748. God is with you and he is the power

God is with you and he is the power- Psalms 118:24, 2 Corinthians 3:1-5, 2 Corinthians 4:5-7

Psalms 118:24

24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

2 Corinthians 3:1-5

3 Do we begin again to commend (represent as worthy) ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation (commendatory letters) to you, or letters of commendation from you?

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared (manifested: made visible) to be the epistle (what is sent to anyones home) of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with (resting within) the Spirit of the living God; not in (resting within) tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency (ability, fitness) is of (out from the origin) God;

2 Corinthians 4:5-7

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the (as) Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded (spoke) the light (underived and absolute light) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.
