Do we seek to please men?

Then we’re not serving Christ.

The truth I told you came to me only

by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

You know my past, how I tried

to destroy the church of Jesus Christ.

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

I talked to no one in the church.

False brothers have sneaked in

to try to bring us back under the law

that Christ already fulfilled in our place.

Knowing that a man is not justified

by the works of the law,

but by the faith of Jesus Christ,

even we have believed in Jesus Christ,

we might be justified by the faith of Christ,

and not by the works of the law:

for by the works of the law no one will be justified.

For I, through the law, am dead to the law,

that I might live to God.

I am crucified with Christ,

yet I live; not I,

but Christ lives in me:

and the life I now live I live

by the faith of the Son of God,

who loves me, and gave Himself for me.

Do not frustrate the grace of God:

for if righteousness comes by the law,

then Christ died for nothing.

Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law

or by hearing about faith?

Do we start in the Spirit

then go on in our own wisdom and strength?

His is infinite!

Have we suffered all our pressures for nothing?

No!

Abraham believed God,

and it was counted to him for righteousness.

The prophecies,

foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith,

said to Abraham, In you all nations will be blessed.

So then, those that are of faith

are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Those that trust in the law have to do the whole law perfectly because it is one law with many parts.

If you break one, you broke them all.

But no man is justified by the law

in the sight of God for,

The just live by faith.

Romans 1:17

And Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law,

taking the curse for us,

so the blessing of Abraham might come on all,

that we might receive the promise of the Spirit

through faith.

The inheritance by faith was promised

to Abraham 430 years before the law was given.

The law was given so mankind would see that

the holiness of God is too high to reach.

He has to lift us up to Himself.

The law was our teacher to bring us to Christ,

that we might be justified by faith.

Those of you that have been baptized into Christ

have put on Christ,

where there isn't Jew or Gentile,

no slave or free, no male or female:

for you are all one in Christ Jesus,

and heirs of the promise.

When the fullness of the time came

God sent His Son, born of a woman,

made under the law,

to redeem those that were under the law,

to receive the adoption of sons.

You are sons

and heirs of God

through Christ.

Stand fast therefore in the freedom

where Christ made us free,

don’t be tangled in the law.

Now you live by faith which is powered by love.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

long-suffering, gentleness, goodness,

faith. meekness, and self-control:

against such things there is no law.

The works of the flesh are adultery, murder, idolatry,

witchcraft, hatred and every evil thing.

Don’t be deceived;

God is not mocked:

for whatever a man sows, he will reap.

Only glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

by whom the world is crucified to us,

and us to the world;

we are new creations.

God, who at different times and in different ways

spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,

whom He has appointed heir of all things,

by whom also He made the worlds;

Who being the brightness of His glory,

and the exact image of His person,

and upholding all things by the word of His power,

when He had, by himself,

erased from existence our sins,

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Hebrews 1:1-3

The Lord Himself will descend from heaven

with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trumpet of God:

and the dead in Christ will rise first:

then we who are alive and remain

will be caught up together with them in the clouds,

to meet the Lord in the air:

and will always be with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,

higher than the heavens.

Hebrews 7:26

Who loves us so much that He took all sins of the universe away forever in His own body on the cross, exchanging it for His holiness.

I give you Myself to be your eternal perfection

Our eternal perfection
