Through Him

While reading through Romans 1:5 and studying it, the phrase "through whom we have received..." seems significant to look at for a moment. I continue to look to the Precept Austin Web pages for help my studies. It is an awesome site.

Jesus is our creator
John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

Romans 11:36 "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."

I Corinthians 8:6, "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live."

Salvation is through Him
John 3:17 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. [The only way to get to the Father is through Jesus.]

Ephesians 2:18, "For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit."

Acts 13:39 "and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." [The Law can't make you free, only through Him.]

Romans 5:9 "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."

I Peter 1:20-21 "For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."

Romans 5:1, "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." [Amazing. Faith in Jesus is the conduit for peace with God.]

Romans 5:21, "so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." [What a sequence, sin = death, grace yields righteousness yielding eternal life; why? by Jesus Christ.]

I Corinthians 15:57, "thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

The works of Jesus
Acts 2:22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— [The work which Jesus did came about because of what God did through Him.]

Acts 3:16 “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all. [Faith in Jesus gives people strength; In this instance, it wasn't the man who needed the healing faith that produced the healing, it was the faith which Peter and John had in Jesus that healed the man.]

Colossians 2:15, "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."

Hebrews 7:25, "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."

John 1:17, "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ."

Acts 10:36, "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)—"

Romans 1:4-5, "who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake."

Romans 2:16, "God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus." [What a clear picture of Jesus being God. The secrets of men is known by Jesus Christ."]

Jesus enables the works of man
Romans 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

Colossians 1:19-20, "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

I John 4:9, "By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him."

Colossians 3:17, "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father."

Hebrews 13:15, "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name."

Romans 1:8, "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world." [As we pray, we do it in the name of Jesus Christ.]

Forgiveness of sins through Him
Acts 10:43 “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” [Accessed through belief/faith.]

Acts 13:38 “Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you." [Available to all.]
