With the emphasis in the Old
testament, as recorded in Deuteronomy 29: 29 that “the secret things belong to
the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children for ever,
that we might do the things that God commands.”
Therefore, dear readers, if you
approach God without bias or preconception, you will be a beneficiary of the
secret things of God which are mysteries.
Please enjoy as you read.
A.
Who Is God The Son?
The Bible
says:
In John1:1-2 “In
the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in
the beginning with God.”
In John 1:
10: “He (God) was in the world, and
the world was made by Him, and the world Knew Him not.”
In John 1: 14
“And the Word (God) was made flesh (Jesus Christ), and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld His glory as the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
In I Tim.
3:16 “And without controversy, great is
the mystery of godliness, GOD WAS
MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached
unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
B.
Who Is God The Spirit?
The Bible
says:
In John 14:
16 “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, hat he
may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither
knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
1)
Who Is Christ?
Ans: Christ means the anointed One, according to
the prophecy of Daniel in Ch. 9:24 “and to seal up the vision and prophecy and
to anoint the most holy.”
2)
Who Is The Anointed One?
Ans: The Most Holy.
3)
Who Is The Most Holy?
Ans: The Most Holy is God.
4)
Why Is Christ The Anointed One?
Ans: In Matt. 3:13-16, when Jesus came to
be baptized by John the Baptist, when He was baptized by him and the Holy Ghost
like a dove rested on Him, a voice came from heaven that ‘This is my beloved
Son in whom I am well pleased.’ This was where Christ was anointed; hence, the
most Holy that was anointed is Christ and
Christ is God.
Paul wrote in I Tim. 3:16 that “and
without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into
glory.”
This revelation Jesus made to the
woman by the well in John. Ch. 4:25-26 “The woman said, I know that messiah
cometh, which is called Christ, Jesus replied, I that speak unto thee am He.” The
Israelite believed that their Messiah is their God; this was why Christ was
crucified.
Then if Jesus is the anointed one, (anointed
one in Roman translation is Christ and Christ in Hebrew translation is Messiah).
This is the Most Holy or God anointed according to Dan. 9:24, then there is no
other God but Jesus Christ.
If CHRIST IS GOD, then GOD IS A
CHRISTIAN; there is no way you can separate Christianity from God.
Furthermore, the birth of Christ recorded
in Luke 1:35 which says “the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of
the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore, that Holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God” established the fact.
This was why Paul wrote to the
Colossians in chapter. 2:9 that “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of God
bodily,” meaning when we talk of complete God, it is found in Christ.
In Hebrew 2:11, the writer wrote “For
both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which
cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.”
He called them, ‘the Christians’ his brethren: he cannot be separated
from his brethren since the head cannot be parted from the body.
In Matt. 22: 42 – 45, Jesus asked
them saying “What think ye of Christ? Whose son is He?” They replied, the Son of David. He saith unto them, how then doth David in
spirit call him Lord, saying, the LORD said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then calls him Lord,
how is he his son? Though the Pharisee could not provide an answer, it was
provided in Romans 1:3 “concerning his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the
flesh,” that is the Son of David naturally.
In as much as you cannot separate
effect from the cause, ‘Christ’ is the cause, while ‘Christian’ is the effect
and as such Christ cannot be separated from Christianity.
In fact, GOD IS THE FIRST CHRISTIAN as he identified Himself with Christ at
his baptism. This is my beloved son in
whom I am well pleased, He confessed Christ and Christ called us his brethren.
If Christ is the head of the body which is Christian, then He is a
Christian.
Out of Christ, who is God, comes
forth Christianity and Christianity cannot be parted from God, this is why
Christianity is a person – Christ Jesus.
Therefore it is a VERY WRONG assertion
to say that GOD IS NOT A CHRISTIAN.
II Tim. 2:13 says “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful,
he cannot deny himself.” In human endeavour, you are the first asset; you
must believe in yourself before you can do anything substantial. God is the
first person to present Christ to the world to believe: in other words, what he
first did, he recommended to the world. If God asks you to do something, He
must have been doing that thing and if God says you should not do something you
will not see him do it. Hence, He is the
first Christian, before he then presented Jesus to the world. He cannot
deny himself, he remains faithful to himself.
In Acts 11:26 “the disciples were
called Christians first in Antioch.”
Acts 26:28 says Agrippa told Paul that, “almost thou persuade me to be a
Christian.” He understood that if he believed what Paul preached about Christ, he
would become a Christian. The Biblical
translation of Christian is ‘ADHERENT OF
CHRIST’. If Adherent of Christ is the meaning of Christian, then, God must be
the first Christian ‘first born over all creation’, according to Col. 1:15 and
He is the Head of the body ‘the Church’ and Christianity. Believing in the work
of grace instantly makes you a Christian – a member of the family of God, i.e.
you are adopted into God’s family. It is
blessed to be a Christian.
Other names of Christian, I Pet. 4:16
– ‘Christian’, Acts. 14:2 -
‘brethren’, Acts. 6:12 - ‘disciples’, Acts. 9:13 - ‘saints’,
Rom. 1:7 - ‘beloved of God’, Rom. 1:1, James 1:1, Jude 1:1, Rev. 1:1, - ‘servants of Christ’, II Pet. 1:1 – ‘apostles of Christ’, I Tim. 4:12
- ‘believers of Christ’, Acts.
20:28 - ‘church of God’, Acts. 9:14, Rom. 10:13 – ‘those that call on the name
of the Lord’, II Chronicles 7:14 ‘my people’, James 2:7 – ‘that worthy name’. In
the blessing the Lord commanded Moses to bless the children of Israel Num. 6:22-27 ‘the Lord bless thee and keep
thee, the Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee, the
Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace, and they shall put
my name upon the children of Israel and I will bless them.”
In Matt. 10:40 – ‘He that receiveth
you receiveth me and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me’, I
Cor. 11:3, ‘the head of Christ is
God’, Deut. 33:26 – ‘there is none like
unto the God of Jeshurun’, I Cor. 3:9 –
‘ Ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building’, II Cor. 5:20 – ‘ambassador
for Christ’.
