Maturing Within the Mystery of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664295971)

GOD IS SUPREME, so far above us, that He must humble Himself to look upon the things that are in the earth, which may be understandable, however, He must also humble Himself before He can even behold the things that are in heaven!
Our ultimate end goal is to be able to live in heaven for all of eternity, with the Father and with the Son! This hope of our desired eternal home is the place of our final rest in eternal comfort, joy and peace in His presence for our resurrected and glorified spiritual bodies!
The God we worship is far greater than any of us can possibly even imagine! We sing the song "How great thou art," however, the word "great," or "awesome," or any other word, is very much inadequate and far beneath our being able to describe the glory of God, because His glory is inconceivable to the human mind!
God is above all, -- far above all! Before all, -- far before all! Encompassing all and possessing all, of everything! God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, all encompassing, all knowing, all powerful and answers all our concerns! He is transcendent, in that He is un-created, has always existed, is eternal and is far above His creation, He is the epitome of all perfection, righteousness, purity, holiness, peace and joy! God is all in all! There is none other like Him, nor will there ever be!
The love of God is simply God's nature!! If we would desire to have fellowship with God, we must do so within the parameters of the nature of God, being "partakers of the Divine Nature," which is the expression of God's pure love, which relationship has been promised to us!
Jesus Christ went through the exact same things we are going through, on this earth, yet He, through the power of the Holy Spirit, overcame the world and being made perfect, "as a man," He was fully qualified to die for each one of us, taking our sins upon Himself, paying for those sins, with His blood, fulfilling the law that says "sin must die!" He endured the terrible suffering of the cruel physical pain of the cross and the horrible agony of one being temporarily, spiritually separated from God the Father, when He took our sins upon Himself, for God cannot look upon sin! Christ, unselfishly took all of that horrific terror and pain of our sin, upon Himself, all because of His deep love for each one of us!
Christ, our High Priest, is the ultimate and supreme example for us to live our lives by! However, we, within the confines of our earthly minds, are not fully able to attain to His perfection! However, through the blood of Jesus Christ, "if" we have the "boldness" to enter in to the "Holiest," we may then fully be able to be partakers of God's Holy Spirit, which will and does lead us into our being able to be conformed to Christ's image! This personal presence with God, can be attained by our being silent before God, waiting on Him, in humble prayer!
