Timothy 1:17
17 Honor and glory to the King that rules forever!
He cannot be destroyed and cannot be seen. Honor and
glory forever and ever to the only God. Amen.

The King
Eternal...Jesus
1
Timothy 1:17. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
Paul the writer breaks out into an exclamation.
Because
of the very excitment of his mind
Because he cannot say enough about the grace of God.
The remembrance of the God's great mercy
to him causes him to break forth in praise.
How unspeakably sweet is the thought of eternity to believers!
Jesus is the King, eternal-literally
King
of the eternal
"The
Lord shall reign for ages and beyond them."
"Thy
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,"
"a kingdom of all ages."
The
"life everlasting" for all who have Jesus as their Lord and
Saviour
"for ever and ever"
"to
the ages of the ages"
"incorruptible."
When
a believer in Jesus who has chosen to follow Him is given
eternal life. No one can take that gift away from them.
A
Gift from God will not go bad like "valuables" on
earth.
Heavens
treasures will be for us believers.
And
they will never spoil or go bad.
A believer can be filled with faith
A
believer has Christ in his heart.
This is a faithful saying...
These
are true and faithful words,
which
may be depended on,
That
the Son of God came into the world, willingly and purposely
to save sinners.
A
person can come to Him this way...
If a person really desires to trust in Jesus as the Son of
God, who once died on the cross, and now reigns upon the throne
of glory, to save all that come to God through him.
Let us then admire and praise the grace of God our Saviour
This is a faithful saying, etc.
Here we have the sum of the whole gospel, that Jesus Christ
came into the world.
The Son of God took upon him our nature, was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, Jn. 1:14.
He came into the world, not to call the righteous but sinners
to repentance, Mt. 9:13.
His errand into the world was to seek and find, and so save,
those that were lost, Lu. 19:10.
The
ratification of this is that it is a faithful saying, and
worthy of all acceptation.
It is good news, worthy of all acceptation; and yet not too
good to be true, for it is a faithful saying.
It is a faithful saying, and therefore worthy to be embraced
in the arms of faith: it is worthy of all acceptation, and
therefore to be received with holy love
Christ Jesus has come into the world; the prophecies concerning
his coming are now fulfilled.
He came to save sinners.
He
came to save those who could not save and help themselves.
The good news of Jesus coming...
...deserves
to be received,
...to
be believed by us all
It
is for our comfort and encouragement :)

He was, he is, and he is coming."
9 These living things give glory and honor and thanks to the
One who sits on the throne. He is the One who lives forever
and ever. And every time the living things do this, 10 the
24 elders bow down before the One who sits on the throne.
The elders worship him who lives forever and ever. They put
their crowns down before the throne and say:
