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
