We have the glory of God in writing. We have the grace of God in writing. We have the mercy of God in writing. We have the goodness of God in writing.

Exodus 33:19 Moses had seen the face of God face to face.
A theophany is an old testament appearance of Jesus Christ. In this situation a theophany is Jesus Christ in a literally human body. To behold the Glory of God is to behold His goodness, His mercy, and His grace.
Bible Doctrine is the revelation of the glory of God.
The Word of God in writing. John 1:14 The Lord Jesus Christ was full of grace. Luke 4:22 Full of Grace has to do with the person of Jesus Christ. There will never be a person who will stand before God and not have had an opportunity to behold His grace.
Titus 2:11, 12. Grace is simply God’s unmerited favor toward the human race. Grace is God loving you when you don’t deserve a single thing. Grace is the way God treats you and I because of what His Son did on the Cross.
There is nothing that you could ever do to make God love you or bless you. God loves you because of who He is and not what you are. God loves each and every one of us with a perfect and unconditional love. God’s glory is His graciousness, His mercy and His goodness.
Luke 4:22 Our words usually reveal what we are thinking, unless one is a hypocrite. Jesus Christ constantly spoke gracious words, and He constantly thought gracious thoughts. Jeremiah 29:13 The reason why they are thoughts of peace is so that you can except reconciliation and come to God’s expected end. Many Christians struggle to live the Christian way of life.
How can you please God? The first prerequisite to coming to a place of being a Christian that pleases God is that you have to know God’s thoughts towards who you are. Many people do not know what God’s glory is all about and they begin to feel condemned. God’s glory is His grace. God’s glory is His mercy. God’s glory is His goodness. Who wouldn’t want to draw near to a God who is filled with glory filled with Mercy, filled with grace and God that is good to us constantly? When Jesus Christ walked on this earth, He was filled with not just Truth, but Grace and Truth.¬¬¬¬ You can’t be filled with grace unless you’re filled with truth and truth is God doctrines.
You can’t be filled with truth unless you’re filled with grace. You can’t have one without the other, the two go together. The more truth that I learn,
the more grace that I’ll know about God and then the more gracious I’ll be to others. Jesus Christ, when He came down on earth, revealed His glory to the human race and His glory was revealed by grace and truth.
That is so precious when you think about it. In fact Grace and doctrine, Grace and truth, doctrine is what sustained Him in His earthly ministry.
You and I can go through any difficulty in life and have Bible doctrine, God’s word and God’s promises and the Holy Spirit to sustain us constantly.
When Jesus Christ came, He was filled with grace and truth and when our sins were poured upon Him and judged, grace and truth is what carried Him. Grace and Doctrine carried Him through.
The same thing that carried Him through you and I have the ability to carry us through right now,
at any time because His grace, His truth, the Shekinah Glory, and God the Holy Spirit will never leave us or forsake us. God the Father will never forsake us because God the Son already paid that price for every single one of us… If you lived when Christ lived and if you followed Him all around and you sat and you learn with Him and you went everywhere with Him, you would still not have what you have today, you would still not have the Shekinah Glory inside of you. You could’ve seen Him all that you want but you couldn’t behold all of His glory,
Psalm 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. In the person of Jesus Christ when he came down on the earth mercy and truth met, and then in the person of Jesus Christ righteousness and peace kissed. What does that mean?
That means that righteousness, God‘s righteousness,
God‘s holiness now has been totally at peace with mankind through Jesus Christ.
