THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND EVERYTHING IN IT, THE WORLD, AND ALL WHO LIVE IN IT; FOR GOD FOUNDED IT UPON THE SEAS AND ESTABLISHED IT UPON THE WATERS!

 A MESSAGE AND REVELATION FROM GOD TO THE WORLD. I AM A SON OF GOD AND I AM PROCLAIMING GOD'S MESSAGE.

THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND EVERYTHING IN IT, THE WORLD, AND ALL WHO LIVE IN IT; FOR GOD FOUNDED IT UPON THE SEAS AND ESTABLISHED IT UPON THE WATERS. 

WHO MAY ASCEND THE HILL OF THE LORD? WHO MAY STAND IN GOD'S HOLY PLACE? HE WHO HAS CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART, WHO DOES NOT LIFT UP HIS SOUL TO AN IDOL OR SWEAR BY WHAT IS FALSE. HE WILL RECEIVE BLESSING FROM THE LORD AND VINDICATION FROM GOD HIS SAVIOR. (Psalm 24:1-5) 

"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. AND GOD IS NOT SERVED BY HUMAN HANDS, AS IF GOD NEEDED ANYTHING, BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF GIVES ALL MEN LIFE AND BREATH AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 

FROM ONE MAN GOD MADE EVERY NATION OF MEN, THAT THEY SHOULD INHABIT THE WHOLE EARTH; AND GOD DETERMINED THE TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE.

GOD DID THIS SO THAT MEN WOULD SEEK GOD AND PERHAPS REACH OUT FOR GOD AND FIND GOD, THROUGH GOD IS NOT FAR FROM EACH ONE OF US. FOR IN GOD WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. AS SOME OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, 'WE ARE GOD'S OFFSPRING.'

"THEREFORE SINCE WE ARE GOD'S OFFSPRING, WE SHOULD NOT THINK THAT THE DIVINE BEING IS LIKE GOLD OR SILVER OR STONE - AN IMAGE MADE BY MAN'S DESIGN AND SKILL. IN THE PAST GOD OVERLOOKED SUCH IGNORANCE, BUT NOW GOD COMMANDS ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT.

 FOR GOD HAS SET A DAY WHEN GOD WILL JUDGE THE WORLD WITH JUSTICE BY THE MAN GOD HAS APPOINTED. GOD HAS GIVEN PROOF OF THIS TO ALL MEN BY RAISING CHRIST FROM THE DEAD." (Acts 17:24-31)

JESUS GAVE THEM THIS ANSWER: "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THE SON CAN DO NOTHING BY HIMSELF; HE CAN DO ONLY WHAT HE SEES HIS FATHER DOING, BECAUSE WHATEVER THE FATHER DOES THE SON ALSO DOES. FOR THE FATHER LOVES THE SON AND SHOWS HIM ALL HE DOES. (John 5:19-20a)

FOR JUST AS THE FATHER RAISES THE DEAD AND GIVES THEM LIFE, EVEN SO THE SON GIVES LIFE TO WHOM HE IS PLEASED TO GIVE IT. MOREOVER, THE FATHER JUDGES NO ONE, BUT HAS ENTRUSTED ALL JUDGEMENT TO THE SON, THAT ALL MAY HONOR THE SON JUST AS THEY HONOR THE FATHER. HE WHO DOES NOT HONOR THE SON DOES NOT HONOR THE FATHER, WHO SENT HIM. (John 5:21-23)

HUMBLE YOURSELVES, THEREFORE, UNDER GOD'S MIGHTY HAND, THAT GOD MAY LIFT YOU UP IN DUE TIME. CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON GOD BECAUSE GOD CARES FOR YOU. BE INNER SELF-CONTROLLED AND ALERT.

YOUR ENEMY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. RESIST THE DEVIL, STANDING FIRM IN THE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BROTHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE UNDERGOING THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS.

AND THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO CALLED YOU TO GOD'S ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, GOD WILL HIMSELF RESTORE YOU IN CHRIST AND GOD WILL MAKE YOU STRONG IN CHRIST, FIRM IN CHRIST AND STEADFAST IN CHRIST. TO GOD BE THE POWER FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN. (1 Peter 5:6-11)

JESUS SAID TO THEM, "IF GOD WERE YOUR FATHER, YOU WOULD LOVE ME, FOR I CAME FROM GOD AND NOW AN HERE. I HAVE NOT COME ON MY OWN; BUT GOD SENT ME. WHY IS MY LANGUAGE NOT CLEAR TO TO YOU? BECAUSE YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR WHAT I SAY. YOU BELONG TO YOUE FATHER, THE DEVIL, AND YOU WANT TO CARRY OUT YOUR FATHER'S DESIRE.

