1 Timothy 6:16
16 Who [ho] only [monos] hath [echo] immortality, [athanasia] dwelling [oikeo] in the light [phos] which no man [oudeis] can approach unto; [aprositos] whom [hos] no man [anthropos] hath seen, [eido] nor [oude] can [dunamai] see: [eido] to whom [hos] be honour [time] and [kai] power [kratos] everlasting. [aionios]
Amen. [amen] KJV-Interlinear
16 who alone
possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen
or can see. To Him be
honor and eternal dominion! Amen. NASB
God alone is
immortal.The word for immortality, athanasia, means deathless. God is incapable of death. There has never been a time when God has not
lived. He is life.He is eternal. There has never been a time when God has not
existed.And this reference is to the
Father, Son and Spirit, all three members of the Godhead.
The humanity of Jesus
was born into this world, but the deity of Jesus has always lived since
eternity past, and will continue into the future into eternity.
Man and angel have been
created or born into life.Their
respective lives will continue forever.
However, man is subject
to death of several types physical death, spiritual death (unbeliever),
carnal death (out of fellowship), sexual death (lack of sexual ability in old
age), the second death (committed to the Lake of Fire), and so forth.
God not only lives
forever, but He possesses the source and power of life.
Man and angel do not
possess this power of life, but must receive it from the one who possesses it,
namely God.You might add his to your
abortion study, as man cannot create human life, but human life is imputed by
God and from God alone.Man can only
perpetuate biological life (living cells).
God dwells in
unapproachable light.Light is
truth.Truth is holiness. Holiness is the combination of perfect
righteousness and perfect justice.
God
is wisdom and into that sphere, man cannot go, nor even approach.Man cannot find
God on his own.
If God had not revealed
Himself, then man would never have known of His existence. And although there are many religions from
history, they all have come about due to distortions of the truth regarding God
which had already been revealed since Adam s time, and none (religions) were
ever invented nor originated out from mans own unique imagination. But were invented out of
distortions of truth.
No man can see the
purity of God.No man can ever gain
access to God, on his own merit.
Only God can create a
path to Himself, for man to follow. And
that path, as we already know, is through faith in Jesus Christ, and that faith
is enhanced and developed through the study of Bible doctrine.
God
is the only person in existence who possesses honor, and power, and eternal
life.
If God be on our side,
then there is nothing that can take us out of His sphere of control. For there is nothing in life that can even
come close to Gods power, authority, ability, and control.
Jesus Christ controls
history.No one else does.
If any man knows God,
then he would leave the path of history in Gods
hands.However, man has tried to direct
the path of history time and time again, but all of mans efforts are in vain,
because mans methods are not based on truth, but on mans arrogance (presuming his
own truth).And all of those efforts are
based on evil (which is the absence of truth).
Man presumes power and
authority, however, Christ is the King of kings.
Man presumes priestly
intercession to deity, however, Christ is the path to
deity.Christ is Lord of lords.
Man presumes to make
his own destiny, however, Christ is the bright
morning star.
Anyone who looks to the
things in this world, looks to emptiness, a vast and
endless territory going nowhere.
Anyone who looks to
God, with a legitimate and genuine desire to advance in their spiritual life,
will end life and continue into eternity, with phenomenal success (beyond
imagination).And beyond imagination
is more vast than even the universe. It has no boundaries in truth.
