God is: Adonai  “Lord” or “Master”

Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?  And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?  And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.  2 Samuel 7:18-20

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

 

I have been given: All things pertaining to life

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.  2 Peter 1:3-4

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  Romans 8:32

“Think well, my heart, what ‘all things’ mean to you!  If you have Christ, then along with him, and included in him, you possess ‘all things’.  All spiritual blessings, rich and precious, are laid up for you in this divine storehouse, and God’s choicest and most excellent gifts are here waiting for your faith to claim them.  Rejoice, my soul, that Christ and ‘the things of Christ’ cannot be divided.  Pardon, peace sanctification, close communion with Jesus, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit – are not all these gathered together ‘with him’ as a cluster of ripe grapes on a choice vine?  Having him, you have all else.  There is not a need or desire of your inner life which cannot be triumphantly met by faith’s unwavering challenge, ‘How shall he not?’  Nor is there a necessity of your temporal state which cannot equally claim the blessing of possessing ‘all things’ in Christ.”  -Susannah Spurgeon, Free Grace and Dying Love
