The Majesty of the Godhead
The Holy God of the Christian Faith is transcendent, almost incomprehensible, and truly majestic. Revealed in three persons, yet He is one God whom the Holy Scripture speaks of as the Godhead. The offices of each member of this Godhead are multiple because the totality of our God is reflected in multiple manifestations. At the same moment our God is knowable because He has revealed Himself to men from the very beginning of creation. The heart of God is to have fellowship with His earthly family. Jehovah God is the only God, and especially the only God that is knowable. If anything proves that our God is the one true God, it is His beautiful revelations of Himself to us.
Knowing Him is not on the cheap. He is not being revealed on the sides of buildings, in burritos, as a virgin mother, or in any of the esoteric reports that flood the world. All of that only serves to cheapen the very idea of our God and to reduce Him to the level of the “many gods” concept. Even music that purposes to “romance God” is nothing but voodoo religion invading the ranks of the faithful with deceiving emotions. God is knowable, but He has confined His revelations of Himself in three very narrow manifestations.
God is revealed in His infallible Word; God was manifest in the virgin birth of His Only Begotten Son, and God is made known by the supernatural gifts of His Holy Spirit. When you blend the three concepts of His revelations, you will have, as you grow in Him, perfect understanding of Him. Even the man that is a fool on the levels of human intellect can know God when he surrenders to Him. Isaiah the statesman prophet, said, “And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.” (Isaiah 35:8) You will never know Him looking through the prism of many books, but only when you look in the revelations He has prepared for you.
John, the Lord’s brother, made the greatest statement of God’s witness on earth revealed in the Bible. His words are simple and majestic at the same moment. “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:7-8) The revelations of God to the human family are limited to the work of the Holy Spirit, the incredible Word of God that John called the water or the well of salvation from which we draw out the crystal truths, and the sacrifice of blood that God’s only Son has offered. The intellectual world calls this narrow, and indeed it is “narrow” at the entrance; but it is “eternally broad” in its challenge to “ever learn and grow in His majestic fullness.”
The depth and breadth of these great revelations of God can never be fully grasped in this present limited world. Apostle Paul appeared to stretch his mind as he spoke of this great faith of the Christian experience. “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:17-20) If you start today in your search to know Him, you will soon discover such revelations and beauty that eclipses all of man’s greatest human discoveries. Yet your search will never end on this side of eternity. It all transcends this earthly life to finally discover the greatest revelations of all on the other side of Jordan.
The Great God – Father, Son, and Holy Ghost – wants to lead you into the great truths and the meaning of the Word. Baby Christians are like all babies, beautiful in their time, but grotesque in their longevity. Isaiah said, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” (Isaiah 28:9-10) The Christian life will become boring if you linger in the shadows. Go for the “gold and silver” not the “wood, hay and stubble” (1 Corinthians 3:12-13) of Christian living.
