11 In quel giorno, io rialzerò la capanna di Davide ch’è caduta, ne riparerò le rotture, ne rileverò le rovine, la ricostruirò com’era ai giorni antichi,

Scriptural Confirmations #10

  
/ 101  
  

10. 8. He is called Father and Son (1 John 1:3; 2:1; 2 John 1:3; 1 John 2:22-23; Jude 1:4).

The Lord is life revealed and made manifest, and God is light (1 John 1:2, 5).

He is a propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2; 4:10). For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8; 4:10).

That we shall abide in Christ (1 John 2:5, 6, 24; 3:6). He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son: whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father (1 John 2:22-23).

He that keepeth His commands dwelleth in Him, and He in him. Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him; and he in God (1 John 3:24; 4:13, 15, 16).

He who confesseth Jesus Christ, who lived in the flesh, is of God; he who confesseth not is not of God (1 John 4:2-3). Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) is born of God (1 John 5:1).

Who hath overcome the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:5).

This is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life. He who believeth in the name of the Son of God hath eternal life (1 John 5:10-13).

We know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know [Him that is] true, and we are in [Him that is] true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (1 John 5:20-21).

To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and power (Jude 1:25).

Isaiah 63:1-14

Study

      

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
