“Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:3, Ephesians 1:3, Apostle
Saul (who is also called Paul), and Peter, “Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ” in 1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV)
In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah
Yeshua, greetings.
“That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17 (NKJV)
I don’t know
about you but I’d say someone in the first century was well aware of who “the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ” is. That
someone is the Apostle Paul and Ephesians 1:17 is plain, simple, and easy to
understand.
It’s very encouraging to those of us accepting it as an
absolute truth, straight from the [Bible].
Paul knew “the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory” was Jesus’ God
and, Father. Paul was led by the Spirit
of God to write what is known to us today as Ephesians 1:17, thus making it
100% trustworthy as is. I wouldn’t
attach Paul’s name to anyone’s interpretation of Ephesians 1:17, if I were you.
“That you may with one mind and with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” Romans 15:6
“Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God
of all comfort.” 2 Corinthians 1:3
“The God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I
am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31
“Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3
“We give thanks to the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.”
Colossians 1:3
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the
temple of My God, and he
shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the city of My
God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him
My new name.” Revelation 3:12
(NKJV)
After reading
Paul’s “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” five times, Jesus
calling God “My God” His God four times, would you say Paul and Jesus’
God are one and the same. I would. Taking it one step further the last entry of
the New Testament occurred near the end of the first century and, the
Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is
God” can only be traced back to the names of those not mentioned in the
[Bible].
The ink began to flow in 325-AD, thus giving birth to
what’s known to us today as the Anthanasian Creed.
I’m not
looking to force anyone into believing anything here but Paul’s writings are
[Biblically] sound, in this case Ephesians 1:3, Ephesians 1:17, Romans 15:6, 2
Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 11:31 and Colossians 1:3.
The rest is
between you and the all-knowing God of the [Bible], I’ve already surrendered to
the [Bible] being sufficient enough as is.
I do pray that you see things God’s way, which is the safest thing
anyone could do.
God bless.
In His Care…Jim
