1 墨爾本華人基督徒以勒團契聖經神學 ( 二 ) 從聖經認識神的屬性 ( 6 ) 全能的神亞伯蘭年九十九歲的時候, 耶和華向他顯現, 對他說 : 我是全能的神, 你當在我面前作完全人, 我就與你立約, 使你的後裔極其繁多. ( 創 17 : 1-2 ) 神曉諭摩西說 : 我是耶和華. 我從前向亞伯拉罕, 以撒, 雅各顯現為全能的神. 至於我名耶和華, 他們未曾知道. ( 出 6 : 2-3 ) 耶穌看著他們, 說 : 在人這是不能的, 在神凡事都能. ( 太 19 : 26 ) 四活物各有六個翅膀, 遍體内外都滿了眼睛. 他們晝夜不住的說 : 聖哉! 聖哉! 聖哉! 主神, 是昔在, 今在, 以後永在的全能者. ( 啟 4 : 8 ) 在神面前, 坐在自己位上的二十四位長老, 就面伏於地, 敬拜神, 說 : 昔在, 今在的主神, 全能者啊, 我們感謝祢! 因祢執掌大權作王了 ( 啟 11 : ) 唱神僕人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌, 說 : 主神, 全能者啊, 祢的作為大哉! 奇哉! 萬世之王啊, 祢的道途義哉! 誠哉! ( 啟 15 : 3 ) 我聽見好像羣眾的聲音, 眾水的聲音, 大雷的聲音, 說 : 哈利路亞! 因為主我們的神, 全能者作王了. ( 啟 19 : 6 ) 我未見城內有殿, 因主神全能者和羔羊為城的殿. ( 啟 21 : 22 ) 主耶穌親自的提醒 : 耶穌回答說 : 你們錯了 ; 因為不明白聖經, 也不曉得神的大能. ( 太 22 : 29 ). 然而, 人子來的時侯, 遇得見世上有信德嗎? ( 路 18 : 8 ) 親愛的弟兄姊妹, 神藉著聖經明明的宣告 : 我是全能的神, 更在人類的歷史進程中, 以色列民族的歷史中, 教會的發展過程中, 以祂榮耀的權能施行各種各樣大能的作為, 並將這些作為紀錄在聖經裏, 目的是要建立每一個屬主的人的信心, 不要怕, 只要信 ( 路 8 : 50 ), 你若信, 就必看見神的榮耀 ( 約 11 : 40 ), 以致在我們一生當中, 無論在任何境況, 能夠以一個即或不然的信心, 完完全全信靠這位愛我們的主, 愛我們的神, 以祂作為我們的磐石, 我們的盾牌, 更成爲我們的力量. ( 1 )

4 Melbourne Chinese Christian Jireh Fellowship Bible Theology 2. Understanding God s attributes from the Bible 6. The Almighty God When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers. (Genesis 17:1-2) God also said to Moses, I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them. (Exodus 6:2-3) Jesus looked at them and said: With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26) Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stopped saying: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. (Revelation 4:8) And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying: We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. (Revelation 11:16-17) and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages. (Revelation 15:3) Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like a roar of rushing waters and like the loud peals of thunder, shouting: Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. (Revelation 19:6) I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:22) Lord Jesus himself reminded us: Jesus replied, You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. (Matthew 22:29) However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8) Beloved brothers and sisters, through the Bible, God clearly declared: I am the Lord God Almighty. In the history of mankind, the history of the nation of Israel and the course of the development of the church, through His glorious authority God has accomplished various mighty deeds, and these mighty works have been recorded in the Bible, with a purpose to build up the faith of all of His people. don t be afraid; just believe.. (Luke 8:50), if you believed, you would see the glory of God (John 11:40). Hence, in our entire lives, regardless of the situation, we can have a steadfast faith, to completely trust in our loving Lord and God because He is our rock and our shield, and even more so, He is our strength.

5 Manifestations of the Almighty God s power 1) The power to create the heavens and the earth, and all of creation (Psalms 96:5-7) For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 2) The power to rule over all creation (Psalms 103:19-20) The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. 3) The power to have control over human history (Daniel 2:20-21) and said: Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever, wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 4) The power to determine life and death, prosperity and destruction (Deuteronomy 30:15-16) See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. 5) The power to perform miraculous signs and wonders (Daniel 4:1-3) King Nebuchadnezzar, To the peoples, nations and men of every language, who live in all the world: May you prosper greatly! It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me. How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation. 6) The power to conquer sin and temptation (Hebrews 4:15, 7:26) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet was without sin. Such a high priest meets our need one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 7) The power to save through grace and mercy (1 Peter 1:3-5) Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 8) The power to build up and renew lives (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:24) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

6 The Almighty God s comfort and encouragement I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, You are my servant ; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:9-13) Saints respond in faith 1) Rely on God s power to walk in the Lord s way (Psalms 84:5-7) Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. 2) Rely on God s power to face hardships and difficulties (Psalms 29:10-11) The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. 3) Rely on God s power to face spiritual struggles (Ephesians 6:10-12) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 4) Rely on God s power to overcome spiritual weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9) But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ s power may rest on me. 5) Rely on God s power to spread the gospel and His Word (1 Corinthians 2:4) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit s power, so that your faith might not rest on men s wisdom, but on God s power. 6) Rely on God s power to serve Him diligently and faithfully (1 Peter 4:11) If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. In anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides,
