TRINITY
GOD
God is Trinity, the "Father", the "Son", and "the Holy Spirit. They co-exist, they are co-equal, and though their functions are different, yet they are One God and not three Gods. Jesus Christ is the "Son of God" and he is the creator. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the very God Himself, came to this world to redeem man kind from the bondage of sin. Jesus Christ, who had two natures, one of divine and another of human, during his ministry on this earth, was the incarnation of the very living God. Adam was created by God and had no human father, so also Jesus Christ, who was born of the Virgin Mary, had no human father. Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through the works of the Holy Spirit. John
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
"For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one". 1 John 5:7 THE SON OF GOD Colossians 1:15-16 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, and he is the creator of this universe and everything in it, and God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have jointly created man in their own image WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?
The writer of Hebrews says that
the Son is the exact
representation of God the Father and is the radiance of the God the Father. Who
is he that he is talking about? Yes! he is talking about our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ When Jesus was in this world he asked Peter to say who Jesus was. Peter rightly admitted that Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus told that it was not just on his own he admitted the fact, but the fact was revealed to him, by God the Father Himself. When the disciples of Jesus had asked Him, to show them the Father, Jesus wondered as to why they were asking such question. Jesus said, whoever has seen Jesus has seen God the Father because God the Father lives in God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Son Jesus Christ lives in God the Father. They both are One and the same. The Spirit of God proceeded from God the Father as promised by God the Son Jesus Christ , He is existent in the world now. He counsels, guides and convicts us of our sins. The Spirit of God, that is, Holy Spirit is equal to God the Father and God the Son Jesus Christ. Thus God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit are One and the Same and they are triune God. That is called Trinity. Who is Holy Spirit:
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Why should we worship God? We are the creation of God. Our bodies and our souls belong to God. We have no right on our bodies. Our bodies are temples of God. If we defile our bodies it is equivalent to defiling the temple of God inasmuch as God lives in our bodies. We are made to serve Him and worship Him. We are not called upon to question His wisdom or His deeds. It may appear to be justice to one and to the other injustice. Today, I heard a pathetic cry of a chick in the paws of flying eagle. Who did God do justice? - to the eagle or to the chick. Who should we sympathize with? Should we sympathize with the chick, it is tantamount to saying that God did injustice to eagle by not providing it its food. At the same time chick needs sympathy because it is harassed by the eagle, but then, how does eagle live? There is therefore, we can not judge God's actions. He is the one who created eagle and He is the one who created chick, too. He has to provide food for both. What appears prey in our sight, just as chick, is food for another, that is eagle in this case. There is no injustice done to any one. Important message:
