Scriptural Confirmations #8
8. 6. One God, one Mediator, Christ (1 Timothy 2:5-6).
God was manifest in the flesh, seen, received up (1 Timothy 3:16).
If we are act faithful, He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).
They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him (Titus 1:16).
He hath in the last days spoken unto us in the Son whom He hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds [saecula]; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power [after] He had by Himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; to whom did He ever say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee? (Psalms 2:7) and He saith, Let all the angels of God worship Him (Psalms 97:7); and many things in Hebrews (1:2-9, 13).
Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and didst set Him over all the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. But we see not yet all things put under Him. It became Him for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, to be the author of their salvation (Hebrews 2:7, 8, 10). He is called the chief priest and the high priest (Hebrews 2:17; 3:1). We have a great chief priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God (Hebrews 4:14). Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; 7:1-3, 10-11, 15, 21). Here concerning the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:10-11).
1 Peter 2:4-8

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6
Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
7
For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
8
and, "a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
