ELOHIM – The Old Testament contains a number of names and compound names for God which reveal Him in some aspect of His character and dealings with mankind.*

In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth. Gen. 1:1

And God (Elohim) said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. Col. 1:15-23

All the magnificent power that is evident in the created world that Elohim brought into being by His Word alone is resident in the Person of Jesus Christ, God the Son, as He sits at the right hand of God the Father. Christian, “God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” 2 Cor. 4:6

Rejoice this Lord’s Day in the power of His resurrection and the security of the power of Elohim, the One that made you, that redeemed you and who will glorify you in His presence for all eternity.

YOU HAVE ELOHIM’S WORD ON IT!
