Prophecy: God Has Given Mankind His Prophetic Word—Will You Disregard It? Bible prophecy is meant to offer divine warning, instruction, expectation, or exhortation, but that in every case, the prophet and prophecy points to and glorifies God.

ByTim Moore March 10, 2024 Harbingers.daily

Omniscient. Omnipotent. Audacious. Those words describe God’s ability and determination to proclaim in advance His plans for mankind. His willingness to put Himself on the line by foretelling what will happen in the future is unique to the true and living God. No other supposed god makes declarative predictions—and for good reason.

Prophecy is not only a unique feature of the Bible, but also a validating aspect of all it contains. But perhaps we should step back and define these terms.

Forthtelling and Foretelling

Biblical prophecy can be defined as the forthtelling of truth or foretelling of what is to come. Prophecies are revealed by God through a human prophet as divine warnings, instructions, expectations, or exhortations. Always, the prophet and the prophecy point to and glorify God.

Prophecy that foretells future events (whether already realized or yet to be fulfilled) makes up 28-32% of the Bible. Even that variance is based on whether you count verses, chapters, or books. But it is evident to anyone who reads the text that a sizable portion of Scripture pertains to people, circumstances, and events well before their appearance in human history.

For the past couple of years, I’ve emphasized that all of God’s Word is prophetic if you include the portion that forthtells truth. From beginning to end, the Bible reveals God’s truth. Although there was no human eyewitness to the Creation, God revealed His precise sequence of events “in the beginning.” Every declarative statement made by God—whether attributed to Him as a direct quotation or recorded by the authors of Scripture as the Holy Spirit inspired them—contains the Truth He wants us to comprehend.

Some prophets specialized in forthtelling truth. When the prophet Nathan approached King David and described the covetous offense of a rich man, David was rightfully indignant. But the prophet quickly delivered God’s ultimatum on David’s grievous sin: “You are the man!” (2 Samuel 12:7). That forthtold truth cut David to the core and he immediately recognized his sin. Sadly, the only foretold truth in that encounter was Nathan’s foretelling that David and Bathsheba’s child would die.

The phrase, “Thus saith the Lord,” is found over 1900 times in the Bible. It is as if God wants to be very clear that He is the Author of Scripture. That is why we call the Bible the Word of God.

It is also why Satan has been determined to undermine God’s credibility in the eyes of the creatures made in His image since the beginning.

Did God Really Say?

When God created the heavens and the earth and placed man and woman on the earth to subdue and rule over it (Genesis 1:28), He made only one stipulation: do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Long before there were ten commandments, there was only one boundary for man to observe.

Scripture does not tell us how long Adam and Eve enjoyed the good earth as they cultivated and kept the Garden of Eden. But Genesis 3 records that, in short order, Satan came in the form of a serpent to question God’s clear directive. He first asked, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?’ ” By purposely jumbling God’s instruction, Satan intended to subtly plant doubt and suggest that God’s prohibition was too extreme.

When Eve then responded with her own mistaken rendering of God’s command, Satan directly contradicted God by declaring, “You will not die!”

Jesus said of the devil, “he was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). In the 21st Century after Christ, we can attest to the millennia of lies perpetrated by the devil and countless hapless people fooled into disbelieving God.

Sadly, today there are many who claim to follow Christ but deny the reality of Bible prophecy—or at least minimize its relevance and power. Or, through willful ignorance they simply discount Bible prophecy altogether. Regarding God’s prophetic Word, if Satan were to ask, “Did God really say?” they would essentially respond, “I don’t know, and I really don’t care.”

Others who do know the prophetic Word of God have become scoffers. Fulfilling Peter’s prophecy, they are now mockers who say, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:3-4). Peter said the last days would be marked by this kind of mocking. Sadly, he was speaking of mockers who are fully aware of Jesus’ promised return and His account of creation—in other words, professing Christians.

Words to Inform, Inspire, and Exhort

It may sound harsh to describe the attitude of those who ignore or minimize Bible prophecy so callously. But imagine if your spouse wrote you a letter and purposed to tell you their deepest thoughts and most far-reaching plans. Who in their right mind would say to themselves: “I’ll read the parts of their letter that describe the weather and their daily activity, but I have no interest in their plans for the future”?

Why does God reveal Himself and His plans to us, His creatures? Because He wants us to know what He chooses to reveal. Amos recorded, “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7, NASB). That is not to say that God tells us everything that only His infinite mind can know or comprehend.

