Paul B Thomas This post has already been read 140 times!
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God be honor and glory forever and ever, Amen (1 Timothy 1:17).
Paul calls Jesus the “Only” wise God. Adam Clarke states,
Immortal.
“Aphtharto” ”
Incorruptable.
” not liable to decay or corruption…permanent and eternal.
Invisible.
“aorato” One who fills all things (Page 588)
Allow me to add my remarks here. Christ the visible is also invisible. Christ who works in all things is also in the unseen things. Christ who was temporary the Son is eternally the only wise God.
Why he is wise and the only wise God because no other god has died for us, offered himself for us, became one of us to save all of us. Only a wise God can do all of that and more. ”
Wise
” “Sopho” says Clark, “To the only wise God nothing visible or invisible being worthy of adoration but himself.” p588.

Awesome word, Pastor Paul! Thank you!Paulette
“Christ who was temporary the Son is eternally the only wise God.” This is a good one, brother Paul! It struck a chord in me. Everyday it seems that there aren’t enough praises for God 🙂
Great Word! This is the kind of post that is outside the box. Interesting how you said Christ visible but also invisible. Most people don’t even realize this. I really like this statement. I will have to use it and I will give you credit for it. Thank You Paul! Be Blessed!
