1 Peter 5:11
11 To him [autos] be glory [doxa] and [kai] dominion [kratos] for [eis] ever [aion] and ever [aion]. Amen [amen]. KJV-Interlinear
11 To Him be dominion forever and
ever. Amen. NASB
To Him, is a
reference to the one deity who brings perfection into your life, which is Jesus
Christ.For, of Him and through Him are
all things.
Jesus Christ controls
history.Jesus Christ controls
everything in history, everything in your life, everything that you can imagine
and beyond.
To Him is dominion,
which is power, control, authority, command, sovereignty, even territory, all
territory that exists anywhere and everywhere.
Jesus Christ is the one
who was in the burning bush before Moses.
He is the I Am, the eternally self-sufficient one. Which means that He has unlimited resources
and unlimited abilities.
This is to impress upon
you, that dedicating yourself to a daily study of the Bible, will produce a
winning result for your life.In
contrast, by avoiding your spiritual life, you will not have a winning
result.At least not as good as it would
be otherwise.
Winning with salvation
and going to heaven is a win, but advancing to spiritual maturity is a
completion and infinitely better.
The Bible is only a
book of words.They are repeated over
and over again, such that you cannot help but notice their principles at some
point during your life.
But then everyone does
know of God, Christ and doctrine.How is
it then that people simply do not rush to Gods views, but instead rush to the
opposite views from this world?
God offers everything
and offers it forever.
The world offers
nothing and goes into a great effort in order to get humanity distracted and
all caught up in worldly activities, enticements, crusades, making them a
priority over all else.People will
invent their own morals and standards, and magnify them over those of Gods.
And yet, when all is
said and done, Christ will be supreme and man, in this world, will be nothing. God will judge man. Man will never be able to judge God.
Why do people miss the
point?What is it that makes people
presume that their ideas and beliefs, are better than those of God?
