I pray that all is not willful ignorance but a lack of understanding & lack of praying the truth of the word be revealed.
There is one God, ye do well to believe this, yet God is seen in many ,many attributes & manifestations of himself
He was there at creation, ALL OF HIM !
GOD IS THE WORD,JESUS IS THE WORD, THE SPIRIT IS THE WORD.
It is how we will be judged!
If your name has remained in the book of life to the end, after salvation, then Jesus will judge us by the word. Weighing our obedience, actions, faith and our love against the commands.
If your name is NOT in the book of life at the end........ it matters not how much it is SAID " I believe" .
You will stand before a faithful, righteous, just God at the great white throne, judged by the word heard and the rejection of the word that each heard and every time the Spirit brought conviction to any.
God has tried EVERY way possible to reach the creation he loves. He walked with the OT ppl and tried to lead them to the right way of living. He gave them the Law to see, he gave them a king when they chose to replace him. God is not a liar but still sees the Jewish ppl as his wife and he then sent them GRACE THROUGH HIS SON.
Jesus is & was always God. Born of the flesh by the Spirit, God presented another way for ppl to obey him in righteousness, BY HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. JESUS.
The Lamb of God is God and his only begotten Son, Jesus. Spotless without blemish before the foundation of the world.
In agreement together he would come down as the FINAL SACRIFICE to restore righteousness , love and obedience to the creation God loves.
Only this time it woul not just be to a certain ppls but to ALL mankind.
Jesus died once and by his resurrection is the possibility of mans redemption and ONLY BY HIM. He alone as GOD has the power to save. His blood is the covering for sins if we live in, by, of and with him until the end of either our life or his second coming.
I often wonder why ppl dont DENY THE SPIRIT IS GOD.
He is God, the advocate, comfoter, teacher & helper Jesus prayed and God the Father sent him back to us. His function is to help us stay in and understand the word, to bear his fruit of righteousness through us, lead men by conviction to repentance, and implant the hearing of the Word of God within us.
Study the word in openess, in self examination, in a contrite & broken heart, and God will NOT withhold the TRUTH from such.
Mercy & grace be applied to ALL !
