John 6:63
King James Version
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
How did governments begin?
On whose shoulders did the responsibility of governing fall upon?
Where did all organization come from?
A born again knows where it all began.
We attribute everything to GOD.
Without GOD, there would be no earth, no heaven, no man.
The first real government was created by GOD.
Before He did, there was nothing at all.
Genesis 1:1-2
King James Version
1 In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
John 1:1-3
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made
that was made.
GOD spoke, and it came into being.
Genesis 1:3
King James Version
3 And God said,
Let there be light:
and there was light.
He gave everything to His Son, JESUS.
John 1:14
King James Version
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.
His Son. JESUS, became the government.
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
All power was given unto JESUS.
Mark 14:61-62
King James Version
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him,
Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am:
and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Ephesians 1:17-23
King James Version
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance
in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power
to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power,
and might, and dominion,
and every name that is named,
not only in this world,
but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Colossians 2:8-10
King James Version
8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth
all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power:
Colossians 2:13-15
King James Version
13 And you,
being dead in your sins
and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it.
How is the state of our world now?
Does it reflect the presence of CHRIST?
Or have we been deluded?
And made to embrace that which is not of CHRIST?
I think, deep in our hearts, we know the answer.
In JESUS alone do we have salvation.
In JESUS alone do we have hope.
In JESUS alone do we have life.
In JESUS is TRUE government.
