'God' in the Bible

This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.

Now after John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and proclaimed the gospel about the kingdom of God.

He said, "The time is now! The kingdom of God is near! Repent, and keep believing the gospel!"

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

"Why does this man talk this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

So the man got up, immediately picked up his mat, and went out in front of all of them. As a result, all of the people were amazed and began to glorify God as they kept on saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

How was it that he went into the House of God during the lifetime of Abiathar the high priest and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?"

Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they would fall down in front of him and scream, "You are the Son of God!"

Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."

He told them, "The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

He was also saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seeds on the ground.

He was also saying, "How can we show what the kingdom of God is like, or what parable can we use to describe it?

screaming in a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you in the name of God never to torment me!"

You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition."

Then he told them, "You have such a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your own tradition!

But you say, "If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me is Corban,"' (that is, an offering to God)

You are destroying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other things like that."

Now about 4,000 men were there. Then he sent them on their way.

And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It's better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.

But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female.'

Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate."

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

I tell all of you with certainty, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

Then Jesus looked around and told his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

It's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God."

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "For humans it's impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."

Jesus told his disciples, "Have faith in God!

They came and told him, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or shouldn't we?"

So Jesus told them, "Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were utterly amazed at him.

As for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush, how God said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

Jesus answered, "The most important is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,

and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

Then the scribe told him, "Well said, Teacher! You have told the truth that "God is one, and there is no other besides him.'

When Jesus saw how wisely the man answered, he told him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one dared to ask him another question.

I tell all of you with certainty, I'll never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")

When the centurion who stood facing Jesus saw how he had cried out and breathed his last, he said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

Joseph of Arimathea, a highly respected member of the Council, who was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

So the Lord Jesus, after talking with his disciples, was taken up to heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
