Amazing Grace

Titus 2:11

' For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin andthe eternal salvation for all mankind.'

Hebrews 4:16

' Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].'

Romans 6:1-2

' WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?'

Romans 6:12-14

' Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. Do not continue offering or yielding your bodily members [and faculties] to sin as instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of righteousness. For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God's favor and mercy].'

The evil work of principalities and powers will reduce if perpetrators of evil will stop patronising the principalities and powers.

Thus, affording opportunities for principalities and powers to change by using their evil work as stepping stones to develop mountains of good work.

The perpetrators of evil that have stopped patronising the principalities and powers.

But wish to stop practising evil should focus on Jesus Christ the chief corner stone who will turn their evil deeds into hills of good needs.

Ephesians 1:18

“And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), ”

The perpetrators of evil that have stopped patronising the principalities and powers.

But wish to stop practising evil should focus on Jesus Christ the chief corner stone who will turn their evil deeds into hills of good needs.

Matthew 5:14

“ “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; ”

The perpetrators of evil that have stopped patronising the principalities and powers.

But wish to stop practising evil should focus on Jesus Christ the chief corner stone who will turn their evil deeds into hills of good needs.

Psalm 121:1

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]— From where shall my help come?”

The perpetrators of evil that have stopped patronising principalities and powers.

But wish to stop practising evil should focus on Jesus Christ, the chief corner stone who will turn their evil deeds into hills of good needs, with reference to biblical book of Romans.

Ephesians 6:12

' For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.'

Perpetrators are patronising Sin from principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness.

Galatians 5:19-21

Examples of Sin (sight) are:

' Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.'

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

' For I passed on to you first of all what I also had received, that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold], [Isa. 53:5-12.] That He was buried, that He arose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold, [Ps. 16:9, 10.]'

Isaiah 53:5

“' But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.'

2 Corinthians 5:7

' For we walk by faith (when we don't eat forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil), and [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight i.e not by sin or appearance.'

Proverbs 31:10

' A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman (sin or sight) – who is he who (world health organisation) can find her?

She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls. [Prov. 12:4; 18:22; 19:14.]'

John 3:5

I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.

1 John 5:7-8

“For there are three witnesses: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement [their testimony is perfectly consistent]. ”

Romans 8:2

“For the law of the spirit (gas and water) of life (fire and blood) [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin (sight and wealth) and of death (sightlessness and dearth). ”

The spirit (gas and water) of life (fire and blood) and sin (sight and wealth) and of death (sightlessness and dearth) signifies life and death or non (life and death) beings or deities of God.

The Holy Communion

The most famous verse where Jesus calls Himself the bread of life is John 6:35:

' Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).'

Jesus repeats this powerful statement later in the same chapter in John 6:48 and John 6:51:

"I am the bread of life."
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever." [1]

What It Means

Spiritual Nourishment: Just like physical food keeps our bodies alive, Jesus sustains our souls.
Lasting Satisfaction: He teaches that worldly things only offer temporary fixes, but a relationship with Him satisfies our deepest spiritual hunger.
Eternal Life: Believing in Him brings forgiveness and eternal life with God. [1, 2, 3, 4]

*****************************

These famous words were spoken by Jesus during the Last Supper right before his crucifixion. You can find this specific quote in Matthew 26:28, as well as similar versions in Mark 14:24 and Luke 22:20. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

What It Means

The Cup and the Wine: Jesus held up a cup of wine during the Passover meal and used it as a symbol for what was about to happen to his body. [1, 2, 3]
A New Agreement: The "covenant" means a promise or a binding agreement between God and people. The old agreement required animal sacrifices. Jesus presented his own life as the final, ultimate sacrifice. [1, 2, 3]
Poured Out for Many: This phrase shows that his death was meant to benefit a large group—meaning all of humanity. [1, 2]
Forgiveness of Sins: His sacrifice was meant to wipe away wrongdoing and offer people a clean slate and a permanent relationship with God. [1, 2, 3]

We are what we eat

The wise serpents, harmless doves, curious cats, powerful eagles, sacrificial lambs and scape goats as examples of biological (cells, tissues, organs, systems, cycles), chemical (atoms, elements, molecules, compounds, mixtures) and natural (roots and shoots constituents) represents life and death or non (life and death) beings or deities of God with reference to 144,000 in the book of Revelation 7:1-8, Revelation 14:1-5, signifying Ephesians 1:4-14, Genesis 2:16–17, Genesis 6:19-20, Genesis 7:2-3 as well as John 6:35, John 6:48 and John 6:51.

Atoms

What it is: The basic, tiny building blocks of all matter.
Details: An atom is the smallest possible piece of an Atoms, elements, compounds and mixtures element that can still take part in a chemical reaction.
Example: A single atom of carbon (C 𝐶) or a single atom of helium (He 𝐻𝑒).

Elements

What it is: A pure substance made of only one single type of atom.
Details: An element cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical reactions. Elements are organized on the Periodic Table.
Example: Pure oxygen gas (O2 𝑂2), gold (Au 𝐴𝑢), or iron (Fe 𝐹𝑒).

Molecules

What it is: A group of two or more atoms joined tightly together by chemical bonds.
Details: A molecule can be made of the same kind of atom or different kinds of atoms.
Example: Oxygen gas (O2 𝑂2, two oxygen atoms) or a water molecule (H2O 𝐻2𝑂, hydrogen and oxygen).

Compounds

What it is: A substance made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed, strict ratio.
Details: Compounds have completely different properties from the individual elements that created them. They can only be separated back into elements through chemical changes, not physical ones.
Example: Water (H2O 𝐻2𝑂, always 2 hydrogens for 1 oxygen) and carbon dioxide (CO2 𝐶𝑂2, 1 carbon for 2 oxygens).

Mixtures

What it is: A physical combination of two or more substances (elements, compounds, or both) that are notchemically bonded.
Details: The parts of a mixture keep their own individual properties and do not have a fixed ratio. You can separate them using physical methods like filtering or boiling.
Example: Saltwater (salt mixed with water), air (a mix of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases), or a salad.

*****************************

Biology builds itself in a neat, step-by-step ladder of organization, starting from tiny microscopic parts and moving up to a whole living creature. [1, 2]

Cells

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things.
They are the smallest units that can still be called "alive".
Some tiny creatures are made of just one single cell.
Humans and trees are made of trillions of cells working together. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Tissues

A tissue is a group of similar cells teaming up to do one specific job.
The four main types in animals are epithelial (lining and protection), connective (support), muscle (movement), and nervous (signaling).
For example, muscle cells group together to form muscle tissue that helps you move. [1, 2, 3]

Organs

An organ is made up of two or more different types of tissues working as a team.
Because they have different tissues, they can handle bigger jobs.
Your heart is an organ made of muscle tissue to pump blood, nervous tissue to control the beat, and connective tissue to hold it together.
Other examples include the stomach, lungs, and brain. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Systems

An organ system is a group of different organs working together to keep the body running.
Your Digestive System uses your mouth, stomach, and intestines to break down food.
Your Respiratory System uses your lungs and airways to exchange gases.
There are about 11 or 12 major organ systems in the human body keeping everything balanced. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Biological Cycles

Life also moves in natural patterns or cycles to keep going.
Nutrient cycles, like the water cycle or carbon cycle, move essential elements through living and non-living parts of the earth.
Cell cycles govern how single cells grow, copy their DNA, and divide to make new cells.

*****************************

In biology, vascular plants are divided into two main structural systems: the root system (typically below ground) and the shoot system (above ground). [1]

The Root System

The root system is primarily responsible for anchoring the plant and absorbing moisture. Its major constituents include: [1]

Primary Root (Taproot): The central, dominant root that grows vertically downward. [1]
Lateral Roots: Secondary roots that branch horizontally from the primary root. [1]
Root Hairs: Tiny, microscopic extensions that dramatically increase surface area for water and mineral absorption. [1, 2]
Root Cap: A protective layer of cells covering the tip of the root to shield it as it pushes through soil.

