“…The
appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and
all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as
if one wheel were within another…”
(Ezekiel 1:16
NASB).
1. Christian
workmanship is foredetermined by God.
2. The good a
Christian accomplishes is the gift of His Hand.
3. The greatest
gift of the Triune Majesty Himself with primary focus on Jesus Christ because
of His eternal importance in how someone is right before the Father, Son and
Spirit. As a juts sinner is right before
the Father through the Son by the Spirit, he or she is also just before the Son
and the Spirit. Tell me, O sinner, will you
stand before Triune Holiness?
4. God’s
creation of time is intricate in all things.
5. The wheel
within another is God’s meticulous handiwork.
6. Everything
in general revelation is all about a Trinitarian glory that is all about God
Himself.
7. Everything in
special revelation is all a Trinitarian glory that is all about God Himself.
8. The Father
has a presence, the Son has a presence and the Spirit has a presence: namely,
the Triune presence of God.
9. The Father
is here in His omnipresent, divine humility.
10.
The Son is here in His omnipresent, divine humility.
11.
The Spirit is here in His omnipresent, divine
humility.
12.
The Father has no problem with the eternal Son, but
what problem would He have with you in light of His holy Word?
13.
The Son has no problem with the Father’s plan, but He
agonized over the sin applied to Him and the Father’s punishment where He did
not disagree with the Father but understood the horror of the Father’s wrath
upon sin?
14.
The Father and the Son have no problem with the
Spirit, because the Spirit does whatsoever is pleasing to conviction the world
of righteousness, sin and judgment!
15.
The Spirit has no problem with the Father and Son,
because the Father and Son do whatsoever is right thing at all times in total,
utter and exhaustive perfection unto a thrice aseity!
16.
Are you lying to God about your standing before
Him?
17.
Do you even put up an appearance before a holy God
that is not all about His Son by His Spirit and Word?
18.
Do you possess the heavenly treasure of the robes of
the Lamb of God by God’s oath where He cannot lie?
19.
Are you lying to yourself about your standing before
God? If you have discovered its deceit,
there is still time.
20.
Don’t you realize you can bring it to the Father and
He will wash it away through His eternal Son?
21.
Do you hold to the mere appearance of the robes of
Jesus?
22.
Do you hold to the mere appearance of good?
23.
Hold fast to a sound profession of faith.
24.
Cling to a sound possession of the Spirit of God.
25.
Are you about mere appearances or genuineness of
heart?
26.
A deceptive front is not a standing on the Rock of
Offense.
27.
The devil and fallen angels has a lying appearance.
28.
Satan comes to destroy, bring disbelief, cause
deception and bring eternal destruction.
29.
There is One God revealed in three distinct Persons.
30.
There is One Glory revealed in three distinct Glories.
31.
The Father’s design is to glorify the Son.
32.
The Son’s work glorifies the Father’s design.
33.
The Father and Son glorify the Spirit.
34.
The Spirit glorify the Father and the Son.
35.
The Father is much like beryl that shines.
36.
The Son is much like an emerald is precious.
37.
The Spirit is much like an emerald that is sacred.
38.
The shattered image of God due to the fall of Adam is
a picture of God’s handiwork in the beauty of creation.
39.
Sometimes God’s general revelation in the His
handiwork of all things reveals things are strangely and wonderfully made.
40.
People give the appearance of good but are no good.
41.
The true doctrine is justification by faith unto
works.
42.
The Father designs of the Christian workmanship.
43.
The Son is the par
excellence greatest example of God’s unified work that defies the mind of
men because it is God’s unified work as Incarnate Deity.
44.
It is good to understand Jesus as an example but if
only left to that everyone has missed the point because God the Son became man
to redeem the elect sons and daughters of Adam.
45.
The Spirit of God applies the Father’s design through
the Son that is understood as our workmanship but it is a gift of His hand in
the little good things of life that reflect Jesus.
46.
The perfect Father always agrees with the perfect Son.
47.
The perfect Son always agrees with the perfect Father
and the Son.
48.
The perfect Father and perfect Son always agree with
the perfect Holy Ghost.
49.

of truth.

