God

From: Ya‘akov, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah To: The Twelve Tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

No one being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and God himself tempts no one.

Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father who made the heavenly lights; with him there is neither variation nor darkness caused by turning.

for a person’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness!

The religious observance that God the Father considers pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being contaminated by the world.

My brothers, practice the faith of our Lord Yeshua, the glorious Messiah, without showing favoritism.

Listen, my dear brothers, hasn’t God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith and to receive the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

You believe that “God is one”? Good for you! The demons believe it too — the thought makes them shudder with fear!

and the passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled which says, “Avraham had faith in God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness.” He was even called God’s friend.

With it we bless Adonai, the Father; and with it we curse people, who were made in the image of God.

You unfaithful wives! Don’t you know that loving the world is hating God? Whoever chooses to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy!

But the grace he gives is greater, which is why it says, “God opposes the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.”

Therefore, submit to God. Moreover, take a stand against the Adversary, and he will flee from you.

Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Clean your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded people!

There is but one Giver of Torah; he is also the Judge, with the power to deliver and to destroy. Who do you think you are, judging your fellow human being?

chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and set apart by the Spirit for obeying Yeshua the Messiah and for sprinkling with his blood: Grace and shalom be yours in full measure.

Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who, in keeping with his great mercy, has caused us, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead, to be born again to a living hope,

Meanwhile, through trusting, you are being protected by God’s power for a deliverance ready to be revealed at the Last Time.

since the Tanakh says, “You are to be holy because I am holy.”

Also, if you are addressing as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s actions, you should live out your temporary stay on earth in fear.

Through him you trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your trust and hope are in God.

You have been born again not from some seed that will decay, but from one that cannot decay, through the living Word of God that lasts forever.

As you come to him, the living stone, rejected by people but chosen by God and precious to him,

you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be cohanim set apart for God to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to him through Yeshua the Messiah.
