Supernatural Life (Part 4)

3. The Supernatural Life is a Life Centered around Loving God enough to bring others to Him

Miracles bring an invisible God into the realm of the visible

​ KJV 190036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

​ NKJV130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

​ NASB9514 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

​ The Message14 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. 15 If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. 16 Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

​ WUESTNT23 And having been released, they went to their own associates and reported as many things to them as the chief priests and the elders had said. And they having heard this, with one accord raised their voice to God and said, O Lord, absolute in power, you who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them, who by the mouth of our father David your servant through the Holy Spirit said, Why did the Gentiles take on lofty airs and behave arrogantly, and the people devise futile things? The kings of the earth set themselves in array and the rulers formed a coalition to the same end, that of antagonism against the Lord and against His Anointed One, for of a truth, there joined together in this city, against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and with the people of Israel, to do as many things as your hand and counsel determined beforehand should come to pass. And as to the present circumstances, Lord, look upon their threatenings and grant at once to your bondslaves the ability to be speaking your word with all fearless confidence and freedom of speech while you stretch out your hand to heal, and grant that attesting miracles and miracles which arouse wonder may be done through the Name of your holy servant Jesus. And having prayed, the place in which they were gathered was shaken. And they were all controlled by the Holy Spirit and went to speaking the word of God with fearless confidence and freedom of speech. 32 And in the multitude of those who believed there was one heart and soul. And not even one was saying that anything of the things he possessed was his private property, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles of the Lord were constantly giving their testimony of the resurrection. And great grace was upon all of them, for there was no one among them who was in need, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, kept on bringing the equivalent values of the things that were being sold and kept on placing them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was constantly being made to each one according as he was having a need. And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, which latter name by interpretation means Son of Encouragement, a Levite, of the land of Cyprus, possessing a field, having sold it, brought the money and placed it at the feet of the apostles.
