Are you aware of the full counsel of God?
English: Peresopnytsia Gospels. 1556-1561. Miniature of Saint Matthew. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God ." ( Acts 20:27 ) Sometimes, it is good to step back and look at the "big picture"--the foundational perspective upon which the whole of Scripture is based. Four foundational passages in the New Testament provide pillars for the whole counsel of God. John 1:1-14 --The "Word" (our Lord Jesus ) was and is God; the "Word" made everything that was made; the "Word" was made flesh and dwelt among men. Romans 11:36 --All things are of Him, through Him, and to Him. Colossians 1:16-20 --By Him all heavenly and earthly powers were made; by Him all things are saved from destruction; by Him all things will be reconciled. 2 Peter 3:1-13 --He destroyed the first world because of evil; He will destroy this present universe by fire; He will create a new heavens and new earth .
