Worthy Is The Lamb

"Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." The title Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God, is given to Jesus. "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come."2

Jesus Christ is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of kings of the earth.4 To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever Amen. He has made us to reign in His kingdom, priests of God. He will come soon, because His people have left their first love. "Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen."5

As God warned Israel that they had forsaken his love, full of "pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me."6 Now He speaks warnings to the churches; repent, turn from idolatry, from doctrines that are of the synagogue of Satan. Seek godly works; love, faith, patience, perseverance, the first being the most sought. He who overcomes will eat from the tree of life in the paradise of God, will receive the crown of life, and be a pillar in the temple of God...

"Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne."6

He who says these things to the churches is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, who is and who was and who is to come.7 He is clothed in white, garments of righteousness, his hair white like wool, his countenance as the shining sun in strength, his voice is as many waters and out of His mouth comes a sharp two edge sword. "I am He who lives and was dead, and behold, I live forever more"8

He who walks in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, which are the seven churches, holds seven stars, the seven angels of the churches, in his right hand.9 He who speaks to the churches is the first and the last, who was dead and came to life.11 It is He that a sword proceeds from his mouth.12 He who speaks to the churches is the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire  and feet like brass.13 These things to the churches says He who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, which are the lamps and the angels of the churches.14

He who speaks is holy and true, holding the key of David, who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens.14 As prophesied of, he has all authority in God's kingdom, He is the King of kings, "the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open."15 He is the fulfillment of the old covenant, of the promise, the ruler of the New Jerusalem, and the Lord of the kingdom in heaven and on earth.

These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True witness, the Beginning of the creation of God. Hidden in the beginning in God, this good news the prophets had a glimpse into, and this gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand, that through the seed of Abraham He would fulfill the promise, to bless his name, to make his name great, his descendants as numerous the stars, as the sands of the seas, that all kings, all nations, all people would be blessed in Him.

The throne of God is surrounded by a rainbow, and around the throne are seven lamps, which are the seven spirits of God, and the seven spirits or lamps sit on the seven lamp stands, which are the churches of God. Around the throne are twenty four thrones which sit the elders, clothed in white and crowned with gold. Four living creatures are around the throne, who do not rest saying "Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come!"19

Whenever the living creatures give glory the twenty four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever and they cast their crowns before the throne, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."20 He who sat on the throne has a scroll of things to come, of seven seals, and no one in heaven nor on earth could open the scroll or look at it, but One is worthy.

"Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose the seven seals."21 He stands in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, a Lamb as though it has been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, which are the lamps, which go on the lamp-stand which are the seven churches of God. These seven spirits are sent out into the earth. Then the Lamb took the scroll from the right hand of Him on the throne.

Then the four living creatures and the twenty four elders sang a new song and the voices of many angels, maybe a trillion, say with a loud voice; "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"22 One day a great multitude will stand before the throne, so large no one can number, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.23 These are they who come out of the great tribulation, who wear white garments washed in the blood of the Lamb. They will praise Him, made righteous by his blood, they will declare; “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 

Worthy is the Lamb

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body

The Tripartite Nature of Humanity: Spirit, Soul, and Body in Biblical Understanding The human being, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted creation, often understood through the distinct yet interconnected components of spirit, soul, and body. While some theological perspectives lean towards a bipartite view (soul and body), which we do see in the Old Testament, a careful examination of the New Testament scripture reveals a compelling case for a tripartite understanding, where each is divided into or composed of three parts. Let’s explore the biblical distinction between spirit, soul, and body. The Body: Our Earthly Vessel The body is the physical form that interacts with the material world. From the very beginning, Genesis 2:7 states, " Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being ." This verse clearly establishes the body's origin from the earth, emphasizing its connec...

The New Living Way

The New Living Way "... Now, at the present released from the Law, having died in that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of Spirit and not the old written code " -- Romans 7:16 Paul states that we are now united to Christ in his death and also raised with him into newness of life. What held them captive was sin but also the Law, it was a guardian until the appointed time God would send a Messiah (see School Master ). Paul uses the metaphor of marriage to describe how we are released from the Law; like a wife whose husband dies, now she is released from the Law and can marry another, so also have we died with Christ and are released from the Law and bound to Christ in a new covenant. The purpose of this is that we live in a new living way of the Spirit and not fleshly through the old written code or Mosaic Law. " So then brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ to the extent you exist by creation of another, the one raising you f...

