The Glory of the Lord: Christ in you as you the hope of Glory

Outing the Anti-Christ[1]

Prophet Ntemfac Ofege

1-John_4-4.jpgColossians 1: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Friend, never read your Bible like you were reading a common story.

Always listen to the spirit behind the words that you are reading for God is his word and he is to be found in the sprit behind the Word.

The letter of the Bible is dead and killed.

The spirit behind the words will bring you resurrection and life.

For the words that I speak are spirit and they are life.

2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Friend, see something.

1-John_4-12.jpgThe nature and the Glory of my God.

I say my God with a reason and a purpose. For my God causes me to be strong and a mighty man of exploits.

Does your own god do the same for you?

Da 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploit

 

But onto our teaching.

This is what happened one day before the Lord God gave the man Moses the Mosaic Law or the so-called 10 Commandments.

Now this man Moses was special.  He spoke to God face to face as a man as a man speaketh unto his friend.  (Ex 33:11 11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend) spoke his mind to his friend.

Moses did speak to the Lord God face to face but the Bible says of him that he was the meekest man that walked the earth.

Nu 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

Exodus 33 Verse 12. Moses said unto the Lord God: 12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

God answered him: Verse 14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Moses came charging right back. If your presence does not go with us then forget it. Ex33: 15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

Moses had earlier refused to carry out his tasks against Pharaoh until the presence of the Lord God i.e. the Lord God himself accompanied him. Wherein God told him point blank. I will make you a God unto Pharaoh. Just as he did to Gideon later, the Lord God cloaked or clothed himself with Moses as Moses. Ex 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

The power of God is very different from the presence of God. Some men of God function with the power of God but they do not have the presence of God. The presence is better than the power. Jesus had both the presence and the power.

Ac 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

The Lord God now answered Moses: 17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

Does the Lord God know you by name?

Do you want him to know you by name?

Then do this:

4 STEPS to God

http://www.4stepstogod.com/

Moses now landed. Lord, if you will, show me your GLORY!!!!!

Ex 33: 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

God answered him.

 Ex 33: 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.  20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

There are many things in here. Why did God put Moses upon a rock? The old song says Christ is our rock and upon this rock called Christ we stand. Why could Moses only see God from the back?

Because Moses was an Old Testament man, a man who lived in the shadow of the reality that was to come. Amazingly, the same Moses did experience the pleroma or the fullness of the Glory of God called Christ that he so longed to see.  See the account of the Transfiguration of Yeshua the Ha-Mashiach or Jesus the Christ.

Matthew 17: 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,  2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

The same account is in Mark 9.

The Glory of the Lord that Moses perceived in the Old Testament was actually revealed in the coming of Jesus the Christ. And Moses had to be translated from the Old Testament unto the New to actually experience this glory.

Notice that the transfiguration of Jesus could only be fulfilled in the presence of Moses i.e. the Law and Elijah i.e. the Prophet. Surely extreme spiritual energy is made available at the fulfillment of the law and the prophets.

This is the subject of a different teaching.

Also notice that, as per the Bible, account, Moses’ face became as radiant as the Lord God’s when the man Moses stayed in the presence of the Lord for 40 days and forty nights.

The perfume of the El Elyon must have rubbed off the man Moses so he came down smelling very good to put the fear of the Lord unto the stiff-necked hardhearted Jews whom he found in decline.

And the Jews were terrified of Him.

Ex 34:35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

 Yet as amazing as the glory of Moses was, the Bible describes it as fading.

2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12  Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:  13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

You see, friend, Moses was an Old Covenant Man who lived in the shadow of the things to come. The Glory of the Lord rubbed upon him and then quenched. The New Covenant Christ-ian is different. He lives in the presence of God and the Christ is indwelling. That is why the glory upon us is perennial, perpetual and eternal.

Because we dwell in the presence of the Lord God continually and because we look upon him continually we are quickened and translated and transmogrified to be conformed to his image and his nature steadily.

If Moses could become like unto God with a radiant glorious face in 40 days, how much more that that live in his presence forever?

The 3rd Chapter of Corinthians also explicate the CURSE of the ZIONIST-Khazar Jews – the children of the father the devil – they who start all wars on planet Earth this day.

 Verses 14 and 15th say that by living in the Old Testament their hearts is veiled and they can never benefit from the New Covenant and the advent of Immanuel or God with us. Hence they go about their wickedness and sinfulness.

Many have asked the question: Why did God say that no man can behold his face and live?

The answer is simple. God is a spirit and hence visible unto the human eyes. God is not invisible because he is hiding himself away from the lowly creatures of materialistic handicaps and limited spiritual endowments. The situation rather is: “You cannot see my face, for no mortal can see me and live.” No material man could behold the spirit God and preserve his mortal existence. The glory and the spiritual brilliance of the divine personality presence are impossible of approach by the lower groups of spirit beings or by any order of material personalities. The spiritual luminosity of the Father’s personal presence is a “light which no mortal man can approach; which no material creature has seen or can see.” But it is not necessary to see God with the eyes of the flesh in order to discern him by the faith-vision of the spiritualized mind.

Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I am talking to comparatively educated and thus relatively more evolved minds hence I will upscale this discourse to stimulate the intellect of this audience.

Mind and matter

Mind versus matter.

Flesh and spirit.

Flesh versus spirit.

God is a Spirit.

A spirit is infinite. It cannot be defined. It cannot be codified it cannot be controlled it is just that an infinite spirit. The divine mystery consists in the inherent difference which exists between the finite and the infinite, the temporal and the eternal, the time-space creature and Eternal God who dwells in Eternity, the material and the spiritual, the imperfection of man and the perfection of the Lord God, etc. God manifests himself to every one of his creatures up to the fullness of that creature’s capacity to spiritually grasp the qualities of divine truth, beauty, and goodness.

The unbeliever has a problem.

He or she lives in a level of morontia wherein the basic truth of a SPIRIT God is hidden from them.

God reveals himself to every spirit being and to every mortal creature in every sphere and everywhere. The Father reveals all of his gracious and divine self that can be discerned or comprehended by such spirit beings and by such mortal creatures. God is no respecter of persons, either spiritual or material. The divine presence which any child of the universe enjoys at any given moment is limited only by the capacity of such a creature to receive and to discern the spirit actualities of the super-material world.

Herein above is the drama of the unbeliever.

They are blind and live in darkness and until the veil is uplifted or until a photizo of light is shed upon the matter they know not God.

The body of man is finite.

That body is finite only to allow man to live on earth but man is engendered by s spirit God hence man is also infinite.

Man is a spirit, he or she lives in a body and he or she has a soul.

Friend we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience because our heavenly Father wanted it that way.

God the Father is, in potential, the over-controller of matter, mind, and spirit. He is all in all. Sin prevents God from being all in all in his child i.e. the man that he created. Yet the Lord God is one with this sinful child that he loves most dearly. A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Lord God would not want to contend with this wayward child lest he destroys it so God finds a way to as lovingly as possible EMPOWER the child to overcome sin. So that the all in all-ness of the Lord God may be restored.

1Co 15: 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Only by means of his far-flung personality circuit does God deal directly with the personalities of his vast creation of willful creatures, but he is contactable by the fragmentoid of his immense spirit that he put in the man. That spirit, which was once separated by sin, is revived and quickened once the man believes in his heart that Jesus s Lord and confesses with the mouth that Christ is alive in him. This is the arrival of the Christ or the Holy Spirit; the Comforter who will never live us nor forsake us but who will be with us until the end of the ages. The Holy Spirit now indwells the minds of the believing mortals of time and from thence fosters the evolution of the immortal soul from its dead morontia godless state towards the nature and divinity of God the Father.

God speaks from eternity and what he says from eternity will manifest in time. Many have misconstructed Genesis 1: 26. Let us make man.

Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Who told you that God has finished making you in his own image and after his own likeness?

You see friend, my God declares the end of a thing before the beginning.

Isa 46: 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Just as the Lord Jesus saw you coming (John 17) and prayed that you will be one with him and in the Father just as he is in the Father so too the Father had you in mind when he said he will make you in his own image i.e. looking like him and having his nature or character.

Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Look at yourself now. Clearly you need some make over to have the character of God. Some folks need more than a makeover but my god is working at it until the Perfect day of Jesus.

Friend, be confident. He that has started this good work to make you like him will perform.

He cannot not perform.

He must perform.

Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: {perform: or, finish}

On that day you will not only see him as he is but, hey, you shall be like him.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Friend, the minds of evolutionary man originates from our sinful and flesh earthly parents. Our minds must now gain divine perfection by achieving those experiential transformations of spiritual attainment which are the inevitable result of a creature’s choosing to do the will of the Father in heaven.

The Bible admonishes us not to be conform to the things of the world and hence to the flesh but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Romans 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

To be a non-conformist is to reject in a militant way.

In the inner experience of man, mind is joined to matter. The material-flesh linked mind cannot survive mortal death. The technique of survival is embraced in those adjustments of the human will and those transformations in the mortal mind whereby a God-conscious intellect gradually becomes spirit taught and eventually spirit led. Christ in you the hope of Glory. This evolution of the human mind from matter association to spirit union results in the transmutation of the potentially spirit phases of the mortal mind into the morontia realities of the immortal soul. Mortal mind subservient to matter is destined to become increasingly material and consequently to suffer eventual personality extinction; mind yielded to spirit is destined to become increasingly spiritual and ultimately to achieve oneness with the surviving and guiding divine spirit and in this way to attain survival and eternity of personality existence.

