THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4: 4-6  

FRIDAY MAY 26th 

Key Verse: 1 John 5: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
There are many confusions, misconceptions, and errors circulating in Christendom concerning the idea of the divine Trinity in the Bible. The doctrine of the Trinity of the Godhead is a mystery. The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, but we have a concept of it. The LORD our God is one God in three persons and three persons in one God. The three Persons are distinct or separate but are all equal and of the same essence and nature. (Deut. 6:4-5, Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord…). In the basic description of Him: God is Spirit, Light, Love, and a consuming Fire. His essential attributes:  God is Eternal, Immutable, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Among His moral attributes are perfect holiness, righteousness, love, and faithfulness. Like in the Godhead, man also exists in three components: spirit, soul, and body.
The Father is God, the Creator; The Son Jesus is God, the Creator; The Holy Spirit is God, the Creator. Some believe that Jesus is the Father and also the Holy Spirit. This is a misconception as it would make only one person and not three. Some also say that, the Father is the Creator of Jesus because He sent Jesus to the world. This is also false, as Jesus is the Creator Himself. Genesis 1:26, let us make man in our image.’ Some also say that the Holy Spirit is not a personality but a force. This is false, as it relegates Him to not being a living Being. John 14: 16-17, Jesus said, I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.
The Godhead is perfect in power, love, and unity, as we see they are equally involved in the conversion of the soul. That is why we use the method of baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). There are three which bear record in heaven; The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one. 1 John 5:7. That they may be one, even as we are one.

Thought for the day: Be perfect even as our heavenly Father is perfect

Song for the day: We welcome the Father, we welcome the Son …

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 17-19; John 10:1-21

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
