God Shall Supply All Your Need, Part I

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever." (1)

The life of Jesus has shown what humanity can do by being a partaker of the divine nature. All that Jesus received from God we too may have. Jesus said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (2) "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." (3) "The Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God." (4) "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (5)

God's purpose is to benefit and bless us, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God." (6) "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly,-- The creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (7)

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord... If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (8)

"Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen." (9)