Truth: namely, the Father Who is Truth, the Son Who is Truth and the Spirit Who
is Truth.
54.
There is a Trinitarian harmony, unity and eternal
blessedness among the Three distinct Members of the Triune Godhead.
55.
The Father is like the appearance of the brilliance of
an emerald because it sparkles with divine glory.
56.
The Son is like the appearance of the beauty of an
emerald because it shines like the Transfigured Christ in His public and
earthly ministry as Incarnate Light.
57.
The Spirit is like the appearance of the splendor of
an emerald because it glistens, glows and glorifies the Holy Ghost Who comes in
the form of the dove of God.
58.
The Father communicates to the Son and Spirit but the
Son has the “role” of the Second Person and the Spirit as the Third Person of
the self-existent Trinity.
59.
The Son is Someone Who prays to the Father because He
always intercedes for His people.
60.
The Son intercedes by supernatural, divine and
constant prayer of His all-exclusive unified work of His life and death in how
someone is right with God before the Father.
61.
The elect people of God will appear in the sole robes
of unified, divine and supernatural righteousness of the Lamb of God in
justification by faith alone.
62.
The Father is obeyed by the Son in co-equal
submission.
63.
The prayers of the eternal Son are never refused by
the Father.
64.
The Father and the Son dwell in absolute harmony,
unity and peace between the Persons of the Godhead.
65.
The work of the Spirit of God is never refused by the
Father and Son.

The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and Son to
accomplish His work (this is denied in Eastern Orthodoxy).

The work of Triune God is eternally open to the
Persons of the Triune Godhead.
68.
The Three distinct Persons are perfectly united in the
Trinitarian and eternal purpose of the Father, Son and Spirit.
69.
The Father works His design through the Son by His
Spirit.
70.
The Son works His sole unified work for grounds of
justification by faith alone in Christ alone.
71.
The Spirit works His application of conviction of sin
and judgment.
72.
The Holy Spirit performs a divine work to the world of
reprobates unto a civil warm heart with no spiritual awakening but because He
is a good God.
73.
The Holy Spirit performs a divine work to the world of
elect Christians unto a new redemptive heart by His written Word, contained in
the Holy Bible.
74.
The Father designs the wheels of workmanship.
75.
The Son completes the work of the wheels of
workmanship.
76.
The Spirit applies the regenerating and sanctifying
wheels of workmanship.
77.
A Christian is called to be a workmanship by the
Spirit and Word that is all about the Old & New Testament Commandments in
divine Scripture.
78.
The Father wills the Son, the Son wills the Father and
the Father and the Son wills the Spirit.
79.
The Father loves the Son, the Son loves the Father and
the Father and Son love the Spirit.
80.
There is a transcendent brilliance, beauty &
benevolence of the Triune Majesty: namely, the Father, Son and Spirit.
81.
The Triune Godhead made mankind into the image and
likeness of Himself that bears the mark of human dignity in the shattered image
of God due to the fall of Adam.

83.
The Son is the Second Person of the Trinity.
84.
The Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity.
85.
There is One God revealed in Three distinct Persons.
86.
The Father is pure spirit with a divine personality
but He appears to us in condescension of His presence.
87.
The Son is One Person with the two natures of human
and divine by distinction but not separation.
88.
The Son is the eternal only-begotten God-man, the
Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity.
89.
The Spirit of God is pure spirit with a divine
personality but He appears as a dove to condescend to our baby talk.
90.
The Father appears in a theophany without taking human
form like the Incarnation of God the Son but a manifested spiritual presence of
God the Father that means God appears to His chosen people in a divine
condescension to our lisping.
91.
The Son appears in a Christophany in the Old Testament
where He walked in the Garden of Eden and appeared in the Burning Bush and He
appeared over the Ark of the Covenant and He appeared to the parents of Samson
to bear him.
92.
The Spirit of God comes in the form of a dove because
He comes with the crux of gentleness in great power to subdue His enemies and
raise the dead who are His unto redemption.
93.
Are you about appearances for appearances’ sake?
94.
Are you about the honor of the Son because it is
right?
95.
Are your wheels on the straight way to glory through sola Christus by justification by faith
alone?
