Christianity in Alphabetic Form
There is:
- no agape without Abba;
- no baptism without belief;
- no confession without Christ;
- no disciples without devotion
- no eternity without El Shaddai
- no forgiveness without faith;
- no good news without grace;
- no Heaven without humility;
- no Incarnation without Immanuel;
- no justification without Jesus;
- no kingdom without a King;
- no Lord without law;
- no Messiah without martyrdom;
- no Nativity without Nation of Israel;
- no obedience without obeisance;
- no Pentecost without the Paraclete;
- no repentance without righteousness;
- no salvation without submission;
- no Transfiguration of Christ without Temptation of Christ;
- no victory without a Victor;
- no worship without worthiness;
- no you without Yahweh.
Consider the above my attempt to follow the example of “The Alphabetic Verses” of the Old Testament that were designed explicitly upon the order of the Hebrew alphabet. These include several Psalms, most of Lamentations, and the last twenty-two verses of Proverbs (i.e., the section on the Worthy Woman). The most widely known and complete example is Psalm 119.
