Recommended: Isaiah 18

Isaiah 6 is one of my favorite passages in The Bible. I love the description that is given on what heaven is like. It is directly tied to the great commission in Mathew 28.
King Uziziah, who is mentioned at the beginning of the text, was considered a good king. He led Israel in military victories over many nations. In Kings 15:3 it says: “he did what was right I the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.” Yet, in Chronicles it says the he enters the temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. Because of this, God gave him leprosy. And the year that that great king died, Isaiah saw the throne of God. I can’t imagine the beauty and wonder of seeing God on His throne.
The seraphims are described in this passage as having six wings, but only using two for flying. Another two of are used for covering there faces, and some scholars believe that because they were so close to God, they would witness all of His glory which would be to powerful to behold, hence the covering of their face. The also covered their feet since they were considered unclean. Even perfect, superhuman beings had to humble themselves before a perfect and holy God. In The Bible, when something was repeated several times, it …show more content…

It is in our human nature to think highly of ourselves, to think that we are fundamentally good people. We are very selfish people even if we don’t mean to be. When one encounters God in such a personal matter, one realizes how petty and insignificant we really are. Everything is tiny compared to The King’s majesty and being. I am amazed daily that the creator of heaven and earth loves me. Although I am a filthy sinner, He loves me. Although He knows the depths of my heart, He loves me. Although He knows I will continue to sin, He still loves me. God shows His immense grace in this passage to Isaiah by taking away his sin and guilt through a burning

  • On The Inccarnation By Athanasius's On The Incarnation

    “This He did out of sheer love for us” (Athanasius 8). This quote refers to the amount of love that God had for humanity, this love had been strong enough to shine through our own rejection towards Him. It continues to do this. When the human race repeatedly rejected God, He continued to have mercy on us. “It was our sorry case that caused the Word to come down” (Athanasius 4). Why would God continue to love us after all this? God could not abandon us, His creation. If we look at kings and rulers in the time of Jesus, we would most likely see corruption and death. When a king was upset he would often take a violent path. God, on the other hand, chose to send someone kind and loving to help us rather than to hurt us. This proves that God is and was genuinely concerned for us, and wanted to see us prosper. “ Now that the common savior of all has died on our behalf, we who believe in Christ no longer die” (Athanasius 21). God wants us to have faith in Him, He wants us to live forever with Him. Another king might bring death upon his people rather than on himself only for his well being not of his people’s. When Jesus died He gave us the option of life over death. All we must do is have faith and believe that He is the on...

In addition, the passage also reminds us that even though God often works through humans, He is the one who deserves the praise from us.

    “We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth” (Edwards Para. 7), this quote correctly encompasses Edward’s view of the relationship between humans and God. He says as people find it easy and pleasurable to kill a bug or worm, God finds it pleasurable to kill a sinner. This comparison is very controversial, but the message intended is that God views sinners as the most despised bugs and waits until he is ready to smash them. Again, the unknown timing in this example serves as a warning that if an individual is not living according to the way of the bible, then changes in their mindset and actions are necessary for forgiveness to be truly

  • Why Jesus Christ Is To Me

    This certain verse points to my second factor of who Jesus Christ is to me; He is my hero. Sometimes I become overwhelmed when I ponder the magnitude of how the Savior of the world died an excruciating death to save me from my sins and guarantee me a place in heaven one day. I find it amazing that a king who should be seated on a throne in Heaven came down to earth and suffered persecution and crucifixion because He loves me that much! The even more amazing part of His death is His resurrection. He experienced death and hell and yet was strong enough to conquer both, as he rose from the grave on the third day. Jesus Christ is not only my Savior, He is my hero! My heart is forever filled with gratefulness for the incredible thing He did on the

  • The Bible: The Value Of Love In The Bible

    799 Words  | 2 Pages

    The use of the word Love is seen 15 times in Deuteronomy which shows the importance of love towards not only our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, the love we are to extend to our neighbor, the love we have for the Lord and of course the love the Lord freely gives to us. In the Old Testament the evidence of God’s love is seen repeatedly. In Deuteronomy 6:4-5 the passage is taken from perhaps the most well known Old Testament passage that is later referenced in the New Testament. We are directed to use all of our being to love the Lord. The evidence of God’s love is also revealed in (Deut 7:6-8,Deut 10:15, Deut 14:2) by choosing the Israelites as His chosen people, liberating the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt as well as showing

Some of these various accounts recorded in the Old Testament are prophetical in nature and foretell specific details about various events that will be fulfilled in New Testament times. Each of the six major sections carries its own unique overarching theme that will in some way tie into New Testament history and theology. The six major sections of Old Testament are: creation (Genesis 1-11), covenant (Genesis 12-50), congr...

  • The Calling Of Isaiah

    1971 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Book of Isaiah is a book full of oracles such as the one narrating Isaiah's calling to be a prophet for the Lord God. In accordance with his classical poetic style the passage is full of imagery and sensual descriptions. Concerned with the fall of the nation, Isaiah has God himself warning the people of what is to come for a stronger impact on the Israelites. As a man who lived through the reins of four kings whom throughout the book are of great importance, Isaiah sees God as a functioning king and ruler. Much of what is said and seen in Isaiah 6:1-13 relate to other events in the rest of the book and surely influence Isaiah's life completely.

  • Agape Love Essay

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    Humans experience three types of love in their lives: eros, philos, and agape. Eros love is conditional, like the love we experience for our favorite foods or TV shows. Philos love is conditional still, but deeper; the love we experience with our friends and family is philos. Agape love unconditional and everlasting; agape love is the love that devours. Humans cannot exhibit agape love for anything or anyone, but rather, only God can. God shows us agape love through Jesus’ crucifixion for our redemption. By sacrificing His one and only Son, God has freed humanity from sin. What about those that still sin? Does God truly love everyone with such unconditionality, or is His agape love reserved for an elite few? God’s love is indeed for everyone,