Lord, Stand By Me

"... present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness ." 1 This word for present means "I bring, present, come up to and stand by," it is parístēmi (from pará, "from close-beside" and hístēmi, "to stand") – properly, stand close beside, i.e. ready to present (exhibit). I pray Lord stand by me which expresses that I put my trust in Him, or I come up to and stand by Him. We use phrases like surrendering or bowing at the cross to explain such a moment, surely it is a coming to the end of ourselves and it is desirable that I find His will acceptable, but it is important to understand that it is about trust, not my will power, the key is that it is in Christ. The terminology the scriptures use is "present yourselves to God," or come up to and stand by and walk with Him. "... present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this...

New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness

  New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness The New Testament presents a vibrant and multifaceted picture of spiritual growth, not as a static event but as a dynamic, lifelong journey for the believer. This journey, with emphasis on a strong foundation, progresses through a transformative process of maturity forged by endurance, ultimately aiming for the profound goal of experiencing the "fullness of God in Christ." The Foundation: A New Creation The inception of growth in Christ is marked by a radical spiritual new birth, a foundational shift that defines the Christian experience. It is not merely a moral reformation, but a divine act of creation. The apostle Paul declares this truth in 2 Corinthians 5:17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come ." This new creation is initiated by faith in Jesus Christ, where believers are justified and reconciled to God through His sacrifice. ...

Spirit of Life

" Indeed, the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus liberates from the law of sin and death ." 1 This word for liberates "I free, set free, liberate" is from a root word meaning free, exempt, not bound by an obligation. As partakers of God's divine nature, being born of Spirit, we are no longer obligated to the sinful nature but to righteousness which is God's nature. When we believe we receive the Spirit of promise, a guarantee of our inheritance, a great testimony that we are His children, it is a Spirit of Life. " Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." 24 The Son came not to condemn the world but to save it. "One trespass   led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. " 6 " He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and wa...

Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination

  Called According to His Purpose: A Biblical Examination 📖 Introduction The phrase “called according to His purpose” appears in Romans 8:28 (ESV), a foundational verse that reads: “And we know that for those loved of God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” This statement gives comfort and more—it is a declaration about identity, destiny, and divine intent. To be “called according to His purpose” means participating in God’s sovereign, redemptive plan. God's plan is being manifested through the church through the "new covenant in his blood" as it was established by the death of Jesus. The calling is not arbitrary or based on human merit, but is rooted in God’s purpose, eternal will and love. 🔍 The Nature of the Calling In Scripture, God's calling is effectual—that is, it accomplishes what He intends. Paul writes: "...those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified,...

Putting On the New Self

Putting On the New Self Theme: Spiritual Growth & Identity in Christ Key Scripture: “And to put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” — Ephesians 4:24 (ESV) 🕊️ Day’s Reflection The Christian journey is not about becoming a better version of our old selves. It is about walking in The New Living Way , putting on the new man created in the likeness of God. Scripture calls us to put on the new man , and this call is not symbolic or abstract. It is a command grounded in spiritual truth and lived out in daily walking as Christ walked. 📜 Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Ephesians 4:22–24 (ESV) “To put off your old man, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new man, created after the likeness of...

True Widows: A Biblical Perspective

True Widows: A Biblical Perspective Throughout Scripture, God's compassion for widows is evident. He is portrayed as their defender, provider, and source of justice. The Bible repeatedly calls believers to care for widows, reflecting God's own heart for the vulnerable. However, in his letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul provides a specific definition of a "true" widow, emphasizing the church's responsibility in supporting those who are genuinely in need. God's Compassion for Widows The Old Testament is rich with passages that reveal God's concern for widows. In Exodus 22:22, God commands, "You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child." This verse underscores His protective nature, ensuring that widows are not mistreated or neglected. Similarly, Deuteronomy 10:18 declares, "He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing." Here, God is depicted as a just and loving prov...

All Who Are Thirsty

“ Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;  and he who has no money,  come, buy and eat!  Come, buy wine and milk  without money and without price.  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,  and your labor for that which does not satisfy?  Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,  and delight yourselves in rich food. .." (Isaiah 55). " Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price ." Buy is defined as to acquire the ownership of by giving an accepted price or consideration therefore; to accept or believe as true .[ 1 ] When we buy something we consider the price that we must pay, we accept this and purchase the thing we have considered worthy of the sacrifice we make in payment. W e can not buy, with money or price, redemption from t his tragic flaw we are born into. However Jesus paid the price for us, so we buy or accept through consideration, the Greek word is  logizomai.[ 2] ...
