III. Who is GOD?

       The Limitless Magnificence of GOD is beyond man's ability to fully comprehend: "0 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!" Rom.11:33. What can be understood of Who GOD Is, is revealed in the Bible

 

1. Who is GOD?

Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, _____ ____________ ___ ____ _____ ___ ____ ________, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding.

       The leading attribute of GOD is His Creatorship of all that exists. Over 800 verses of the Bible testify of this fact.

2. Is there more than one GOD as Genesis 1:26 implies, "Let us make man in Our Image?"

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning ______ created the heaven and the earth.

       The word for GOD used in the Hebrew text is Elohiym, and is in the plural tense, meaning more than one. Being used 2,340 times in the Old Testament, it is evident that the unity of GOD'S work of salvation for man demanded the delegation of authority for different areas of the work: Each being dependent on One Another to achieve success in His objective of delivering man from the prison of sin and death. The New Testament describes in very precise terms the Three-Person GOD.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the_________ and of the _____, and of the ______ _________.

       GOD comprises Three Beings; All of Eternal Origin; Each being Equal, but with distinct roles of ministry to His Creation. As we reviewed, GOD the Father is Omniscient (with unlimited knowledge). GOD the Son (Jesus Christ) is Omnipotent (with unlimited power). And the Holy Spirit is Omnipresent (with unlimited presence). But now, One has emptied Himself of all He once was, and has become as one of His created beings, a man, that through the Immeasurable Sacrifice of His own life He might ransom His children from the condemnation of death brought about through sin. He accomplished this by His conquering sin’s dominion over their lives with the promise of restoring them to His original purpose: to live forever with universal peace and joy.

3. What is the leading attribute of GOD?

Genesis 1: 1, In the beginning ______ ___________ _____ _____________ ____ _____ ____________.

Isaiah 45:18, For thus saith the LORD that ___________ the heavens; GOD Himself that ____________ the earth and made it; He hath _______________ it, He created it _____ _____ __________, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

4. What is the leading attribute of GOD'S character?

1. John 4:16, And we have known and believed the love that GOD hath to us. _____ ___ ________; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in GOD, and GOD in him.

       The Greek word for love is agape. It is defined as unlimited, unconditional love, not limited, self-serving love. The sublime expression of GOD’S perfect benevolence is the sole motive for His creating mankind. Love that is expressed by serving others is the Bible's definition of true love; all other descriptions have been proven mischievous, being limited, selfish, and ultimately failing in nature.

5. How has GOD demonstrated His love toward man?

Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no GOD else beside Me; a just GOD and ____ _____________; there is none beside Me.

Matthew 1:23, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, ______ ________ _____.

Galatians 4:4,5, But when the fullness of the time was come, _____ _______ ________ _____ _____, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

       From the beginning, the Human Race chose a collision course with death through the destructive use of GOD’S gift of a freewill. Today, the unwise decisions in religion, science, business, government and law are leading mankind to the threshold of extinction. And this destination of death resulted from the very moment the decision was made to overrule GOD'S Commandments securing the preservation of life. In effect, man willfully stepped outside of GOD'S safe-haven of subservient love and into the battle-ground of self-destructive greed. The whole earth is now subject to the destiny of ruin due to man’s invitation for sin to take dominion of Earth. The moral of the story is simply this: to choose a course allowing the free use of greed guarantees an assault on the well-being of life. And yet, our mutual safety can only exist by the exercise of subservient love, and this love is found only through obedience to the Sacred Law of GOD, the Ten Commandments. Without the Ten Commandments there can be no standard to separate the righteous from the unrighteous. Under the umbrella of GOD'S Eternal Law lies the only true expression of love; for GOD gave honor to His own Law and became a man, taking man's condemnation of death upon Himself. GOD did not step outside of His Law to save man. And through His Divinity united with humanity He conquered the grip of death, smashing the shackles of sin’s condemnation. This gives Jesus Christ the legal right to resurrect His children held in the bonds of death, thus fulfilling the magnificent prophecy defining Him as "Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace," and "the Saviour" of man.

       How can this be? Death has one purpose and one purpose alone: to be the vault to hold sin: to hold in the void of non-existence every influence that threatens the security of life. This is why the Bible says, "the soul that sinneth it shall die," for "the wages of sin is death." Eze.18:4; Rom.6:23. What is sin? "Sin is the transgression of the law." I Jn.3:4. When Jesus Christ was forced into the grave at the hands of lawless men, "the Christ of God," having never united His will with sin, either by thought or deed, could not be held by death: it had to set Him free, for death can only hold sin of which Christ had none! And this now includes you and me. How can this be? Only the Father of Adam could redeem the children of Adam. Christ is the Very Source of man’s existence. And because He is the "Everlasting Father," and "the last Adam," man’s entire history of sin has been removed and replaced with the sinless history of Christ. His history is now our history, His resurrection is our resurrection, His eternal life our eternal life. This is the Gospel. And we are called to believe what GOD has done for every man through the Gift of GOD in Christ. This alone explains why the whole human race is to be raised from the grave: to stand before GOD in the end of time.

       GOD offers to every man, woman, and child, this freedom from sin’s condemnation (its death sentence), its power (self-destructive nature), and its very presence (the temptations of devils whispered into the minds of men leading them to commit evil). The deliverance of GOD in Christ is offered to all men who will exercise their freedom of choice and believe in His Word to accomplish what He has said He will do, which includes the gift of His power "to walk even as he walked."

