In the Beginning...God
The bible opens with a statement of first truths, In the beginning God. The bible is the record of the revelation of God. Man cannot fully know God unless the Spirit of God reveals this truth. And man cannot receive revelation unless he pursues the Passsionate One. God promises to reveal Himself if we search for Him with all our heart. (Jeremiah 29:13) If our heart is desperate to know him, God will surely reveal Himself. In knowing Him, we must first be willing to acknowledge that we need Him. Revelation is formed in the light of humility, acknowledging God reflected in you. As we look into the many aspects of the Almighty, we open a world of inspiration and delight acknowledging the very presence of a majestic Creator desiring fellowship with mere man. He delights in His own, His people, called out according to His purpose. God, in return, dances over His own welcoming them to join Him as one.
Beginnings
There are two names used throughout the Old Testament depicting God. Elohim, meaning God and Jehovah, meaning Lord. El, in the word, Elohim, signifies strength as in the name El-Shaddai, meaning God Almighty. The use of Elohim pictures God as the Creator, rulership of man and nature. The use of Jehovah pictures God in light of His chosen people. The bible reveals God to us as the one and only God. There cannot be more than one God for eternity or infinity. Two such beings would limit and exclude each other discounting the possibility of a being called God. God makes Himself known, in the Holy scriptures as, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Let it be known that all three beings have seperate personalities, yet, known as the Three in One or Triune Godhead.
Beginnings
Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one God yet seperate in character.
The Father is honored in the scriptures as an authority figure. Jesus, Gods Son, referred
to the Father as an authority figure. Jesus behaved in a manner pleasing to the Father always acknowledging the Fathers will. (John 17) Throughout the gospels, we see the Son acknowledging the Fathers guidance. (John 10: 29, 30) As we come to know Jesus, we too, will know the character of the Father, for the Father and Son are as One. This characterization is a revelatory mystery.
