The Vitamin- September 18th

Deuteronomy 6:4 NIV
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

Who is God? I’ll give you the short answer. God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How do we know? Because the Bible tells us to and the Bible is God’s revelation to His people. How can be God be one if He’s Father, Son and Spirit? That I can’t tell you. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Jesus instructs us to ‘Baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19) He says ‘name’, not ‘names’.

I look at it this way. If God is really God, then He ought to be above and beyond my comprehension. If I could dissect Him, figure Him out and put Him back together then He wouldn’t be much of a God, he’d be like a frog on a pin board. Don’t expect to grasp it, believe it. God is who He says He is and He is perfectly equipped to meet our needs. Our greatest need has been met by the Father, who sent His Son to die in our place. The Holy Spirit then gives us faith to trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection. We don’t have to ‘get it’ (God’s identity) But we do ‘get it’ (His salvation)

Thanks be to God!
