HIS GLORY CAN BE WITNESSED!!

HIS GLORY

WITNESSED.

“…God is not human …” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).  “…The invisible [SPIRIT]…from the creation of the world is … [his] eternal power… [and]....divine nature… …clearly seen (witnessed), (HOW?).... being understood (being made aware of or manifested) (HOW?).... by the things that are MADE (his created goodnesses) …” (Romans 1:20 KJV). “…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1-3 KJV).  “…All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).“…God who created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (Presence; goodness)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (presence; goodness)…” (Number 14:21 NLT).“….God saw every thing he had made……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

         God’s GLORY is basically WITNESSED in “all” of CREATION, which reveals his invisible PRESENCE. “…God is not human …” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT(and invisible)…” (John 4:24 KJV).  “…The invisible [SPIRIT]…from the creation of the world is … [his] eternal power… [and his]....divine nature…[which are]...clearly seen (witnessed), (HOW?).... being understood (being made aware of or manifested) (HOW?).... by the things that are MADE (his created goodnesses) …” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth …” (Genesis 1:1-3 KJV).  “…All things came into being through Him (God, the Holy, invisible, Spirit), and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).“…God (the invisible Holy Spirit) who created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (Presence and goodness)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled with the LORD's GLORY (presence and goodness)…” (Number 14:21 NLT).“….God saw every thing he had made……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

God’s GLORY (invisible PRESENCE) is witnessed through the things HE MADE. “….God saw every thing he had made……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV). “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (Presence and goodness)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…The heavens are telling …[and]… are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT).

God’s GLORY is EVER before our eyes, each and every day, DISPLAYED through the things “HE” HAS MADE! “…The heavens … are a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). “… Day unto day [the MARVELOUS DISPLAY of his craftsmanship] uttereth speech, and …  sheweth knowledge…” (Psalms 19:2-3 KJV).

When Moses asked to SEE or WITNESS God’s Glory, God said: “… “I will cause all my GOODNESS to pass in front of you …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV). “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (goodness)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). “… since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, (WITNESSED)  (HOW?) being understood through what has been made…” (Romans 1:20 NASB). “…. the whole earth is full of [God’s]…glory (full of the things HE MADE)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…BY THE WORD of [God, the invisible Holy Spirit]... the heavens WERE MADE…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB). “…the world was made by him…” (John 1:10-12 KJV). “….God saw every thing he had MADE……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

WHY WAS IT GOOD? “…[God, the invisible Holy Spirit is]... GOOD and doest GOOD…” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “...there is none good but one, that is, God...” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…All he does (God, the invisible Holy Spirit) is just and GOOD….” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT).

 “…Oh how great is thy GOODNESS…” (Psalm 31:19 KJV). “…GOOD and upright is the Lord…” (Psalm 25:8 KJV). “…For thou, Lord, is GOOD…” (Psalm 86:5 KJV). “…[God, the invisible Holy Spirit is]... GOOD and doest GOOD…” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “...there is none good but one, that is, God...” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…All he does (God, the invisible Holy Spirit does) is just and GOOD….” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT).“…If we are unfaithful, [God, the invisible Holy Spirit] ...remains faithful [and GOOD], for he cannot deny who he is…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT). “…[God, the invisible Holy Spirit is]... GOOD …” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).

“…[God is]... GOOD …” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).  “… HE remains faithful [and good], for he cannot deny who he is…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT).

God’s GOODNESS is, therefore, a WITNESS to his KIND, BENEVOLENT, and DIVINE nature. “…The invisible [SPIRIT]…from the creation of the world is … [his] eternal power… [and his]....divine nature…[which are]...clearly seen (witnessed), (HOW?).... being understood (being made aware of or manifested) (HOW?).... by the things that are MADE (his created goodnesses) …” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

 “...there is none good but one, that is, God...” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). 

IF THERE IS NONE GOOD, BUT GOD, THEN THERE IS NONE GOOD WITHOUT HIM 🙌🏼

“…Moses said, “…show me your glory.” …The Lord said, “I will cause all my GOODNESS to pass in front of you, …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV). WHAT DID MOSES SEE?

.“…The invisible [SPIRIT]…from the creation of the world is … [his] eternal power… [and his]....divine nature…[which are]...clearly seen (witnessed), (HOW?).... being understood (being made aware of or manifested) (HOW?).... by the things that are MADE (his created goodnesses) …” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

“…. the whole earth is full of [God’s]…glory (full of the things HE MADE)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “ the heavens WERE MADE…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB). “…the world was made by him…” (John 1:10-12 KJV). “….every thing he had MADE…was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

 God’s GLORY is WITNESSED in the heavens, upon earth, in the galaxy, in people, animals, created things in the ocean and sky, the milky way, the rising sun, the setting sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the day, the night, seasons, harvest time, seed time, etc. “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (presence:goodness)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…[It is]...a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT). “… since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, (WITNESSED)  (HOW?) being understood through what has been made (prepared, made ready, etc.)…” (Romans 1:20 NASB).

“…. the whole earth is full of [God’s]…glory (full of the things HE MADE)…” (Isaiah 6:3). “…the world was made by him…” (John 1:10-12 KJV). “….God saw every thing he had MADE……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

“…Thou (God) are GOOD and doest GOOD…” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “… Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful (created) deeds among all the peoples…” (1 Chronicles 16:24 NASB).

 “… [God has]... invisible attributes,  (WHAT ARE THEY?) His eternal power and divine nature,  (CAN YOU SEE THEM?) [Yes, they]... have been clearly seen, (WITNESSED)  (HOW?) ....being understood through what has been made…” (Romans 1:20 NASB). “…[What has been MADE is]...a marvelous display of his craftsmanship.  ….” (Psalms 19:1 NLT).

We WITNESSED God’s GLORY or presence BY the things that are made (created). “...clearly seen, (WITNESSED)  (HOW?) ....being understood through what has been made…” (Romans 1:20 NASB).

When Moses ASKED to SEE God’s GLORY, God REVEALED his GLORY or PRESENCE by DISPLAYING his GOODNESS to him. “…Moses said, “…show me your glory.” …The Lord said, “I will cause all my GOODNESS to pass in front of you, …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV). “….God saw every thing he had MADE……and, [said] … it was VERY GOOD…” (Genesis 1:31 KJV).

MOSES “SAW” God’s GOODNESS pass right in FRONT OF HIM. “…[God is]... GOOD …” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).  “… he remains faithful [and good], for he cannot deny who he is…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT).

“… [God, the invisible Holy Spirit] … is Your rock and Your fortress, your deliverer, Your GOD, Your rock, in whom [you] … take refuge; Your shield and the horn of Your salvation, YOUR stronghold...[ YOUR goodness]…" (Psalms 18:3 NASB). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “.…there is none good but one, that is, God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV).

“…In him (God, the invisible Holy Spirit) ALL THINGS  (heaven, earth, people, etc.)…hold together…” (Colossians 1:7 NIV). “… [God, the invisible Holy Spirit is the ONE]…sustaining ALL THINGS … by his powerful word…” (Hebrews 1:3 NIV).“…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…In him ALL THINGS …hold together…” (Colossians 1:7 NIV).

God, the invisible Holy Spirit, TAKES care of the VAST and endlessly expansive needs of the UNIVERSE and yet gently tends to the smallest, minute, and seemingly unimportant cry or concern of the least of humanity. WHY? “…There is no greater love…” (John 15:13 NLT).

God, the invisible Holy Spirit, the ALMIGHTY, and the CREATOR CARES about YOU, personally, intimately, and individually. “…You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways…How precious...are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand..." (Psalms 139:1-3, 16:17 KJV).

WHO is mankind, in this VAST creation, that God, the Holy Spirit, the ALMIGHTY, and the CREATOR thinks and cares for THEM? “...what are MERE MORTALS that [God, the invisible Holy Spirit]... should think about ...[THEM], HUMAN BEINGS (sinful human beings) that [HE]... should care for [THEM?” (Psalm 8:4 NLT).

“...What is man (woman) that You take thought of him, And the son of man (daughters of man) that You care for him (her)?” (Psalm 8:4 NASB). “.. LORD, what are HUMAN BEINGS(sinful human beings) that you care for them, “MERE”MORTALS that you think of them?” (Psalms 144:3 NASB).

“... O LORD, what are human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them?” (Psalm 144:3 NLT).

"...What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention...” (Job 7:17 NASB).

"...What are people, that you should make so much of us, that you should think of us so often?” (Job 7:17 NLT). “...[Yet,]...how precious...are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand..." (Psalms 139:1-3, 16:17 KJV).

God, the invisible Holy Spirit, has CREATED the vast universe and galaxies and yet he takes the time to CARE for unworthy human beings.“...All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein…” (Psalm 24:1 KJV). “…for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof…(Psalm 50:12 KJV). “…Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine…” (1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV).

