'God' in the Bible

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

He will turn many of the sons of Israelto the Lord their God.

The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and tell you this good news.

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

Then the angel told her:Do not be afraid, Mary,for you have found favor with God.

He will be greatand will be called the Son of the Most High,and the Lord God will give Himthe throne of His father David.

The angel replied to her:“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.Therefore, the holy One to be bornwill be called the Son of God.

For nothing will be impossible with God.”

and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,

Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,because He has visitedand provided redemption for His people.

Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:

Glory to God in the highest heaven,and peace on earth to people He favors!

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told.

Simeon took Him up in his arms, praised God, and said:

and was a widow for 84 years. She did not leave the temple complex, serving God night and day with fasting and prayers.

At that very moment, she came up and began to thank God and to speak about Him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.

and everyone will see the salvation of God.

Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

son of Enos, son of Seth,son of Adam, son of God.

The Devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

And Jesus answered him, “It is written:Worship the Lord your God,and serve Him only.”

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”

“Leave us alone! What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

Also, demons were coming out of many, shouting and saying, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Messiah.

But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.”

Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to think: “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Immediately he got up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe and said, “We have seen incredible things today!”

how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the sacred bread, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat? He even gave some to those who were with him.”

During those days He went out to the mountain to pray and spent all night in prayer to God.

Then looking up at His disciples, He said:You who are poor are blessed,because the kingdom of God is yours.

Then fear came over everyone, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited His people.”

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

Soon afterward He was traveling from one town and village to another, preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

So He said, “The secrets of the kingdom of God have been given for you to know, but to the rest it is in parables, so thatLooking they may not see,and hearing they may not understand.

“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

But He replied to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who hear and do the word of God.”

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What do You have to do with me, Jesus, You Son of the Most High God? I beg You, don’t torment me!”

“Go back to your home, and tell all that God has done for you.” And off he went, proclaiming throughout the town all that Jesus had done for him.

Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

When the crowds found out, they followed Him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and cured those who needed healing.

I tell you the truth: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

And they were all astonished at the greatness of God.While everyone was amazed at all the things He was doing, He told His disciples,

But He told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”

But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near you.’

‘We are wiping off as a witness against you even the dust of your town that clings to our feet. Know this for certain: The kingdom of God has come near.’

He answered:Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.

He said, “Even more, those who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed!”

“But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of mint, rue, and every kind of herb, and you bypass justice and love for God. These things you should have done without neglecting the others.

Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’

“And I say to you, anyone who acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God,

but whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared—whose will they be?’

“That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Consider the ravens: They don’t sow or reap; they don’t have a storeroom or a barn; yet God feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than the birds?

If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you—you of little faith?

Then He laid His hands on her, and instantly she was restored and began to glorify God.

Again He said, “What can I compare the kingdom of God to?

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown out.

They will come from east and west, from north and south, and recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

When one of those who reclined at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, “The one who will eat bread in the kingdom of God is blessed!”

No household slave can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t be slaves to both God and money.”

And He told them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly admired by people is revolting in God’s sight.

“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is strongly urged to enter it.

But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.

Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God will come, He answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with something observable;

no one will say, ‘Look here!’ or ‘There!’ For you see, the kingdom of God is among you.”

“There was a judge in a certain town who didn’t fear God or respect man.

“For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect man,

Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay to help them?

The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: ‘God, I thank You that I’m not like other people —greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

“But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, ‘God, turn Your wrath from me—a sinner!’

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

Seeing that he became sad, Jesus said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!

For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

He replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”

So He said to them, “I assure you: There is no one who has left a house, wife or brothers, parents or children because of the kingdom of God,

Instantly he could see, and he began to follow Him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

As they were listening to this, He went on to tell a parable because He was near Jerusalem, and they thought the kingdom of God was going to appear right away.

Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

They questioned Him, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.

“Well then,” He told them, “give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”

For they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.

Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

He is not God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to Him.”

As some were talking about the temple complex, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, He said,

In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the Power of God.”

They all asked, “Are You, then, the Son of God?”And He said to them, “You say that I am.”

But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?
