Part 3 / The Power of God is reflected throughout Scripture / In creation, in the miracles of Jesus, in His compassion, and in the resurrection
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd
Jesus was not first known to the world when He was born in Bethlehem, nor did He first become divine after His resurrection!
The most acceptable service we can do and show unto God, and which alone he desires of us, is, that he be praised of us. —Martin Luther
Have mercy – not because I deserve it, O God, but because there is nowhere where else can I find GRACE!
The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it. —Jerome
John 7:37, 38: If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink… and out of his heart will flow rivers of living water
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us
Spiritual Immaturity / God assures us of our salvation through His word and through His Holy Spirit
