We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

That we should say, that God has decreed every action of men, yea, every action that is sinful…and yet that God does not decree the actions that are sinful, as sin, but decrees them as good, is really consistent… By decreeing an action as sinful, I mean decreeing it for the sake of the sinfulness of the action. God decrees that they shall be sinful, for the sake of the good that He causes to arise from the sinfulness thereof; whereas man decrees them for the sake of the evil that is in them.
Jonathan Edwards

If we, as Christians, accept and embrace Caesar’s self-declaration of deity, either by his explicit declaration or by his practical behavior, we are idolaters… Many Christians [support statism] with cries of “Romans 13.” Statism has so corrupted our thinking that we can even twist Scripture to support it. Idolatry has always led to bad exegesis (Anthony Forsyth).

LAZARUS

JOH 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

JOH 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

JOH 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

JOH 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

JOH 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

JOH 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

JOH 11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

JOH 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

JOH 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

JOH 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

JOH 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

JOH 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

JOH 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

JOH 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

JOH 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

JOH 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

JOH 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

JOH 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

JOH 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

JOH 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

JOH 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

JOH 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

JOH 12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

JOH 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

JOH 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

JOH 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

JOH 12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

JOH 12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
