Through God
For God didn’t send His Son into the world
to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17
Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation (mercy seat) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.

(forbearance is delay of punishment,
He delayed ours to put it on Christ)
3
After defeating the marauding kings and recovering all, refusing compromise with the king of Sodom,
and then communion with Melchisedek,
priest of the Most High God,
the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield,
and your exceeding great reward.
And Abram said, You have given no heir.
And He brought him outside, and said,
Look toward heaven, and count the stars,
4
so shall your seed be. And he believed in the Lord;
and He counted it to him for righteousness.
Genesis 15:1-6
And the promise, that he would be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

We are found in Him,
not having our own righteousness,
which is by the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.

like precious faith with us
through the righteousness of God
and our Savior Jesus Christ.

6
Through God we will do valiantly:
for it He that will tread down our enemies.
Psalm 60:12
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pull down of strong holds.
1 Corinthians 10:4
A crowd rushed up to Peter and John when they saw a man lame from birth walking and leaping and praising God. Peter told them, Don’t look at us as though we did this.
7
You denied the holy and just One.
You killed the Prince of Life,
but God raised Him from the dead.
And through faith in His name
God has given this man the perfect health.
Acts 3:12-16
What the law could not do,
because it was weak through the flesh,
God sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin,
so that the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled in us, Romans 8:3,4
8
And the Spirit also helps our infirmities:
for we don’t know what’s right to pray for,
so the Spirit Himself intercedes for us.
And He that searches the hearts
knows the mind of the Spirit,
because He intercedes for the saints
according to the will of God.
Romans 8:26,27
Through Jesus we have access
by one Spirit to the Father. Ephesians 2:18
God showed His love toward us by sending His only begotten Son into the world,
9
that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:9
Much more then, being justified by His blood,
we will be saved from wrath through Him.
Romans 5:9
For God has concluded all in unbelief,
that He might have mercy on all.
(Adam disbelieved God
and that set all his offspring in unbelief.)
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom
and knowledge of God!
10
how unsearchable are His judgments.
His ways can’t be searched out! Romans 11:33
I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
If we live through the Spirit
we put to death the deeds of the body,
and live.

11
God, from the beginning, chose you to be saved through sanctification of the Spirit
and belief of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:13
The ashes of a heifer sprinkled on the unclean,
sanctified, purified them for one year.
How much more will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot to God, eternally cleanse our conscience
from dead works
to serve the living God? And for this reason,
He is the mediator of the New Covenant,
12
that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
those who are called,
might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:13-15
Through faith in God,
Israel marched out of Egypt carrying with them
their ancient treasures
and crossed the Red Sea on dry land
while their enemies who had killed their infants
and horribly abused them for 400 years
were drowned by walls of water.
13
Others subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness,
obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
Quenched the violence of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword,
out of weakness were made strong,
were valiant in battle,
turned to flight the armies of foreigners.
Women received their dead raised to life again.

Through Him who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
higher than the heavens,
who, by one sacrifice,
perfected forever those who believe.

Revelation 1:5,6
Of our eternal Father, and through him,
and to him, are all things:
to whom be glory forever. Amen.
