"Creation"

Jn.1:1- In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God.Jn.1:2-The same was in the beginning with God. Jn.1:3-All things were made by Him:and without Him was not anything made that was made.

Col.1:16-17-For by him were all things created,that are in heaven, and that are in earth,visible and invisible,whether they be thrones, or dominions,or principalities,or powers-all things were created by Him,and for Him; Col.1:17-And He is before all things,and by Him all things consist.

The Holy Spirit in the creation: Gen.1:2-And the earth was without form,and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

In the progress of revelation the one true God appears clearly in the N.T. as existing in three divine Persons: named here in Mt.28:19 as "the Father,"and "the Son,"and "the Holy Spirit."

(1) Each of these divine Persons possesses His own personal characteristics and is clearly distinguished from the other Persons (Jn.14:16-17,26;Jn.15:26; Jn.16:7-15).Yet the three Persons are equal in being, power,and glory:each being called "God"(Jn.6:27;Heb.1:8;Acts 5:3-4); each possessing all the divine attributes(Jas.1:17;Heb.13:8.9);each performing divine works (Jn.5:21;Rom.8:11);and each receiving divine honors(Jn.5:23;2Cor.13:14).

(2) With reference to the order of their activities,the Father is first,the Son is second,and the Holy Spirit is third; the general formula being as follows: of the Father(1Cor.8:6),through the Son(Jn.3:17),by the Holy Spirit(Eph.2:18). Even so,however,no one of the Persons acts independently of the other Persons; but there is always mutual concurrence,as our Lord said,"My Father worketh hitherto,and I work"(Jn.5:17);and,"The Son can do nothing of Himself"(Jn.5:19);and again,"I and my Father are one"Jn.10:28-30).

(3) In the N.T. revelation of God as a tri-personal being,there is no retreat from the stern monotheism of the O.T.(cp.Dt6:4-5 with Mk.12:29-30 and Rom.3:30).The three divine Persons are one God,not three gods.It was necessary in the O.T. to emphasize first the divine unity in order to guard polytheistic tendencies.But even in the O.T.,read in light of the N.T.,a plurality of Persons appears within the one true God (cp.Gen.1:26;Isa.6:8;Isa.48:12 with Isa.48:16).

(4) The Trinity of God is confessedly a great mystery,something wholly beyond the possibility of complete explanation.But we can guard against error by holding fast to the facts of divine revelation:that(1) with respect to His being or essence,God is one;(2) with respect to His Personality,God is three;and(3) we must neither divide the essence,nor confuse the Persons.Yet,in spite of its mystery,the doctrine of the divine Trinity has always proved to be rich in spiritual and practical values.

(5) The importance attached to the divine Trinity,in N.T. revelation,appears in the fact that the doctrine is firmly embedded in two formulas which are constantly repeated in the hearing of the church:(1) the formula of baptism (Mt.28:19);and (2) the formula of benediction (2Cor.13:14).

"Jesus walketh upon the sea to calm the troubled waters of your soul".In no other can the peace that passeth understanding be found.Jesus saves, Jesus saves,praise His Holy and Divine name,the name which is above all other names,my Savior and my Lord. (JESUS)

God Himself being Triune,Father,Son and Holy Spirit has a Triune Will : His Divine Will, His Prophetic Will and His Permissive Will. This Triune Will works in much the same way as the Triune Being of God works,first is His Divine Will next is His Prophetic Will and third His Permissive Will.All things will come about to fulfill His Divine Will.Prophetic Will is dictated by Divine Will as is His Permissive Will.Just as the Trinity works together within the framework of the Godhead,so does the Triune Will of God work together and in full agreement to complete God's Divine Will,which will always be done as God wills it and for His pleasure.No person,power,force or devil can delay or stop God's Divine Will from being completed.It will be done by His Almighty power as the Creator of all things. Even so let His will be done. Amen & Amen

The Bible begins with God,not with philosophic arguments for His existence and nowhere does God try to prove that He exists.He simply presents Himself to mankind and you make the choice as to whether He exists or not.No one can prove either the existence or non-existence of God! (Faith)

God is because God is.Believers cannot prove that He exists and atheists cannot prove that He does not exist. Belief in Him is based on simple faith and until they understand simple faith atheists will never believe in God.
