“You are the Christ, the son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). More than that, the living God has a Spirit, as Paul testifies to the Corinthians: “You are a letter from Christ . . . written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God” (2 Corinthians 3:3). The living God is the triune God, eternally subsisting in three persons.

First Corinthians 1:2 states it clearly: “To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy…” The words “sanctified” and “holy” come from the same Greek root as the word that is commonly translated “saints.” Christians are saints by virtue of their connection with Jesus Christ.

After Paul explains to the Colossians their new position in Christ, he exhorts them to keep seeking the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God the Father (Colossians 3:1). This means that believers should value what Christ values, and one of those things that believers should highly value is to “let the word of Christ

^{To honor God means first and foremost that you recognize Him as the highest authority in heaven and on Earth. He is the One who created the universe, from the largest planet to the tiniest grain of sand, and no person, power, spirit, or force can contend with His greatness and might. Another key revelation to honoring God is recognizing that we}

Incarnation refers to the act of a pre-existent divine person, the Son of God, in becoming a human being. While all Christians believed that Jesus was indeed the Unigenite Son of God, [5] "the divinity of Christ was a theologically charged topic for the Early Church." [6] Debate on this subject occurred during the first four centuries of

“Christ died for all”—this is the Apostle’s thought—“as the head and representative of the race.” But if so, the race, in its collective unity, died, as He died, to sin, and should live, as He lives, to God. Each member of the race is then only in a true and normal state when he ceases to live for himself and actually lives for

Galatians 5:22-23 gives us a starting place: the fruit of His Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The more we allow the Holy Spirit free rein in our lives, the more this fruit is evident ( Galatians 5:16, 25 ). Jesus told His followers, “I chose you and appointed you so that

Godly wisdom is, of course, from God and honors God. Godly wisdom starts with the fear of God and results in a holy life. Worldly wisdom, on the other hand, is not concerned with honoring God but with pleasing oneself. With worldly wisdom, we may become educated, street-smart, and have “common sense” that enables us to play the world’s

Love. Perfection. Wisdom. Threefold office. Doctrines. v. t. e.

Biblical sources Hebrew Bible. The phrase "image of God" is found in three passages in the Hebrew Bible, all in the Book of Genesis 1–11: . And God said: 'Let us make man in our image/b'tsalmeinu, after our likeness/kid'muteinu; 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 Jesus, called “the Lamb of God,” was our one-time sacrifice that satisfied God’s need for a blood offering. He was the perfect act of love, giving up His life so that the world could have the chance to change forever. We call Christ the “Lamb of God” because He was the perfect sacrifice of purity and cleanliness.

The original Hebrew used here for God is the word Elohim, meaning the mighty, sovereign God, the great and majestic one, God above all others. In fact, throughout the Bible, most of the time, “God” is used in a translation; the actual Hebrew is Elohim (other places use the simpler El). Therefore from the very start, we understand a core

The right hand of God ( Dextera Domini "right hand of the Lord" in Latin) or God's right hand may refer to the Bible and common speech as a metaphor for the omnipotence of God and as a motif in art. In the Bible, to be at the right side "is to be identified as being in the special place of honor". [1] In Jesus' parable "The Sheep and the Goats
