This is
Namma for Christ with the 142nd inspirational message dated
Wednesday, February 20th, 2019. The title of this message is “He’s
God – John 17:3”. The first two words of the title of this message
are also the
words of the above song/video by Edwin Hawkins, entitled – “He’s God”. The scripture of this message is found in the
third verse of the seventeenth chapter of John – as found in the New Testament book
written by the Apostle John.
And
this is eternal life, that they know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent.
One Sunday
afternoon, in January, I was visiting another church, where my Pastor
was preaching at an afternoon service. The choir sang the song, “He’s God” as originally
written and performed by Edwin Hawkins. I loved the powerful lyrics of this
song and how the song made “each listener” reflect on how good God has been to
each of us! I knew I wanted to share this song with others, as well as, share
supporting scriptures focusing on “HOW GOOD GOD IS”! I searched the internet and found under the
website “OpenBible.Info” the following scriptures referencing “the goodness of God" and "Who God is to His people”. In
my search, hundreds of Bible verses appeared and for the sake of brevity - I
have included 20 of the scriptures listed. May they be a blessing to you, as they
have been to me:
John 17:3 ESV
And
this is eternal life, that they know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent.
God
is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Jesus
said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through Me.
Anyone
who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
So
we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love,
and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
God
said to Moses, “I am who I am.”
And He said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
For
by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created
through Him and for Him.
God
is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His
mind. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not
fulfill it?
But
He said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
In
the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
To
the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever
and ever. Amen.
For
in Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily…
But
God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.
In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Fear
not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen
you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
“For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the
world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through
Him.
And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as
of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Of
David. The Lord is my light and my
salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord
is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
I
can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
