whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

“‘Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see

him?’ says the Lord; ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ says the Lord.”

(Jeremiah 23:24, NKJV)

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the

mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the

world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”

(Psalm 90:1-2, NKJV)

2. The Loving One

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who

loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know

God, for God is love.”

abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands,

forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin…’”

the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!’” (Isaiah 6:1-4, NKJV)

children's children to the third and the fourth generation.”

(Exodus 34:7, NKJV)

“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might

live through Him.” (1 John 4:9, NKJV)

of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.”
