Three Gods in One!

For Wednesday, September 4, 2024:

1 John 2:23 NLT: “Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”

God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is a package deal. Here the Bible says that if we deny the Son, we don’t know the Father. But through knowing the Son, Jesus, we also know the Father. Those who believe in God and believe Jesus is the Son of God are then filled with the Holy Spirit. We really can’t have one God without the others, because our God is a triune God – one God known to us in three coequal, coeternal divine persons.

The Commandments tell us, “I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other Gods…” So it’s important to know that these three forms of God are really just one God. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are always of one mind. If one speaks to you, you hear them all. If something you do would please God, He is pleased in all forms.

When someone says they believe in God but they don’t know Jesus or the Holy Spirit, I recall the words of Paul Harvey. They need to know the r-r-r-rest of the story! We need to tell them!
