THE FATHER, The Son
John 6:46
"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
In the beginning God created heaven and earth . . . the presence of other persons was not reflected till we come to the creation of man
Gen 1:25 -26
And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
We see then that when God was to make us He had to reveal His personality that is, it was not just the will of God as the Father but involving the Son and the Holy Spirit.
It will remain a mystery to those who are yet to believe and be saved.
Look at the book of John
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Now on who the Father is
If you go through the old testament you see a lot of killings, wiping away of cities and nations with instant judgements as so on.
People at that time didn't know God, what they actually knew was the law and the ministry of angels.
The world was held in bondage of the original and first sin, that of Adam.
Genesis 2:17
"but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
Man before the physical revelation of Jesus Christ could never have know God as He is
1John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
THE FATHER IS LOVE
You can never know Him except He is revealed to you by the only one person who can do that . . . THE SON
John 1:18
No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
The disciples were rejected in a city and they wanted to react as in the time of the law, they wanted to call destruction on the city, but Jesus told them;
Luke 9:55
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
The Spirit of God is revealed to us by His Son and He reveals the Son to us.
Unless one receives Jesus as Lord and Saviour they can never claim to know God. That is why Jesus said:
John 16:28
"I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father."
Let us share the glory of God as we lead those who are yet to believe to the Son.
We will all stand before Him after this life. Those who believe and those who don't!
It is well with us.
Do have an awesome day.
God bless you.
