Can anyone explain God? I
think not, for the single and best word that I believe
would have any explanation would be that God is Love in
its purest form. 1st. John 4:8 In the origin of the
earth the word was already there and the word was God
and is God. John 1:1-5 states that before the existence
of anything else existed, Christ was with God. Jesus the
Christ has always been alive and He is God. He created
all that there is. All things came into existence
through God. John 1:3. Read Genesis 1:25, we hear about
the triune God when He states let us make man in our
image. (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) This word used,
image or shape is (tselem) pronounced (tseh'-lem). In
Genesis 1:3 The word God is the plural of the word. This
again is a statement showing the Triune God. When Adam
was in the garden, God again said that man is becoming
like one of us. Genesis 3:22 How many examples would
anyone want to show that God is The Father, The Son and
the Holy Spirit all in one. The trinity is definitely
shown to have many different functions. God the Father
in Christianity is considered to be the first person of
the trinity. Jesus Christ being the only begotten Son of
God is considered to be the second person of the
trinity. The Holy Spirit is considered to be the third
person of the trinity. God the Father is the one who
controls everything. The Son Jesus is the redemption
that man can claim. No one can come to the Father except
through Jesus the Christ. John 14:6 The Son can do
nothing unless the Father tells him to do it. John
12:49. The Holy Spirit seems to be the one who does most
of the functions that take place in our lives. It was by
the way of the Holy Spirit that Mary was found to be
with child. Matthew 1:18
God does not approve of
anyone having idols, statues or any image that you
idolize. Leviticus 19:4 Men
put many gods before them they are often called, money,
sex, food, sports or other things of this world. I have
even heard from the pulpit encouragement to hurry home
so you won't miss some ball game. From the pulpit the
emphasis should be that we
must devour the word of God
first. It is foolishness to let anything take our focus
from our God. We should have time for other things, but
they should not dominate our thoughts. God is so
compassionate about us that He looks the other way when
we sin because all he sees is the blood of His only
begotten Son. His blood that covers our sins, all of
the past sins along with the sins we may commit in the
future. We are told that even if we would speak against
Jesus we can be forgiven, but if we would speak against
the Holy Spirit we will not be forgiven. This is the
only unforgiveable sin, because all sins may be forgiven
except one and that would be against the Holy Spirit. If
we are at a loss for words, the Holy Spirit will give
them to us. Mark 12:32
When one is filled with the
Holy Spirit marvelous things can be done, things that we
could not do otherwise. The Holy Spirit reveals to us
things, when we are in need for comfort, that will help.
The Holy Spirit took the form of a dove when He came
upon Jesus. Mark 1:10 The Holy Spirit spoke through
Zacharias Luke 67-68 - He spoke to Simeon and reveled to
him that he would not see death before the death of his
body before he had seen the Lord. Luke 2:25-26
We may want to read in
Genesis where God's word tells us that God's Spirit has
life and it is in Jesus, the same Spirit that has set
you free from the law and the sin and of death. Genesis
1:2 -- 7:22 -- it speaks of the Spirit of God moving
over the water. This is the same Spirit that has set us
free from the law and from death. Romans 8:2 The word
Spirit is translated from (nuwach) pronounced (roo'-akh)
which would be wind or breath. God's mouth used in 2nd
Thessalonians 2:8 when the lawless one appears the Lord
will slay him with the breath of his mouth. He is the
light of the world. He has brought into view the truths
of life to all through Jesus. His light shines with
neither flicker nor dimming. Darkness cannot extinguish
His light. Genesis 1:26 tells us: God said, let us make
man in our own image, conforming to our likeness.
Furthermore, give man the sphere of influence over the
fish of the sea and the fowl of the air, over all the
cattle and all the things that creep on the earth.
Here it is quite clear that
the existence of the trinity was in existence from the
beginning, the earth and everything in it. God used the
words, let us and in our. This is evidence that God was
speaking to the other parts of the Spirit. In the
beginning, of what we call time, God designed and
created the universe, heavens, and the earth, and
everything in it, on it and around it. We can see that
after the earth and all in it, or over it, was created
before, God created man. Man cannot claim, in any way,
that man had any part of creation because man was last
to be created. The same day that man was made, so were
all the beasts of this world made. God wanted man to
have his own free will to decide right from wrong.
Unlike God, the things man does are caused from outside
forces. Everything God does comes from Him and they are
of no other origin.
Knowing all of this can we
see the need to know God in a personal way? Colossians
2:7-12 speaks to us about us letting our roots grow deep
in His word to feed on Him, growing strong and vehement
in the truth. Let our lives burst with joy and
thanksgiving for everything He has done and is still
doing in us, and for us. Do not let out side forces from
others corrupt our faith with their worldly logic. Their
shallow answers that are compiled from the thoughts of
mere men who doubt their creator and are coached by
Satan, the father of lies.
