"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever..." Deuteronomy 29:29 ESV

There are many mysteries in the Bible, many things that our finite brains cannot comprehend for the Bible was inspired by our Infinite God, we even need Him to help us to understand the things that He has revealed! The things that are revealed are enough to bless us for several lifetimes, so lets look at just a few of them today.

GOD'S (AGAPE') LOVE FOR MANKIND REVEALED
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.

GOD'S PLAN TO REDEEM SINNERS; THE GOOD NEWS, THE GOSPEL, REVEALED
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:9-13.

"Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." 1 John 5:10-12.

GOD'S CHARACTER REVEALED

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" Isaiah 6:3

"The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His Sovereignty rules over all." Psalm 103:19.

"The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!" Lamentations 3:22-23.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint and to him who has no might He increases strength." Isaiah 40:28-29.

GOD'S WORD, THE BIBLE REVEALED
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8.

"So shall My Word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty. But it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the matter for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11.

"For I am the LORD; I will speak the Word that I will speak, and it will be performed. I will speak the Word and perform it, declares the LORD God." Ezekiel 12:25.

"Then the LORD said to me...I am watching over My Word to perform it." Jeremiah 1:12.

"For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

WHAT GOD WANTS FROM MANKIND REVEALED
"And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And a second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39.

"And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him." Hebrews 11:6.

God wants nothing short of total surrender...
