Bible Matters 405: God is King

It is clear from all that has been made known to you from the preponderance of evidence from the witnesses in the bible that God is King.  Multiple lessons have pointed to the power of God that makes God, King. 

You learned in Bible Matters 373 who God Is.  God is the beginning and the end.  God is the Alpha and the Omega.  God is a spirit that no one has ever seen.  God is responsible for all that you see and all that you don’t see.  God created the heaven and the earth!

Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

You are to worship him, who made heaven and earth. 

Revelation 14:7 – Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

You learned in Bible Matters 382 of the True God.  God reveals himself in the New Testament as the one and only true God. 

John 17:3 – And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

When you receive the words that Jesus spoke, you will know that God is true.  God did not limit the power he gave Jesus through the Holy Ghost.  He gave Jesus his power.   When you believe on Jesus, you believe on God.

John 3:33-36 – He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.  The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

You learned in Bible Matters 391 of One God and in Bible Matters 401 of One Lord God.  The preponderance of evidence from the multiple witnesses, will overwhelm you.   Verse after verse from the mouth of eight New Testament witnesses, God is referred to as the one and also one God.  The Lord our God is one Lord.  In these verses, the witnesses are giving testimony of Jesus recognizing the God almighty as one God.

Matthew 19:17 – And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Mark 10:18 – And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Mark 12:29 – And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Luke 18:19 – And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Paul recognized that it is through the power of the one, almighty God that salvation is being made available for the Jews (circumcision by faith) and the Gentiles (uncircumcision through faith.)

Romans 3:30 – Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

You will give account of yourself to God.   Believe and tremble. 

James 2:19 – Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Romans 14:12 – So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

You are exposed to the power of God on a daily basis.  Slow down and pray.  Be his witness.  Find that place where God talks to you.  You will see his power.  You will see that God is King over all the earth.   He is King above all gods.    Today you will hear his voice. 

Psalm 47:1-2,6-9 – O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.  For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

Psalm 95:1-7 – O come, let us sing unto the Lord : let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice,

God is the living God and everlasting King. 

Jeremiah 10:10,12 – But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.  He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

In your hour of need, God as your King will deliver. 

Daniel 6:20-22 – And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?  Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.  My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

The kingdom of God, is ruled by God the King.  His kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy.

Romans 14:16-17 – Let not then your good be evil spoken of:  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 7:21 – Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Seek the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.

Luke 12:30-32 – For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

God is King, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 

Psalm 74:10,12 – O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?  For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
