As disciples of Christ we must share this Gospel Truth with everyone in our lives.
It will either be a testimony for them leading to Eternal Life with Christ or a testimony against them in The Judgment leading to Eternal Death in the Lake Of Fire. Act 4:12 Rev 20:12,15
Jesus is the Lord (deity).
God (deity) is Jesus.
God (deity) is Spirit, hence He is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit made Himself a physical body and we call Him Jesus Mat 1:18 Luk 1:35. It is through the body and soul of Jesus that the Holy Spirit expresses Himself in the Physical Realm.
There are not three. There is One and His name is Jesus the express image of the Holy Spirit Heb 1:3. → Do you know the name of the Father? → Do you know the name of the Holy Spirit? → Do you know the name of the Son?
There is One name of the One Creator and His name is Jesus. → It is in that name that we are saved. → It is in that name that we are healed. → It is in that name that all who reject Him will be judged.
Just as you are Spirit Soul And Body, so is our Lord in whose image we were created and by whose sacrifice we are redeemed. Gen 1:26
We are instructed to worship our Creator in Spirit and Truth. The implication is that we are not worshipping correctly unless we do so.
This makes it imperative that the understand what is meant by Spirit and Truth.
John received the revelation of Christ Jesus as the eternal Word of our Creator, that the Word and the Creator are One.
Jesus tells us that He and His Father are one. Since His Father is the Holy Spirit, He is telling us that He, Soul and Body, and His Holy Spirit constitute a single being.
We know that preincanate Jesus is the Creator and sustainer of the universe. Joh 1:3 Heb 1:3
So, the foundational premise of worshipping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth is acknowledgement that the One True and Living God of Deu 6:4 is the Lord Jesus Christ.
But we build on that foundation by fellowshipping in the Words that our Lord speaks and we fellowship with Him in His abiding Holy Spirit.
Our oneness with Christ is to be the centerpiece of our mind and heart. We must believe to the point that we know we are in Him and He is in us.
When we rest in the knowledge of Christ in us we enjoy the expectation of His glory. Such rest, such knowledge is not of the Physical Realm. It is heavenly, of the Spirit Realm.
If we abide in His rest we never leave the place of true worship. → We walk in the Spirit. → We live in the Spirit. → We fellowship in the Spirit.
It is our acceptance of the Truth that enables us to receive the Spirit and come into His presence from which we will never leave.
So, the Soul Of God existed in the beginning.
What does it mean by the Word was with God ? → God is a Spirit → A spirit is the qualitative aspect of a being. It represents the nature and value system of that being. → The spirit of a being is the essence of that being. → So, the Soul Of God was with the Spirit Of God in the beginning.
What does it mean by the Word was God ? → It means that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God constitute one divine being.
Joh 1:2 emphasizes the fact that the Soul Of God and the Spirit Of God existed in the beginning.
Joh 1:3 tells us that this God who is Soul and Spirit created all things.
Joh 1:10 tells us that Jesus made the world.
Joh 1:14 tells us that the Soul Of God, the Word, was made flesh and dwelt among us. Now we have the Body Of God. This is Jesus.
Heb 1:3 tells us that Jesus is the express image of God.
So, God is a single being who is Spirit Soul And Body just as man is who was created in His image Gen 1:26. → the Soul Of God, → the Spirit Of God and → the Body Of God constitute one God as is emphasized in Deu 6:4.
Absorb the Word and be absorbed by it, and then the Holy Spirit will manifest in and through you.