Moses spoke truly when he said, “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our sons forever…” (Deuteronomy 29:29). To some, that selective revelation is off-putting and leaves them unwilling to believe God. I’ve come to realize that God’s great goodness keeps Him from revealing many things to us.

For one, our limited minds could not contain or comprehend the mind of God. For another, too much knowledge would prove destructive to us—just as it did to Adam and Eve. And, finally, as any one who has been exposed to any top-secret information knows, some information should only be shared on a “need-to-know” basis.

God has revealed what He wants us to know (and what we need to know) to inform, inspire, and exhort us. But He is neither obligated nor inclined to reveal more than we can comprehend. Judges 13 offers a wonderful example of this. The angel of the LORD appeared to Manoah and his wife to prophesy that they would have a son. In a great messianic foreshadowing, the angel’s only response to an inquiry about His identity was, “I am” (Judges 13:11). When pressed for His actual name, the angel responded, “Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?” (Judges 13:18).

Manoah later realized that during his interaction with the angel he had “seen God.” Many believe that the angel was Jesus in pre-incarnate form. He declined to reveal His name to Manoah and his wife because it was not yet time to do so.

So, although we can become impatient to know what has yet to be revealed, we should rejoice that many things have been unveiled for us already. For instance, we can call Jesus by His name and praise Him for His finished work of salvation. Peter wrote, “As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicated as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow” (1 Peter 1:10-11).

We have the blessing and advantage of hindsight, whereas they gazed forward as through a glass dimly. And yet, even now we know in part, and live anticipating the fulfillment of “the grace to be brought to [us] at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:13).

God of Space and Time

Although we are confined to time and limited in our knowledge, God is not. He is the God of space and time—a truth clearly demonstrated even in Jesus’ first miracle.

Faced with the unique and personal crisis of a shortage of wine in Cana, Jesus’ Jewish mama encouraged Him to assist the host of the wedding. Reluctant to reveal His power because His hour had not yet come, Jesus honored His mother’s request (John 2:1-11). With no fanfare and no personal effort or intervention, He miraculously changed water into wine.

This relatively mundane beginning to His signs and miracles established His power over the material universe (because water does not naturally transform into wine), time (because the conversion of grape juice into wine is not instantaneous), and space (because He knew the wine was ready without physically interacting with the water pots).

Following His resurrection, Jesus had a physical body and could eat and fellowship with His disciples (Luke 24:38-43). Yet He also demonstrated His ability to pass through locked doors (John 20:19 and 26), vanish in an instant (Luke 24:31), and ascend into the heavens and out of sight (Acts 1:9). Perhaps we will enjoy these same abilities in our glorified bodies!

Because God exists outside of space and time, He can gaze down upon our universe and into time as we know it without constraints. And while He chose to enter the world in human form at an appointed moment in human time, He can also see from everlasting to everlasting. That gives Him a unique perspective.

God’s Eye View

The challenge of foreseeing the future has intrigued mankind throughout history. But we are only able to experience time in a linear fashion. We have some recollection of the past, but no awareness of the future.

Traveling down the highway presents a fitting analogy. We are able to look into our rearview mirror and see a limited distance behind us. If the weather is clear, we can see a limited distance ahead. But, unless we have a modern app in our car or on our phone, we have no way of knowing what lies beyond the next turn. We are inevitably surprised when we come over a hill and find ourselves in a miles-long traffic jam.

But, as a pilot, I can soar above the earth and see many miles ahead of drivers just below me. In fact, from 30-40,000 feet, I can see well over a hundred miles in every direction. I know what awaits oblivious drivers around the next turn and an hour ahead. Pilots call this a “God’s-eye view,” not out of disrespect but because they recognize that God’s perspective is far beyond that of humans confined to the earth.

God’s ability to see far beyond the horizons of our time is very much the same. Unconstrained by our linear timeline, He sees behind and ahead of us with equal clarity. From His infinite perspective, the beginning and the end are just as clear as the here and now. That is why He can proclaim, “I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, ‘My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure’ ” (Isaiah 46:9-10).

The Purpose of Prophecy

I made the claim that Bible prophecy is meant to offer divine warning, instruction, expectation, or exhortation, but that in every case, the prophet and prophecy points to and glorifies God. The “fellow servant” John encountered in his vision of heaven explained that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). Peter reminds us that “no prophecy was ever made by the will of man, but men being moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). So, again, prophecies are revealed by God, to the people of God, and for the purpose of God.