Friend, I came forth from the Eternal, and I do repeatedly return to the presence of the Father.  I know that, while the great God is absolute, eternal, and infinite, he is also good, divine, and gracious. I know the truth of the great declarations: “God is spirit” and “God is love,” and these two attributes are most completely revealed to all who believe.

These attributes can be yours too.

Free of charge.

If only you believe.

Choices over chances and chances versus choices. I set choice over chance before thee this day. I set the choice of eternal life or eternal death before thee this day: which do you choose?

Do you desire the free gift of ETERNAL LIFE?

Do you wish to be born-again, regenerated, quickened and to experience life most abundantly?

Then do this:

4 STEPS to God

http://www.4stepstogod.com/

De 30: 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

To live is Christ.

Taste and see for yourself. I can only say that all other commentary or persuasion would be bathos compared to the real Christ and the real God as they truly are.

Unfortunately, as simple as this is, many will not do it.

Unfortunately.

You see, friend, sin means death and death means separation from God. Christ came to save us and to restore us to life abundantly or eternal life. And this life is in him.

1Jo 5: 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.  11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

If only thou canst believe.

Friend these things that I am telling you are etched in letters of solid God in the Eighth Chapter of Romans. Romans 8 is compact and intense. It will take many volumes to break down the life giving and invigorating message of Romans 8 for this audience.

See it for yourself and may the Spirit of all truth reveal unto your spirit the deeper things of Romans 8.

Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.  23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26   Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The journey back home by a spiritual being that lives in an earthen vessel called the flesh but who must, per force, discover and remake themselves to attain the plenitude or the pleroma or the fullness of their spirituality or their divinity.

1Jo 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Amazingly, many never actuate their divinity and thus live to the fullness of their potential. Hence they die like mere mortals, very ordinary princes. These are those who make cemeteries the richest places on earth: the repository of poems that were never written, books that were never written, and ultra supersonic jets that were never built etc etc etc.

Friend, your physical body is the “the temples of God.”

1Co 3:16 ¶ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

 1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. {defile: or, destroy}

 2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

 2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The Lord Jesus came to “draw all men to himself”; so that when he  “stands at the door” of consciousness “and knock” and you open the door, the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost shall delightfully come to “make their abode” in all who will “open the doors of their hearts.” The Relocation of Divinity. Pentecost or the day divinity relocated to humanity: the day when the spirit of God which had left the man returned.

When Yeshua died, the veil in the temple got torn from top to bottom.

This to tell you that henceforth it is not given only to the High Priest to come into the presence of the El Elyon.

Hence forth it is given unto you to walk into the Man – God’s presence – and talk very loudly.

Make as much noise as you can.

Until the man hears you and sees you and answers you speedily.

And that he will.

Mortal man always had something from God himself which actually dwells within them – the spirit of God; their bodies are the temples thereof.

Lizards give birth to lizards.

Dogs engender dogs.

A God can only give birth to gods

Ps 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

When you are through down here, when your course has been run in temporary form on earth, when your trial trip in the flesh is finished, when the dust that composes the mortal tabernacle “returns to the earth whence it came”; then, it is revealed, the indwelling “Spirit shall return to God who gave it.” There sojourns within each moral being of this planet a fragment of God, a part and parcel of divinity. It is not yet yours by right of possession, but it is designedly intended to be one with you if you survive the mortal existence.

Now tell me, do you know who your glorious heavenly father is?

See Adam Clark’s fearsome rendition.

Many attempts have been made to define the term GOD: as to the word itself, it is pure Anglo-Saxon, and among our ancestors signified, not only the Divine Being, now commonly designated by the word, but also good; as in their apprehensions it appeared that God and good were correlative terms; and when they thought or spoke of him, they were doubtless led from the word itself to consider him as THE GOOD BEING, a fountain of infinite benevolence and beneficence towards his creatures.

 A general definition of this great First Cause, as far as human words dare attempt one, may be thus given: The eternal, independent, and self-existent Being: the Being whose purposes and actions spring from himself, without foreign motive or influence: he who is absolute in dominion; the most pure, the most simple, and most spiritual of all essences; infinitely benevolent, beneficent, true, and holy: the cause of all being, the upholder of all things; infinitely happy, because infinitely perfect; and eternally self-sufficient, needing nothing that he has made: illimitable in his immensity, inconceivable in his mode of existence, and indescribable in his essence; known fully only to himself, because an infinite mind can be fully apprehended only by itself.  In a word, a Being who, from his infinite wisdom, cannot err or be deceived; and who, from his infinite goodness, can do nothing but what is eternally just, right, and kind.  Reader, such is the God of the Bible; but how widely different from the God of most human creeds and apprehensions!

 

To be Contd.
