Stewards of The Mysteries of God
The Godhead By Paul B Thomas
Topic: The Godhead Scripture Reading: (Ephesians 1:17)
Purpose: Discover the One true Deity Jesus Christ
1.IN HIM DWELLS THE GODHEAD (Col 1;9)
In Jesus dwells all of deity! Is Jesus in the Godhead or is the Godhead in Jesus? Paul said in Colossians. IN HIM (Jesus) dwells the fulness of the Godhead., yes the Godhead is in him. Now this is the answer to those who want a clear answer to the question of explaining the trinity. The Godhead is found in a body, the body oif the Godhead is found in Jesus, he embodies the Godhead.
2.CREATION REVEALS THE GODHEAD
Think of this, man explains God, because man was created in Gods image. I am a person, one person, I am A SPIRIT being in a body, A SON who became a FATHER. If i can become a father then surely God the FATHER of us all can become a son, without ceasing to be Spirit (John 4;24).
3.THE CREATOR REVEALS THE GODHEAD
He did, that’s why Jesus said He who has seen me has seen the FATHER. (John 14:9). He (the FATHER dwells in me. ( ) Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me (John 14;11) Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I’m telling you doesn’t come from me. The Father, who lives in me, does what he wants. (GW. God’s word translation). When Jesus spoke God spoke. for in him dwells the fulness of God incarnate. God in a body. Emmanuel ‘God’ with us.
4.THE NEW CREATION REVEALS THE GODHEAD
In him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28) Christ in us the hope of glory (Col 1:27) Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. (John 14;23).
5, KINGS AND JUDGES REVEAL THE ONE TRUE GOD
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (Psalm 100;3),
6. THE PROPHETS REVEAL THE ONE TRUE GOD
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments. (Deut 7;9).
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (Deut 6;4).
7.THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS REVEAL THE ONE TRUE GOD
To The wise God our Saviour (Jude25)You alone, O LORD, are God (Isaiah 35:20)
Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name (Deuteronomy 6:13).
8. GOD REVEALS HIMSELF AS ONE
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. (Isaiah 43:10),
See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand (Deut 32;39).
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, (Isaiah 46:9).
9. ALL TRUE BELIVERS TODAY FDELCARE GOD IS ONE
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (Phillipians 2;10).
if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved. (Romans 10:9,10).
NOTES:
When we talk of the only true God or the only wise God, we note that the word ONLY Greek Strongs #3441 ‘Monos’ sole or single by implication mere: alone, alone, by themselves. Since GOD alone is God then he alone is the creator, Genesis tells us, The Lord God took the rib out of the mana and made the woman.. made HE (or he alone made..) the woman (Genesis 3:21). The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils (Genesis 2;7) so contrary to mANY THAT TELLS US the God created Jesus spoke and the Holy Ghost breathed I want to suggest as scripture instructs that it was the LORD gOD who created breathed and formed man all alone all by himself. This is conformed by the apostle Paul in Ephesians tells us.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16.For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18.And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence. 18.For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, 20.and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross. (Ephesians 1;15-19).
All the fulness means he is fully the Son fully the Father and Fully the Spirit allthe gulnes of the Godhead dwells in him. Jesus is our creator, Jesus is God!
Jesus, The First and the Last.
I am the first and I am the last, and apart from me there is no God (Isaiah 44:6). I am, not ‘we are’ but ‘I’ am, he did not say he was the second, some say he was the second person, he said ‘I am the first…and the last. He also said ‘I am the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega’ (Revelation 1:8 Revelation 21:6 and) implying that there is nothing in between there is no interim deity, there’s no one in the middle to stand in the gap, He’s the first true GOD and the last God, which means he’s the only ‘true’ God. He’s the First Saviour and the ‘only God and Saviour,’ (Jude 1:25) which mean he’s is both ‘our Great God and Saviour’ ( Titus 2:13). See both his title and his office is everlasting. Since he is the only God and Saviour then he is the ‘everlasting father’ (Isaiah 9:6). You can’t be the only God and not be everlasting, you can’t be the only Father and not be Eternal! (Jude 25).
Questions to Consider: 1.When Did the Trinity doctrine appear and by whom? 2. Is the Word Trinity used in scripture? 3. What is the Godhead? 4 What does scripture tell us about the Godhead. 5. For there to be a Godhead there must be one who is God who is this one?
