God:

who is GOD

  • God's attributes are spoken of by some as absolute, i.e., such as belong to his essence as Jehovah, Jah, etc.; and relative, i.e., such as are ascribed to him with relation to his creatures. Others distinguish them into communicable, i.e., those which can be imparted in degree to his creatures: goodness, holiness, wisdom, etc.; and incommunicable, which cannot be so imparted: independence, immutability, immensity, and eternity. They are by some also divided into natural attributes, eternity, immensity, etc.; and moral, holiness, goodness, etc.

The son of GOD

Son of God:

  • In the New Testament this phrase frequently denotes the relation into which we are brought to God by adoption (Rom. 8:14, 19; 2 Cor. 6:18; Gal. 4:5, 6; Phil. 2:15; 1 John 3:1, 2). It occurs thirty-seven times in the New Testament as the distinctive title of our Saviour. He does not bear this title in consequence of his miraculous birth, nor of his incarnation, his resurrection, and exaltation to the Father's right hand. This is a title of nature and not of office. The sonship of Christ denotes his equality with the Father. To call Christ the Son of God is to assert his true and proper divinity.

  • The second Person of the Trinity, because of his eternal relation to the first Person, is the Son of God. He is the Son of God as to his divine nature, while as to his human nature he is the Son of David (Rom. 1:3, 4. Comp. Gal. 4:4; John 1:1-14; 5:18-25; 10:30-38, which prove that Christ was the Son of God before his incarnation, and that his claim to this title is a claim of equality with .God). (Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Decrees of God:

  • *The decrees of God are (1) efficacious, as they respect those events he has determined to bring about by his own immediate agency;

or

  • (2) permissive, as they respect those events he has determined that free agents shall be permitted by him to effect.
  • Decrees of God:
  • *"The decrees of God are his eternal, unchangeable, holy, wise, and sovereign purpose, comprehending at once all things that ever were or will be in their causes, conditions, successions, and relations, and determining their certain futurition. The several contents of this one eternal purpose are, because of the limitation of our faculties, necessarily conceived of by us in partial aspects, and in logical relations, and are therefore styled Decrees.
  • The decree being the act of an infinite, absolute, eternal, unchangeable, and sovereign Person, comprehending a plan including all his works of all kinds, great and small, from the beginning of creation to an unending eternity; ends as well as means, causes as well as effects, conditions and instrumentalities as well as the events which depend upon them, must be incomprehensible.

WHAT CAN THE BIBLE TEACH US?

What Is God’s Kingdom?
Many people know the Lord’s Prayer. What is the meaning of the phrase: “Let your Kingdom come”?
#Is the Kingdom of God in Your Heart?#

imageWhy Pray for God’s Kingdom to Come?#

The Bible’s answer
God’s Kingdom is a real government established by Jehovah God. “The kingdom of God” is also called “the kingdom of heaven” in the Bible, since it rules from heaven. (Mark 1:14, 15; Matthew 4:17 , King James Version) It shares many attributes of human governments, yet it is superior to them in every way.

Rulers.
God has appointed Jesus Christ as King of the Kingdom and has given him more authority than any human ruler could ever have. ( Matthew 28:18 ) Jesus uses this power only for good, since he has already proved to be a reliable and compassionate Leader. (Matthew 4:23; Mark 1:40, 41; 6:31-34; Luke 7:11-17 ) Under God’s direction, Jesus has selected persons from all nations who will “rule as kings over the earth” with him in heaven.— Revelation 5:9, 10 .

Duration.
Unlike human governments, which come and go, God’s Kingdom “will never be brought to ruin.”—
Daniel 2:44 .

Subjects.
Anyone who does what God requires can be a subject of God’s Kingdom, without regard for ancestry or birthplace.— Acts 10:34, 35 .

Laws.
The laws (or commandments) of God’s Kingdom do more than just prohibit wrong behavior. They raise the moral character of its subjects. For example, the Bible says: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39 ) Love of God and neighbor moves subjects of the Kingdom to act in the best interests of others.

Education.
While God’s Kingdom sets high standards for its subjects, it also teaches people how to meet those standards.— Isaiah 48:17, 18 .

Mission.
The Kingdom of God doesn’t enrich its rulers at the expense of its subjects. Instead, it will accomplish God’s will, including the promise that those who love him will live forever on a paradise earth.— Isaiah 35:1, 5, 6; Matthew 6:10; Revelation 21:1-4 .

Reference

  • The decrees are eternal (Acts 15:18; Eph. 1:4; 2 Thess. 2:13), unchangeable (Ps. 33:11; Isa. 46:9), and comprehend all things that come to pass (Eph. 1:11; Matt. 10:29, 30; Eph. 2:10; Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28; Ps. 17:13, 14).

Word of God:(Heb. 4:12, etc.).

  • The Bible so called because the writers of its several books were God's organs in communicating his will to men. It is his "word," because he speaks to us in its sacred pages. Whatever the inspired writers here declare to be true and binding upon us, God declares to be true and binding. This word is infallible, because written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and therefore free from all error of fact or doctrine or precept. All saving knowledge is obtained from the word of God. In the case of adults it is an indispensable means of salvation, and is efficacious thereunto by the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit (John 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:15, 16; 1 Pet. 1:23).