“...what are mere mortals (LIKE YOU and ME) that [God, the invisible Holy Spirit]... should think about ...[YOU and I], human beings that [HE]... should care for [US?]” (Psalm 8:4 NLT).

THERE IS ONLY “ONE” ANSWER I HEAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN: God’s FAVORABLE LOVE. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “...He careth for you (MANKIND)...” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM …” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).  “…I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).

“...What is man (woman) that You take thought of him (her) ..[OR]... that You care for him (her)?...[OR]...that thou (God, the invisible Holy Spirit, would)...visitest him (her)?” (Psalm 8:4 NASB & Hebrews 2:6 KJV).

WHY? WHY? WHY? ONE ANSWER: “…God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV).

“... Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute, intervention) for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…Christ (gave PROOF of God’s FAVORABLE LOVE and CARE and) ... suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to God (to love) …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV).

God was“…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV). “…God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were STILL sinners...” (Romans 5:8 NLT).

“…HE GAVE his only begotten Son…” (John 3:16 KJV). “…[God, the Holy Spirit]... delivered him  (his son) up for us all….?” (Romans 8:32 KJV). Jesus said  “…[he came] ... to give His life a ransom for many...” (Matthew 20:28 KJV). “...[Jesus]... said, It is finished…” (John 19:28-30 KJV). “… I [laid]... down my life... [FOR YOU] …” (John 10:17-18 KJV).  “ ... [Jesus, God’s only begotten son, made]... it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he [bore]...all their sins…” (Isaiah 53:11 NLT).

“...What is man (woman) that You take thought of him” (Psalm 8:4 NASB). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).

“... [THIS] is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and SENT His SON to be the propitiation (substitute, intervention) for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV).  “…There is no greater love …” (John 15:13 NLT).

How MARVELLOUS that of ALL the GLORIOUS things that God, the invisible Holy Spirit, CREATED, mankind is FAVORED with HIS DIVINE LOVE and CARE. “…God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV).

“... God who created all things…” (Ephesians 3:3-4, 9 NASB). “…Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine…” (1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV). “...He careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).

God, the Holy Spirit, didn’t send his Son for the sun, moon, stars, earth, universe, or galaxies....he sent him FOR YOU! “…God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,,,” (John 3:16 KJV). “…[God, the Holy Spirit]... delivered him  (his son) up for us all….?” (Romans 8:32 KJV). “…the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to [himself (back to love)] …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV).

“... [THIS] is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us...” (1 John 4:10 KJV).  “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).

 “…There is no greater love …” (John 15:13 NLT). AND “...He (the great caregiver) careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).

 “…  I, the Lord, am your healer…” (Exodus 15:26). “…God is the one who provides [for you]…” (2 Corinthians 9:10-13 KJV). “… God will supply all [your need]…” (Philippians 4:19 NASB). “… [God] … will keep in perfect peace all who trust in … [him] … all whose thoughts are fixed on … [him!]” (Isaiah 26:3 NLT). “….The Lord is [“your”] shepherd ….” (PSALM 23:1-3 NLT). “… THE LORD … is Your rock and Your fortress, your deliverer, Your GOD, Your rock, in whom [you] … take refuge; Your shield and the horn of Your salvation, YOUR stronghold.…" (Psalms 18:3 NASB). “…I the LORD am thy Saviour …[your goodness]...” (Isaiah 60:16 KJV). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV).

When Jesus was upon the earth he went around DOING GOOD, because GOD was with him DISPLAYING the DEPTH of his GOODNESS “in” and “through” him.“…God (the invisible Holy Spirit) anointed (empowered) Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and POWER, and …he went around ... doing good and healing all  (HOW?)...because …God [the invisible holy spirit]… was with him…” (Acts 10:38 NIV).

“…The [Holy] ...Spirit  … anointed [empowered JESUS] to preach the gospel to the poor ... [empowered him] to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord…” (John 4:16-21 KJV). “… [Jesus was EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit and he] went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; [BECAUSE] ...GOD [THE invisible HOLY SPIRIT] ...WAS WITH HIM…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV).

 “...Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit...” (John 15:1-10 KJV). ".. and ...PROVE to be My disciples...” (John 15:8 NIV).“…The …HOLY SPIRIT…is the SOURCE of [ALL that is MADE or CREATED]. …” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).

"… [The]… Father is glorified (his presence is made known or WITNESSED) by this, that “YOU” bear much fruit (SUCH AS THE fruit of GOODNESS), and so PROVE to be [his]… disciples” (John 15:8).

HIS GLORY is WITNESSED in the VAST universe and it is WITNESSED in the smallest gesture of human GOODNESS.