As we witness the dissolution of our society and the convergence of signs pointing to the End Times, the value of Bible prophecy is proven day after day. Satan is still whispering, “Did God really say?” Scoffers are still mocking, “Where is the promise of His coming?” Certainly, in this world, our troubles are multiplying.

All that the Lord has revealed to us affirms the revelation Jesus shared with His disciples: “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). The “little-t” tribulation or trouble we have in the world is external, while the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, [guards our] hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Bible prophecy assures us that God is in control, that He works all things together for His glory and our good (Romans 8:28), and that Jesus will rescue His children from the wrath to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

What Will You Do with God’s Prophetic Word?

Pilate asked a rhetorical question of the mob gathered around his palace in Jerusalem: “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” (Matthew 27:22). Their answer demonstrated the hardness of their heart and their rejection of the Lord: “Crucify Him!”

Today, God’s Word presents a challenge to all who claim to follow Him. What will you do with the prophetic Word that He has revealed for your instruction and exhortation and His glory? Will you disregard it, discount it, and ignore it? Or, will you believe it, study it, and obey it?

The choice is yours, but the blessing is only for those who “read and heed it,” as described in Revelation 1:3 and 22:7.

(7) The Sevenfold Works of the Holy Spirit:

(7) Prophecy is given from the Holy Spirit.

1. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” (Rev. 1:3).
2. “And he said unto me, Thou must prophecy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues and kings.” (Rev. 10:11).
3. “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Rev. 19:10).
4. “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” (Rev. 22:7).
5. “And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.” (Rev. 22:10).
6. “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” (Rev. 22:18).
7. “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Rev. 22:19).

Commentary: There are some who think that once the restrainer (Holy Spirit) is removed from the earth and evil flourishes, that the work of the Holy Spirit is done on earth. This thinking is short sighted because the work of the Holy Spirit includes more than just having restrained evil. The Holy Spirit was active in providing prophecy for Revelation over 2,000 years ago and in providing prophecy of Tribulation events throughout the Tribulation period. The Holy Spirit is alive and active during the Tribulation, just not in the manner of restraining evil. Providing prophecy for and during the Tribulation/Great Tribulation is one of the sevenfold works of the Holy Spirit. Notice that there are seven (7) references concerning prophecy coming from the Holy Spirit (denoting God’s divine purpose or plan).

The prophets speak (7) through the power of the Holy Spirit.

1. “John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priest unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (Rev. 1:4-6).
2. “I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Rev. 1:9).
3. “And I will give power unto my two witnesses (two prophets), and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Rev. 11:3). (Emphasis added). The two witnesses are also referred to as “two prophets.

Commentary: The Holy Spirit empowers both John (the Apostle) and the two witnesses to prophesize. The entire book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a prophecy. The special two witnesses, who have the power to plague men for the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation are empowered by the Holy Spirit to warn men, to provide men with the gospel of salvation and to prophecy regarding what will happen to men over the remaining period of time during the Tribulation. Notice that there are three (3) references regarding prophets speaking through the power of the Holy Spirit (denoting God’s intensity and emphasis).

(7) Visions are received through the Holy Spirit.

1. “And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” (Rev. 4:2).
2. “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blaphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” (Rev. 17:3).
3. “And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,” (Rev. 21:10).
4. “And I saw/was shewed, beheld/behold).” (49X). (Rev. 1:1, 1:2, 1:12, 1:17, 4:1, 5:1, 5:2, 5:6, 5:11, 6:1, 6:2, 6:8, 6:9, 6:12, 7:1, 7:2, 7:9, 8:2, 8:3, 9:1, 10:1, 13:1, 10:2, 10:3, 13:11, 14:14, 14:6, 15:1, 15:2, 15:15, 16:13, 17:1, 17:6, 17:12, 17:15, 17:18, 18:1, 19:11, 19:17, 19:19, 20:1, 20:4, 20:11, 20:12, 21:1, 21:2, 21:10, 21:22, 22:1).

Commentary: Many of the events John the Apostle references are received from or through supernatural visions by the Holy Spirit. He references the event(s) as saw/was shewed, or beheld/behold. These are terms for seeing. John also specifically indicates that he was in the spirit (Holy Spirit). God uses his Holy Spirit to communicate with men, by visions and also by transporting men (presumably through space and time) to witness future events. No where else in the Bible is this more apparent than in the book of Revelation. Notice that there are four (4) references regarding visions coming from the Holy Spirit (denoting God’s four-squarness of balance or symmetry or a doubling confirmation).