6. How can we be sure that Jesus Christ is our Creator?

Colossians 1:16,17 For ____ _____ were ____ _________ _________, that are ____ ___________, and that are ____ _________, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created ____ _____, and _____ _____: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

John 1: 1-3,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and _____ ________ ______ ______. The same was in the beginning with GOD. _____ _________ were _______ ____ ______; and without Him was not anything made that was made...(v.14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

7. Was Jesus involved in man's salvation, dwelling among us before He became a man?

Exodus 25:1, 8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying...(v.8) And let them make Me a sanctuary; _______ ___ ______ ________ ________ _______.

Daniel 3:24,25,28 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, 0 king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like _____ ______ ____ _______?

8. What role did Jesus have in earth's history before He became a man?

Exodus 3:14, And GOD said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ___ _____ hath sent me unto you.

John 8:58, Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, ___ _____.

       From the beginning of time, man's fellowship with GOD has been through Jesus Christ. It was Christ who spoke face to face with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It was Christ who spoke to Noah of the world's mutiny against His Laws of Love. It was Christ who spoke with Moses, sending him to deliver the Hebrews from slavery; "And he gave unto Moses…upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony [the Ten Commandments], tables of stone, written with the finger of God." It was Christ who stood before Joshua as "Captain of the host of the LORD." It was Christ who spoke with all the prophets of GOD. And it was Christ, who sat on "the mercy seat" in the temple of GOD. Our Father in Heaven has ordained His Son to oversee the deliverance of human civilization from Satan’s conquest of universal tyranny and destruction.

Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and provoke him not; for he will not ___________ ______ ________________: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

9. Was Jesus Christ given authority to pardon the transgressions of men who violated GOD'S Holy Law?

Matthew 9:6,7 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to ___________ ________, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. And he arose, and departed to his house.

       Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ has ever been equal with His Father "I and my Father are One." Jn.10:30. (see also Phil.2:6) And yet, Jesus has ever been subservient to His Father (Jn.14:31).

10. What is Jesus Christ's heavenly name?

Daniel 12:1, 2 And at that time shall _____________ stand up, _____ _________ _________ which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting contempt.

       The New Testament concurs with the passage of Daniel.

John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when _____ _______ _______ _______ _____ ________ ____ _____ _____ ____ _____: and they that hear shall live.

I Thessalonians 4:16 For the LORD Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with _____ __________ ____ ____ _______________, and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

       In combining the information from these two verses, we learn, in unmistakable terms, that the voice of Jesus Christ raises the dead to life; and likewise the voice of the Archangel raises the dead to life; therefore Jesus Christ and the Archangel are One and the Same. Now we shall confirm the name of the Archangel.

Jude 9 Yet __________________ when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The LORD rebuke thee.

       According to Scripture there is only one Archangel. Michael translates, who is like GOD? Archangel translates, Chief or Commander of angels. The term is singular: there can't be more than one Chief of angels.

11. How does GOD lead people into a saving relationship with Himself?

Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD _____ _____ _________ __________ ______ to profit, _______ ________ _____ by the way that thou shouldest go.

Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by _____ ___________ saith the LORD of hosts.

       It is by the Holy Spirit's presence and influence in our world that continued demonstrations of care and decency are carried forth today. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17.

12. What does the Bible teach concerning the characteristics of the Holy Spirit?

Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit __________ unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. [He speaks.]

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name [Christ], He shall ________ _____ _____ _________, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. [He teaches.]

CommandmentKeepersIcon.jpg

       Commandment Keepers invites every Christian to join the closing work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish twelve member groups within your respective country, heralding the titles: Commandment Keepers Kenyan Assembly, British Assemby, Brazilian Assembly, etc.  As the Bible teaches, the redeemed of earth will come from "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." Rev.14:6. And all will have stood faithful to Christ's Words, "But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt.19:17.
       To meet the specific cultural needs of the different peoples of the world, a custom tailored witness is vital for successful evangelism.  While the message of Salvation through the Creator/Christ is universal in its scope, people's cultural affections vary greatly from land to land.  What can bring tears of joy to one group can actually harden the hearts of another.
       You will receive a free booklet containing all the materials needed to succeed in this invaluable type of ministry.
       Two reasons for the need of small church companies at this time in history:
  1. There are six branch ministries, which cover all areas of the closing gospel work, providing each member with an invaluable task.  Teamed up in pairs for each of the branch ministries, none will sit on the sidelines, feeling unuseful, and where each have equal value to the success of the ministry's work. 
  2. Economic streamlining has become an essential factor in the closing work.  As America and other countries proceed in their place in Bible prophecy a structure of ministry must be in place to carry out the Savior's closing work on the minds and hearts of the people just at the time it is needed the most.  
       This efficient, low cost approach to the closing work will be lavished with GOD'S blessing.  Each of these small church companies will be given an eloquent, persuasive testimony by GOD: to share in the most priveleged work on Earth: enlightening the world with His Glory: His redeeming love found in the "truth as it is in Jesus:" as Creator of heaven and earth; what He has done: as bearing the punishment for the sins of men; and what He is doing: interceding on behalf of His faithful children who are continously accused of the devil; and what He will do: deliver His faithful children when He comes again. 
       Through His Presence, Guidance and Intervention, the faith of Bible literate and obedient Christians will swell to a lofty summit, preparing them for the coming of the LORD.  
       Lastly, no tithe is required except to budget your ministry's needs.
