HE, "I AM"!

In order for God to become real to us, first, we have to hear the Truth, for How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? (Romans 10:14-15)

We can "hear" the Truth in many different ways, mainly by hearing the Word of God as recorded in the 66 books of the Bible. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,... (2 Timothy 3:16) And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:19-21)

However, God has put the knowledge of Himself in all of creation and every creature, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead,... (Romans 1:19-20) This is why everyone struggles with whether to believe in God or not, even if they choose to ...suppress the truth... (Romans 1:18) because, He has put eternity in their hearts,... (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

So, we have to hear the Truth and then secondly, we have to decide if we "...believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) Once we confirm our belief in God and His Word, we have to accept His "free gift" of salvation; For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. (Romans 5:7-10)

Finally, ...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek [non-Jew], for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. [Joel 2:32]” (Romans 10:9-13)

Now that we understand how we come into a personal relationship with God the Father and Creator of us all, let's try to understand the Godhead a little better based on what He says about Himself. The books of Isaiah and John are great to study to get a better understanding of the "Trinity" that we're introduced to in Genesis 1-2: God the Father, Lord God [the Word in flesh], and the Holy Spirit.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.[Genesis 2:4-7] ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. ... No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (John 1:1-18)

And John [the baptizer] bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:32-34) When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven [God the Father], saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22) The "Trinity", together clearly for all to witness!

God the Father remains in heaven, ...for in Him we live and move and have our being,... (Acts 17:28) If He were to move, all the worlds and universes would go into chaos. "Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." (Isaiah 40:21-22)

That's why God sent His Beloved Son, Lord God, Christ Jesus in a flesh body to dwell among us and become "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)  ...but now [God] commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31) “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice..." (Isaiah 42:1) 

Lord God prophesied of His coming through the prophet Isaiah, and why He was coming, hundreds of years before Christ Jesus' birth:

10 “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no savior.
12 I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.
13 Indeed before the day was, I am He;
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will reverse it?” (Isaiah 43:10-13)

That's why Christ Jesus could boldly declare, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58); because, it was Him, Lord God who had originally made the same declaration to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14)

‘I, the Lord, am the first; and with the last I am He.’” (Isaiah 41:4)
"Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Isaiah 44:8)
"...there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other;" (Isaiah 45:6)
"For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me," (Isaiah 46:9)
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. ... Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelations 22:13,20)