THE DEVIL WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, NOT HOLDING TO THE TRUTH, FOR THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE DEVIL.

WHEN THE DEVIL LIES, HE SPEAKS HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, FOR THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES.

YET BECAUSE I TELL THE TRUTH, YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME! CAN ANY OF YOU PROVE ME GUILTY OF SIN? IF I AM TELLING THE TRUTH, WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME? HE WHO BELONGS TO GOD HEARS WHAT GOD SAYS. THE REASON YOU DO NOT HEAR IS THAT YOU DO NOT BELONG TO GOD." (John 8:42-47)

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND WHOEVER LIES IS DOING THE DEVIL'S WORK. WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID. JESUS ANSWERED, "YOU ARE RIGHT IN SAYING I AM A KING. IN FACT, FOR THIS REASON I WAS BORN, AND FOR THIS I CAME INTO THE WORLD, TO TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH. EVERYONE ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH LISTENS TO ME." (John 18:37)

"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT GOD GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN CHRIST SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH CHRIST.

WHOEVER BELIEVES IN CHRIST IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SON.

THIS IS THE VERDICT: LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, BUT MEN LOVED DARKNESS INSTEAD OF LIGHT BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL. EVERYONE WHO DOES EVIL HATES THE LIGHT, AND WILL NOT COME INTO THE LIGHT FOR FEAR THAT HIS DEEDS WILL BE EXPOSED.

BUT WHOEVER LIVES BY THE TRUTH COMES INTO THE LIGHT, SO THAT IT MAY BE SEEN PLAINLY THAT WHAT HE DONE HAS BEEN DONE THROUGH GOD." (John 3:16-21)

DEAR FRIENDS, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, FOR LOVE COMES FROM GOD. EVERYONE WHO LOVES HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD, WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

THIS IS HOW GOD SHOWED HIS LOVE AMONG US: GOD SENT HIS ONE AND ONLY SON INTO THE WORLD THAT WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH CHRIST. THIS IS LOVE: NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT GOD LOVED US AND SENT HIS SON AS AN ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS. 

DEAR FRIENDS, SINCE GOD SO LOVED US, WE OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US. WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT.

AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. IF ANYONE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD, GOD LIVES IN HIM AND HE IN GOD. AND SO WE KNOW AND RELY ON THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US.  (1 JOHN 4:7-16)

SUCH CONFIDENCE AS THIS IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST BEFORE GOD. NOT THAT WE ARE COMPETENT IN OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING FOR OURSELVES, BUT OUR COMPETENCE COMES FROM GOD. GOD HAS MADE US COMPETENT AS MINISTERS OF A NEW COVENANT - NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. (1 Cor.3:4-6)

THE HOLY SPIRIT ALSO TESTIFIES TO US ABOUT THIS. FIRST GOD SAYS: "THIS IS THE COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THAT TIME, SAYS THE LORD. I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR HEARTS, AND I WRITE THEM ON THEIR MINDS." THEN GOD ADDS: "THEIR SINS AND LAWLESS ACTS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." (Heb.10:15-17)

FINALLY, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN GOD'S MIGHTY POWER. PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES. FOR OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST THE RULERS, AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES, AGAINST THE POWERS OF THIS DARK WORLD AND AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS. THEREFORE PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, SO THAT WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND YOUR GROUND. (Eph.6:10-13)

"BECAUSE DAN LOVES ME," SAYS THE LORD, "I WILL RESCUE DAN; I WILL PROTECT DAN, FOR DAN ACKNOWLEDGES MY NAME. DAN WILL CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL ANSWER DAN; I WILL BE WITH DAN IN TROUBLE, I WILL DELIVER DAN AND HONOR DAN. WITH LONG LIFE WILL I SATISFY DAN AND SHOW DAN MY SPIRITUAL SALVATION." (Psalm 91:14-16)

I HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH THE COVENANT GOD GAVE ME. GOD PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. I FULFILL GOD'S LAW BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF MY COVENANT TO GOD AND LOVING ALL MY NEIGHBORS AS MYSELF AS I PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE, ALL PLACES AND ALL THINGS.
