1 Peter 5:11
11 To him [autos] be glory [doxa] and [kai] dominion [kratos] for [eis] ever [aion] and ever [aion]. Amen [amen]. KJV-Interlinear
11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen. NASB
To ‘Him,’ is a reference to the one deity who brings perfection into your life, which is Jesus Christ. For, of Him and through Him are all things.
Jesus Christ controls history. Jesus Christ controls everything in history, everything in your life, everything that you can imagine and beyond.
To Him is dominion, which is power, control, authority, command, sovereignty, even territory, all territory that exists anywhere and everywhere.
Jesus Christ is the one who was in the burning bush before Moses. He is the ‘I Am,’ the eternally self-sufficient one. Which means that He has unlimited resources and unlimited abilities.
This is to impress upon you, that dedicating yourself to a daily study of the Bible, will produce a winning result for your life. In contrast, by avoiding your spiritual life, you will not have a winning result. At least not as good as it would be otherwise.
Winning with salvation and going to heaven is a win, but advancing to spiritual maturity is a completion and infinitely better.
The Bible is only a book of words. They are repeated over and over again, such that you cannot help but notice their principles at some point during your life.
But then everyone does know of God, Christ and doctrine. How is it then that people simply do not rush to Gods views, but instead rush to the opposite views from this world?
God offers everything and offers it forever.
The world offers nothing and goes into a great effort in order to get humanity distracted and all caught up in worldly activities, enticements, crusades, making them a priority over all else. People will invent their own morals and standards, and magnify them over those of Gods.
And yet, when all is said and done, Christ will be supreme and man, in this world, will be nothing. God will judge man. Man will never be able to judge God.
Why do people miss the point? What is it that makes people presume that their ideas and beliefs, are better than those of God?
