Belongs to God

God created all things and everything belongs to God.

 

God created all things and everything belongs to God: Everything on this earth, everything in the heavens, everything in this existence and in the next existence beyond, everything belongs to God; including us human beings. We have only been allowed to become stewards on this earth, out of the grace of God and by His leave. We are nothing without Him and can do nothing without His aid and favor: Jewish symbols star-8pix JUDAISM: Genesis: 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Genesis: 9:3 “Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.” Enoch: (Apocrypha) “And they shall all belong to God,” and, Deuteronomy: 29:29 “The secret things belong unto The LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever that we may do all the words of this law.” 1 Chronicles: “For all things come of Thee, and of Thine Own.” the cross-5pix CHRISTIANITY: 1 Corinthians: 6:19 “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? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price; therefore  glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God‘s.” 1 Corinthians: 3:9 “For we are labourers together with God; ye are God‘s husbandry, ye are God‘s building.” Everything in existence, as I said, belongs to God and He is only letting us use the things of this world for our benefit: Jewish symbols star-8pix JUDAISM: Genesis: 1:28 “And God blessed them (man), and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” 1:29 “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” 1:30 “And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” (King James Bible) Islamic symbol-5pix ISLAM: 13. “He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect.” (The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 45) The shrine10 pix BABI RELIGION: “All things have been created for your sakes, and for the sake of naught else hath your creation been ordained.” (The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 161)

Everything in creation, everything in this universe belongs unto God, The Creator, including us. We are not our own, if you really think about it. We didn’t create ourselves, we were created: the cross-5pix 1 Corinthians: 6:19 “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, ye are not your own? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price.” Jewish symbols star-8pix Enoch: “And they shall all belong to God,” Islamic symbol-5pix 156. “To Allah (God) we belong, and to Him is our return.” (The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah 2) Ahura Mazda symbol-8pix “The omniscient omnipotent, and all-owning (all possessing) Creator Ohrmazd Himself; (Ahura Mazda).” (Denkard) Hindu symbol 5-pix “What is made is Mine!, 7. “Whatever (are your) names, We own you.” (Bhagavad Gita, chapter 9 and Vedas, Atharva Veda) Dharma wheel Buddhist symbols-5pix “He (man) does not even own himself.” (Buddhist, Dhammapada) Mandaean symbol1 “Thou didst hold in Thy grasp all of the worlds and all the generations (of creatures).” All of creation belongs unto Him, (The One First Life).