The Shoot System

The shoot system constitutes the above-ground biomass responsible for photosynthesis and reproduction. Its major constituents include: [1]

Stems: The structural backbone that holds the plant upright and houses the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) for nutrient transport. [1, 2]
Leaves: The primary photosynthetic organs that capture sunlight and exchange gases. [1, 2]
Buds: Underdeveloped embryonic shoots that can give rise to new leaves, branches, or flowers. [1]
Flowers: The reproductive structures responsible for generating seeds. [1, 2]
Fruits: The ripened ovaries that protect seeds and aid in their dispersal. [1, 2]

*****************************

The forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden is known in the biblical book of Genesis as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. According to the narrative, God told Adam he could freely eat from any tree in the garden, but commanded him not to eat from this specific tree, warning that eating its fruit would lead to death. [1, 2]

The Story and the Fall

The Command: God placed Adam and Eve in the garden and made all the trees available except for the one in the middle. [1, 2, 3]
The Temptation: A serpent convinced Eve that eating the fruit would make them like God, knowing good and evil. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Act: Eve ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, who was with her, and he ate it as well. [1]
The Consequence: Their eyes were opened, they realized they were naked, and God expelled them from the garden to prevent them from also eating from the tree of life and living forever. [1, 2]

The main bible verses giving the command not to eat from it are found in Genesis 2:16–17: [1]

"And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'" [1]

Key Details About the Verse

The Location: The tree stood in the middle (the midst) of the garden, alongside the tree of life.
The Rule: God allowed Adam and Eve to eat from any other tree in the garden freely, but made this single tree an exception.
The Consequence: God warned that eating the fruit would result in death.
The Event: In Genesis 3:6, Eve and then Adam chose to disobey the command and ate the fruit after being tempted by the serpent. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

What Does It Symbolize?

Free Will: Most readers and theologians view the tree as a test of human freedom, giving people a real choice to love and obey God or turn away. [1]
Moral Boundaries: The tree represents the limit of human authority. Deciding what is ultimately good and evil belongs to God, not humanity. [1]
The Fruit: The Bible never names the exact type of fruit. The common idea that it was an apple comes from a translation mix-up in older Latin versions of the text. [1, 2]

*****************************

Ephesians 1:4-14

' Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]– [So that we might be] to the praise and the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence),Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose).

[And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him, [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.

In Him we also were made [God's] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will, So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory! In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it–to the praise of His glory.'

*****************************

The number 144,000 appears in the Bible in two main chapters of the Book of Revelation: Revelation 7 and Revelation 14. [1, 2]

Where the Verses Are Found

Revelation 7:1-8: This passage describes 144,000 sealed servants of God—12,000 coming from each of the twelve tribes of Israel (Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, and Judah). [1, 2]
Revelation 14:1-5: This section shows the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with the 144,000. They have God's name on their foreheads, sing a new song before the throne, and are described as redeemed from the earth, pure, and blameless. [1, 2]

What the Number Means

Readers and scholars interpret this group in a few different ways:

Literal Number: Some groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, view the 144,000 as a literal number of faithful believers who will rule with Christ in heaven. [1, 2]
Symbolic Meaning: Many Christian scholars believe the number is symbolic rather than exact. In biblical and apocalyptic writing, 12 (representing the tribes of Israel and the apostles) multiplied by itself and then multiplied by 1,000 (signifying completeness) represents the total, complete number of all God’s people across history. This view is often linked to Revelation 7:9, which immediately follows and describes a "great multitude that no one could count". [1, 2]

*****************************

The main Bible verses about the animals on Noah's Ark are found in Genesis 6:19-20 and Genesis 7:2-3. [1, 2]

Key Bible Verses

Genesis 6:19-20: Instructs Noah to bring two of every living creature (male and female) into the ark to keep them alive. You can read the full text of these verses in the referenced document. [1]
Genesis 7:2-3: Details the distinction for clean and unclean animals, specifying seven pairs of clean animals and birds, and one pair of unclean animals. You can find the full verses in the referenced document. [1]

What the Bible Says

Not Just Two by Two: While the general perception is that animals entered in pairs, God commanded Noah to take seven pairs of clean animals and birds, and only one pair of unclean animals.
The Reason for Extra Clean Animals: The additional clean animals were likely required for post-flood sacrifices, food, and survival.
Land Creatures: The accounts encompass birds, land animals, and creeping things possessing the "breath of life" on dry land. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
