GOD HAS MADE HIMSELF KNOWN TO US IN THREE FORMS; FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT
GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE, HIS FINGERPRINTS ARE ALL OVER IT AND WE ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AROUND US TO SEE TANGIBLE EXAMPLES OF WHAT HE IS LIKE.

There is only one God, and He has made Himself known to us in three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each reveals a different aspect of God’s character; much like a diamond with many faces or facets reflects the light, and displays the beauty within the whole gemstone.

Another picture that helps us understand what God is like is water. Water can exist in three different forms; solid, liquid and gas. We know the solid as ice, the liquid as water and the gas as steam, but each state is still water – just in a different form.
God made us in His image. This doesn’t mean that we look like God, but that we have some of the characteristics of God within us. We have aspects of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit within us and the easiest aspect of God for us to identify with, the Son; Jesus Christ.

God the Son, Jesus, came to Earth and was born as a baby. Jesus had a human body, knew hunger and thirst, he got tired and slept, he felt pain and sadness, he worked and grew, he learned and he was tempted, just like us! All these characteristics, and more, show us that Jesus was human.

However, Jesus was also God. He did miracles and healed people to demonstrate the power of God. What was even more amazing is that Jesus allowed the authorities to put Him to death, so that the penalty of our wrongdoings, the sin that separated us from God, could be paid. However, this was not the end; because he was God, death had no control over Him and he was raised to life again. When Jesus did return to Heaven, the Holy Spirit came to live in the hearts of those who became followers of Jesus and enables them to be like Jesus.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD THEN HONESTLY SAY, “JESUS IS LORD,” AND BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD. GOD WILL ACCEPT YOU AND SAVE YOU , IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE THIS AND TELL IT TO OTHERS.

Protecting and Maintaining Body and Soul

Posted on March 10, 2013 by rachbinderbunger

We spend an enormous amount of time, money and energy maintaining and protecting our body, but how much of it do we spend on our soul or to put it another way; keeping the soul safe from the enemy? Whenever we feel sick or under the weather, we visit the Doctor or the chemist and seek treatment, or when we discover that we are suffering with some terminal illness, we seek immediate treatment so that we can make a full recovery. We also try to protect our body by eating and drinking appropriatley. Hence, we spend so much time worrying about maintaining protecting our body that everything else becomes secondary.

Earthly or Heavenly Home

Posted on November 26, 2012 by rachbinderbunger

There are two kinds of people, the 1^st who call this world their home and the 2^nd who believe that heaven is their true home. So, if the only home that you know is on this earth then that’s what you will spend all your strength and energy improving. The scripture puts it like this, “Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” Matthew 6:20-21 Continue reading →

Helplessness

Posted on November 21, 2012 by rachbinderbunger

Next month we will be looking at the birth of our Lord Jesus. As a baby Jesus was completely helpless and unable to protect or feed himself and was completely dependent on his mother and others around him. There are many occasions in our life, when we feel a sense of vulnerability and helplessness which descend upon us and there is nothing we can do about it. That’s the times when we look to other for mental and moral support and majority of the times our friends and family are there for us. Sadly other times we have to turn to professionals for their advice or medical help to get us through the difficult or vulnerable times. Continue reading →
