You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 36:23
23 Who hath enjoined [paqad] him his way [derek]? or who
can say ['amar], Thou hast wrought [pa`al] iniquity [`evel]? KJV-Interlinear
23 'Who has appointed Him His
way, And who has said, 'Thou hast done wrong'? NASB
In the Godhead, there are three members - Father, Son,
and the Spirit. They are each
co-infinite, co-equal, and co-eternal.
One is not greater nor lesser than any of the other two.
Each member of the Godhead possesses ten attributes -
omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, immutability, veracity, righteousness,
justice, love, eternal life, and sovereignty.
None existed prior to the others. There never was a time when they did not
exist.
In all of human history, man has tried to advance
himself to Gods perfect level of existence, based on mans own ability and
effort. On mans works, in other words.
But the finite and the imperfect cannot become
infinite or perfect.
And God, recognizing this, came up with a plan that
would provide a path for mans advancement to Gods perfection, but man would
have to follow the path of Gods work, not mans own work.
Therefore, God specified one of His own, whom we call
the Son, as the means of access to God Himself.
Those who accept this plan will be allowed into Gods family and into
eternal life. Those who reject this
plan, will not be allowed into Gods family or eternal life.
Those who reject God, are themselves rejected by God.
God holds all that is, together. And for those who reject God in part, end up
rejecting Him altogether. God allows unbelieving
man to go out on his own and hold his own life together or to the best of his,
mans, ability.
Of course man cannot do this. Man cannot control the growth of a single
hair on his own head, let alone control an entire universe around himself. Thus, the Lake of Fire, the eternal lake of
chaotic existence in aloneness, terror and ultimate suffering.
So, who can match Gods essence? Who can match Gods abilities? Who can match Gods knowledge and wisdom? Who can account for and be witness to, all of
Gods thoughts, motives, and actions? Who
can do better than God, what God has accomplished?
No one.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
