God's Description Of Himself

Exodus 34: 6-7, 14

The Lord passed by him and proclaimed, "Yahweh, The Lord God, the God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren, the entire family is affected--even children in the third and fourth generations. ... You must worship no other gods, for the Lord [Yahweh], Whose very Name is Jealous, is a God Who is jealous about His relationship with you."

God will not share with any other any of His worthiness to receive adoration. He must be first, He must be recognized as the Only One Who deserves to be worshiped and adored.

He alone is our Self-Existent One Who has designed and made everything that is by creating it, everything else that exists other than Himself. He is our Owner and Master by Creation. He is also our Owner and Master by purchase, when Jesus bought the whole World by fulfilling the Corporate Sacrifice (Leviticus 4:13-21. I believe He will fulfill the Day of Atonement [Leviticus 16:29-34] at His Return.) As our Owner, He is our rightful Judge. 

Jesus also fulfilled the first Sacrifice every person was to bring, the Personal Sacrifice, listed first in the Book of Sacrifices, Leviticus. 

So Jesus died for each of us for Salvation, and for all of us for Judgment. 

O my Father, You are the very God Who is filled with love and faithfulness to send Your Son to take upon Himself the death each of us deserves, to suffer Your wrath for our sins in our place; and Who is also just and will call the guilty to account to the third and fourth generation of those who refuse to admit their culpability before You in deserving death.  

Thank You for calling me to Yourself, granting me the gift of faith to believe You and put my trust in You to accomplish everything You have said You would do. Thank You for forgiving me and cleansing me in the precious Blood that washes away every stain inside and out. Thank you for giving me Your Holy Spirit, placing Him into my spirit to make it alive and teach me everything I need to know from Your Word to live my life following Your will for me.

You are so good, Father, and so generous with Your blessings to us all. I don't understand other people who don't recognize You, who don't see Your goodness and Your greatness and Your authority over them; who choose the darkness over Your wonderful Light (John 3:19-20). 

I praise You, Father, for Your justice in judging those who refuse You, those who hate You, and those who want to destroy Your people. You are just, and Your justice will prevail. 

Thank You for Your glory, Your love, Your faithfulness, Your power, and Your wisdom. Thank You for Your great Plan of the Ages, which no one is able to defy or deter. Thank You that You are working out Your Plan in this World, upon this Earth that belongs to You. Thank You that Your Plan will give You all the credit, all the glory, as it plays out to the good of Your children here. Thank You.

Even so, come Lord Jesus!
