King James Version
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
How much do you know about GOD?
Do you believe in Him at all?
I believe in GOD.
I'm not Catholic now, but I'm grateful for what they taught me.
Without which, I'd have no idea Who GOD is at all.
It has been my spiritual foundation.
The nuns taught us about GOD.
That there's the "Holy Trinity":
GOD the Father,
GOD the Son, and
GOD the Holy Spirit.
What Christians also call the "TRIUNE GOD" or "GODHEAD".
"Triune" because GOD has THREE persons.
I didn't ask questions then, because we all took it for granted.
It was only when GOD made me born again in 2019 that things became clear.
For He led me to JESUS.
He made me search Scripture.
He sent His SPIRIT to make Scripture clear for me.
And how crystal clear His WORD became!
It has since become my foundation for all our SPIRIT-led blogs.
Now, I'm able to piece the "puzzle" together.
Not that it was vague, just not clearly explained by others.
It takes anointing from the SPIRIT, that we may understand.
Bear note that even a child could understand these.
My childlike heart always sought simplicity.
And in JESUS is simplicity.
2 Corinthians 11:3
King James Version
3 But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Now, here's what I've come to know.
Through guidance from SPIRIT.
Starting with THREE basic things:
GOD, the Father, created everything.
Genesis 1:1
King James Version
1 In the beginning
God created the heaven
and the earth.
GOD the Son, JESUS, was sent by the Father.
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT, was sent by JESUS.
John 16:7
King James Version
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;
It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
This we know to be GOD's love, mercy, and compassion.
That He did not leave us orphaned, when His Son, JESUS, had to go back to Him.
They left us with Their SPIRIT, for these reasons which JESUS enumerated:
John 16:8-11
King James Version
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because
the prince of this world is judged.
John 16:13
King James Version
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:14-15
King James Version
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
You will also want to know something.
That we were created in the TRIUNE GOD's image, and likeness:
Genesis 1:26-27
King James Version
26 And God said,
Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
The whole objective of this exercise?
That we may know GOD's LOVE for us.
There was no gap in His loving, giving, and saving.
There was a beautiful continuity to GOD's GLORY.
He always sent Himself, in another Person.
That all of us may be saved.
Saved from what?
Saved from sin.
Saved from Satan.
Saved from self.
How did I come to know all these things?
By being born again.
By being taught by SPIRIT.
By loving GOD with all my heart.
By seeking ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
By praying to JESUS, each time I had a question.
By listening to His SPIRIT, for answers.
By searching Scripture all the time.
By writing about GOD all the time.
By wanting to share with you my many discoveries.
By being grateful for everything.
By being true to GOD.
Jeremiah 29:13
King James Version
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me
with all your heart.
2 Timothy 2:15
King James Version
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
Hebrews 11:6
King James Version
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him.
The Bible has 66 books.
I need all the help I can get.
SPIRIT does that.
