Names of Christ - I AM Alpha & Omega

 Revelation 1:8

"I Am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The Ending," says The LORD God, "which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty."

I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

EIMI AL-FAH O

(pronounced ay-MEE AL-fah O'-meg-ah)

    Christ's limitlessness -- without end/without beginning; always has been, still is, and always will be -- is without compare. For our Savior is The Living Word of God. John 1:14 "And The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of The Only Begotten of The Father,) full of grace and truth." The Living Word. 

   As John also wrote in John 14:6: Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The LIFE. And, again, in John 7:39, referring the The Spirit of GOD, the believer in Christ would have Living Water flow out of them. 

    GOD is the only neverending GOD. He is above all gods (which are created by mankind) and is therefore Sovereign (Psalm 135:5). As the only GOD of any worth or value, He is to be feared (1 Chronicles 16:25), He is to be honored by giving Him ourselves (1 Corinthians 6:20) We are to love GOD wholeheartedly (Mark 12:30, Deuteronomy 6:5). We are to obey GOD (Job 36:11, Acts 5:29, Romans 6:16) faithfully. GOD is holy and requires holy people.

    GOD The Father Creates and Destroys. He sets up and tears down.  

    GOD The Son Saves through the blood He shed on the cross, gives New Life by conquering death for all who believe in Him, and Judges in righteousness when the time is given for judgment. 

    GOD The Spirit Breathes new life into the believer's body and soul, which begins the process of sanctification in making GOD's people holy, that we might remain in GOD's holy presence which demands holiness in return. 

    Before there was an Earth, there was GOD, there was JESUS CHRIST, there was THE HOLY SPIRIT. Before there were stars in the sky, before the sun knew existence, before the moon shined in the night sky, there was GOD, there was JESUS CHRIST, there was THE HOLY SPIRIT. (Genesis 1)

    After this Earth is obliterated, and replaced with a new Earth and a new heavens, GOD will be, JESUS CHRIST will be, THE HOLY SPIRIT will be. (Revelation 20-22).

    But now, while today is today, if you do not believe that JESUS CHRIST is GOD's ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, you still have time to choose to believe in your heart that HE IS SAVIOR and speak aloud with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, thus announcing and declaring your faith in GOD through His Son JESUS CHRIST. AND in these days in which we live GOD IS, JESUS CHRIST IS and THE HOLY SPIRIT IS. 

Forever and ever. Amen.

A Crucified Life - - Answers The Call to Hope In The Lord

 

    Psalm 37:8,9

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not yourself: it only leads to evil. For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who Hope in the LORD will inherit the land. 

    Hope. Some do not have any kind of hope. They struggle and fail, believing the lies of the devil, and remain in the darkness of their thoughts and hearts. Their eyes are blinded to the Light of Hope that is found in believing in the Name of Jesus Christ for their salvation. 

    Hope is for everyone, especially the Hope of Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ. God loves us so much He sent His only begotten Son to die for us. John 3:16-18. Jesus died for you and for me. We could not pay for our sins in a once and for all manner. But Jesus could and did. Hebrews 2:9-14. 

    Hope in the Lord. There is no hope outside of the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for He is our Hope. Hope in the Lord is ours by faith in the Name. How do I know this? Acts 4:12 "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    Hope in the Lord. That which we hope for is not yet seen by the physical eye: it is only seen by the eyes of faith. We Hope and we wait with great expectation to be united face to face with our Savior and King. Romans 8:23-25. 

    So we walk out this Hope that is birthed within us when we believe in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. We walk it in Faith. And we wait. 

    1 John 3:2,3

Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this HOPE in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.

    Jeremiah declares that God is the Hope of Israel and that all who deny God will be ashamed and remembered no more (dust). 

     Jeremiah 17:13

O LORD, The Hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, The Fountain of Living Water.

   David writes in Psalm 71 that only The Lord GOD is his Hope, his confidence/trust. 

     Psalm 71:5

For You are my Hope, O Lord GOD, my Confidence from my youth.

    We, too, can have this same Hope in The Lord that the ancients of Scripture have. All we have to do is repent of our sins and believe on the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. The command is also to be baptized into Christ's Name. We pray The Lord lead you to the waters and the people to whom this command has also been issued and entrusted to follow. 

    Being briefly immersed fully in water is our public confession of faith. Acts 2:38  Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