Instead seek the Holy word
of God and what He has given the Son to say. In Jesus
there was contained all of God in one human body.
Therefore we have everything when we have God. We are
filled with God when we have Jesus in our hearts. This
is how we are joined with God. He is the ultimate Ruler
and authority over all. When we came to Jesus we were
set free from evil we no longer had to sin. We were
transformed from our desires to sin, not by physical
transformation, but from a spiritual circumcision and
baptism of our very being. Our soul has been cleansed
and freed from death. Through baptism our old evil
nature died, and rose again with Jesus to our new
glorious future in Christ Jesus. God saw to it what we
needed to know when we were sinning. This was by giving
us the Holy Spirit to dwell within us until the day of
Christ. God used the law to prepare the way for Jesus
to be ushered in.
We find in Matthew 5:17-19
where Jesus said not to be confused as to why He has
come, not to abolish the Laws of Moses but to free us
from the Law. If this had not be so, no one could reach
the gates of heaven, because it would be impossible to
keep all of the law. Read Romans 13:1 You have
never broken a speeding law, right? Have you ever failed
to be under the authority of the living God? If anyone
should break the smallest of His commands, and teaches
others to also do so, he shall be the least in the
Kingdom of Heaven. By example you teach others. We
should take note here that when Jesus said until the
purpose of the law has been accomplished they are all
still in effect. Galatians 3:12-13 says to us that faith
is much different than the law. It says that man
receives salvation by our obeying each and every law,
without one iota of transgressing on any law. Christ has
come to us that we may be released from the impossible
task of keeping the law. God allowed man to crucify Him
on a wooden pole, taking with Him all the sins of man to
die with Him. The curses that would be laid on man have
been His to bear for us. The Jewish people believed
that, crucifixion symbolize the most revolting form of
death there was, the corps was not to hang there all day
but must be removed and burred the same day. Deuteronomy
21:23
It is sometimes hard
for us to comprehend the powers of almighty God. He
knows all and hears all. He always is attuned to our
thoughts and needs. He knows even our thoughts
before we think them. No matter what we think or do or
have done in the past He still loves us. When asked how
much does God love us a friend reached without stretched
arms and hands saying He loves us this much. This was
intended to demonstration when Jesus was on the cross
His arms where stretched out. God gave of His only
begotten Son Jesus who was stretched on the cross. This
He did in order that we may find salvation in Him. Jesus
paid the price for our sins. This took place on a
mountain called Golgotha, which means the skull. See
Mark 15:22. Look in John 19:30 where we are told that
after He gave up the Spirit the Lord Jesus went to be
with the Father to be at the right side of God the
Father. The solders gambled to see who would get what
garments that our Savior had or wore.
1st Corinthians
12:4-10 confronts us with the fact that we all have been
given special abilities. The Holy Spirit is the source
of these gifts we have been given. When we use them
properly, these gifts are used to glorify God. If we do
not use them we will lose them. Titus 3:3-5 reminds us
that once we were foolish and disobedient. We were
misguided by others, we became slaves to the trappings
of the world with their alluring call to sin. We became
slaves of the evil ways of the world and sank deeper
into sin. We became consumed with envy and resentment
and hatred for others and they too hated us. Then when
we embraced our Lord and Savior asking Him to take
control of us, our lives changed because we no longer
sought the things of the world. We began to look at life
differently. We began to find life with love, compassion
and kindness. We find that we are in a much better place
than we had before, both Spiritually and physically, for
if we are right with God we seem to find the entire
peace that alludes so many. Jesus He freed us from the
fate that was waiting for us of spiritual and
physical death. God did not arrange for us to be rescued
from certain death because we were good, it was because
of God’s kindness and the compassion He has for us. He
washed away all of our sins and then gave us the Holy
Spirit to dwell within us until the day of His coming
for His church. Hebrews 10: 12-14 addresses the fact
that Jesus gave himself freely to God for all of our
sins as a sacrifice for all of time. Then He rose to sit
at the right hand of God to await His enemies to be laid
at His feet. By that one offering that Christ gave of
Himself, made us perfect in the sight of God the Father
for all God sees is the blood of His Son Jesus the
sacrificial Lamb of God making us all holy in His
sight. Looking forward to seeing you in the Kingdom of
Heaven with our Father.
No matter what sin we have
committed God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse us from
any sin that we have committed except the sin of denying
the Holy Spirit. The existence of the triune God cannot
be ignored. If we are truly regretful of any sin(s) we
have, then the God who created us will no longer be able
to see the sin for it is concealed by the blood of
Jesus. All sins will be forgiven except speaking
against the Holy Spirit See Matthew 12:31-32