The (7) Holy Spirit speaks the words of God.

1. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (7X). (Rev. 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22).
2. “I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it nto the seven churches which are Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.” (Rev. 1:10-11).
3. “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the the throne.” (Rev. 4:1-2).
4. “And I hear another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Rev. 18:4-24).
5. “If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the seord must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” (Rev.13:9-10).
6. “Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” (Rev. 14:13).
7. “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17).

Commentary: Not only does the Holy Spirit provide men with prophecy, empowers them to preach, provides them with visions, He also speaks the words of God. The word of God is powerful and causes effects, in and of itself. All of the references indicate something being said and the recipient hearing. In several verses, the reference is clear that the Holy Spirit is speaking. Notice that there are seven (7) references regarding something being said by the Holy Spirit in the book of Revelation (denoting God’s divine purpose and plan).

The Sword of (7) the Spirit is the Word of God.

1. “And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.” (Rev. 1:16).
2. “Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with sword of my mouth.” (Rev. 2:16).
3. “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” (Rev. 19:15).
4. “And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” (Rev. 19:21).

Commentary: A sword references something long, sharp, cutting, piercing, refined to a laser-like sharpness and strength by fire, handled with skill, accuracy and determination, used in fighting and for judgement, for killing. A sword can also represent pageantry, royalty, status, kingship, authority, power. The word of God, that Christ’s speaks at his second coming have every single one of these attributes.

The word of God does it all. His word will rightfully judge and execute Christ’s enemies on the Day of the Lord. There is so much power and truth in God’s spoken word, that Christ does not need mechanized weapons to destroy his enemies. All he needs to do is literally speak the word of God, and his enemies will cease to exist. He will have the army of heaven accompanying him (angels and redeemed men). I believe our role in the army is more symbolic in that we will add to the glory of his appearing at his second coming. There is no fighting or effort on our part that would aid Christ in defeating his enemies. The word of God is strong enough, that is doesn’t need redeemed men’s help in any way shape or form. Just as Christ defeated death and sin on our behalf, he will defeat evil enemies also on our behalf, for his glory. Christ will command and control (a military term) the word of God, just like a skilled swordman does with his sword. The word of God is a powerful sword that speaks literal truth and will literally kill Christ’s enemies. All four references indicated that this power comes directly out of the mouth of Christ, as he literally speaks the words of God. There is omnipotence in the word of God and Christ!

The (7) Scriptures are Written through the Holy Spirit.

1. “Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all the things he saw.” (Rev. 1:2).
2. “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.” (Rev. 1:19)
3. “And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.” (Rev. 10:4).
4. “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” (Rev. 14:13).
5. “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” (Rev. 19:9).
6. “Unto the angel of the church (each of the seven churches in Asia-Minor), write;” (7X). (Rev. 2:1, 8, 12, 18, 3:1, 7, 14).
7. “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that over-cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” (Rev. 21:5-7).

Commentary: Yet another attribute or work of the Holy Spirit is to enable men to write (written communication) concerning the things of God. There are seven (7) distinct references in Revelation where the Holy Spirit commands John “to write.” There is no mistake or confusion about the Holy Spirit specifically telling John to write. The seven (7) references to writing denote Gods divine plan and purpose.

(7) The Holy Spirit Witnesses of Jesus Christ.

1. “Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.” (Rev. 1:2).
2. “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” (Rev. 1:5).
3. ”I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Rev. 1:9).
4. ”And when they (two witnesses) shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” (Rev. 11:7).
5. “And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Rev. 19:10).
6. “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book.” (Rev. 22:18).
7. “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Rev. 22:20).

Commentary: Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ testifies who is he is and his offer of salvation for mankind, through the forgiveness of their sins, the shedding of his blood and his resurrection. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus communicates (witnesses) the who, what, where, when, why and how of mankind’s salvation. This is known as the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once again, seven (7) references regarding the Holy Spirit witnessing to Christ denotes God’s divine purpose and plan.

Make Your (7) Decision for Christ NOW!!!!!!! Time is Up!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs (7) of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

1. (7) Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask (7) God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that (7) Jesus Christ is who He claimed to (7) be; that He was both fully God (7) and fully man and that we are (7) saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. (7) Put your trust in Him as your (7) only hope of salvation. Become a son (7) or daughter of God by receiving Christ. (7777777) 7×7

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
