"The glorious gospel of the blessed God."
GOD so loved the world, that HE gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
To you is the word of this salvation sent.
The Gospel of your salvation.
The Gospel of God;.... the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;... the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood;... redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
It is the BLOOD that maketh an atonement. Without shedding of blood there is no remission. The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth from all sin.
Life which is in the blood.
He gave his life a ransom for many.
God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
He that hath the Son hath life.
He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life.
He that spared not His own Son, but delivered him
up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
BEHOLD what manner of love!
God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world (that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love), having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. (Eph. 1:66To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephesians 1:6).) Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
For this we say unto you, by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.
