何西阿書 1

Studie

1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大,約阿施的兒子耶羅波安作以色列的時候,耶和華的臨到備利的兒子何西阿

2 耶和華初次與何西阿說話,對他:你去娶淫婦為妻,也收那從淫亂所生的兒女;因為這大行淫亂,離棄耶和華

3 於是,何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。這婦人懷孕,給他生了一個兒子

4 耶和華對何西阿:給他起名耶斯列;因為再過片時,我必討耶戶家在耶斯列殺人流血的罪,也必使以色列家的國滅絕。

5 到那日,我必在耶斯列平原折斷以色列的

6 歌篾又懷孕生了一個女兒,耶和華對何西阿:給她起名哈瑪(就是不蒙憐憫的意思);因為我必不再憐憫以色列家,決不赦免他們。

7 我卻要憐憫猶大家,使他們靠耶和華─他們的,不使他們靠、刀、爭戰、馬匹,與兵得

8 歌篾給羅路哈瑪斷奶以後,又懷孕生了一個兒子

9 耶和華:給他起名羅阿米(就是非我民的意思);因為你們不作我的子民,我也不作你們的神。

10 然而,以色列的必如沙,不可量,不可。從前在甚麼地方對他們你們不是我的子民,將來在那裡必對他們你們是永生神的兒子

11 猶大人和以色列人同聚集,為自己立個首領,從這上去(或譯:從被擄之上來),因為耶斯列的日子必為日。

God

  
Ancient of Days, by William Blake

When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

Scriptural Confirmations # 4

  
/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
