The fear of יהוה is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do His work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! (Tehillim (Psalms) 111:10) But He, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times He turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all His wrath. (Tehillim (Psalms) 78:38) If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet live in darkness, we lie and do not follow the truth; But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Yeshua his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all our unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. (Yokhanan Alef (1st John) 1:6-10) |

I will declare Your greatness. 7 They will utter the memory of Your great goodness, and will sing of Your righteousness. 8 יהוה is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness. 9 יהוה is good to all. His tender mercies are over all His works. 10 All Your works will give thanks to You, יהוה . Your saints will extol You. 11 They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk about Your power; 12 to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, the glory of the majesty of His kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.
