The Spirit Of The Lord Spake By Me, And His Word Was In My Tongue - Part 2775

 "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God ... (I Timothy 1:17)

"Ye are My witnesses ... before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me." (Isaiah 43:10)

"In the beginning, God!" (Genesis 1:1)

From the scriptures, we see God as the eternal Spirit Himself repeatedly clothing Himself in a visible and personal form. Remember when God appeared to Abraham in the tent? Or when the same visible form appeared to Moses?  Or to the elders of Israel? Indeed, God Himself veiled the fulness of His glory in bodily form -- the visible image of the invisible Spirit so that He could bring us (His beloved creation) salvation. (Hebrews 13)

"In Him dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily." (Colossians 2:9) 

He did not send another to redeem His precious beloved but willingly came Himself. The Good Shepherd laid down His life for His sheep as the Lamb slain. (Revelation 13:8; I Peter 1:20) God manifest in the flesh so that we could have abundant life. (I Timothy 3:16)

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and was God ... He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:1-3, 10-11, 14) 

The same Lord God who spoke the world into existence in the beginning later took on sin prone flesh (yet without sin), shedding His precious holy blood on a cross, so that our sins (though they be as crimson) would be as white as snow -- when we decidedly in our heart believe on the Lord Jesus. 

"By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." (Psalm 33:6) 

Throughout the scriptures, the Word of the Lord spoke to His prophets and the psalmist. 

"The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue." (II Samuel 23:2)

"Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, "This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit," saith the Lord of hosts." (Zechariah 4:6)

"... but the Word of the Lord endures for ever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you." (I Peter 1:25)

"Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by Him believe in God." (I Peter 1:18-21) 

By whom? His name is JESUS for He shall save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21-23)

More to come. Stand in the offering plate.
