Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
The journey begins: God is a Spirit
- He opens a journey through the Bible whose first priority is to know the God of the Bible, starting from Jesus' word to the woman at the well: God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
- God's essence is Spirit, while love is his attribute: 'God is love' speaks of his character, but John 4:24 defines his very being.
- The risen Christ defines a spirit for the frightened disciples: handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have.
- Paul calls him the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God.
Scriptures: John 4:24; 1 John 4:8; Luke 24:37-39; 1 Timothy 1:17
The invisible God makes himself known
- Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature; by him were all things created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible.
- God cannot be seen with the natural eye unless he takes a form; to Moses he made himself known in the burning bush that burned and was not consumed, and named himself the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
- In the fiery furnace the king saw four men loose walking in the midst of the fire, and the form of the fourth was like the Son of God: the invisible God had come down and taken a form in the midst of the fire.
Scriptures: Colossians 1:15-16; Exodus 3:4; Exodus 3:6; Daniel 3:25
No man can see his face: the vastness of God
- When Moses pleaded, show me thy glory, God answered, thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me and live; Paul echoes it of the God who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto.
- Solomon at the dedication asks, but will God indeed dwell on the earth? The heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him, how much less the house he had built.
- David traces a God who has searched him and known him, who compasses his path and his lying down and is acquainted with all his ways; from his Spirit there is nowhere to flee: if I ascend up into heaven, thou art there.
- Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, but God was already where the storm would happen; and a day's journey away Jesus could tell the nobleman, go thy way, thy son liveth, and the fever left the child at that same hour.
Scriptures: Exodus 33:20; 1 Timothy 6:16; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 139:1-10; Jonah 1:3; John 4:49-53
He pauses to pray for Ukraine
- He deviates from the sermon to lead the house in prayer for the people of Ukraine and for church family members who have family in Ukraine and in Russia, asking the Lord to spare lives as the praying church once saw Peter delivered from prison.
One God, and his name one
- He is one God and one Spirit: hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
- Malachi asks, have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? And Zechariah looks to the day when the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
- The church carries a responsibility not only to preach and teach the oneness of God but to show people where the doctrine of the Trinity is in error.
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4; Malachi 2:10; Zechariah 14:9
Three manifestations, not three persons
- The doctrine of the Trinity holds one God eternally existing as three distinct persons; the error lies in three separate persons, for the Bible presents three manifestations of one God: the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in the church today.
- Paul warns the church, beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men and not after Christ: for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
- Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
- Nowhere does the Bible call the Son eternal or the Father eternal; Isaiah's child is called the everlasting Father, and the Bible's one 'eternal' title belongs to the Spirit: through the eternal Spirit Christ offered himself without spot to God.
Scriptures: Colossians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 9:14
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father
- Jesus declares, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and answers Philip's 'show us the Father': if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; he that hath seen me hath seen the Father, for the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
- The same answer would be given in heaven: there is no other throne to point to, because our God is one.
Scriptures: John 14:6-10
The objector's questions: let us make man
- A staged objector presses 'let us make man in our image'; but the next verse says God created man in his own image, and the 'us' is answered by God's counsel with his own will: he worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
- To 'who was he praying to,' he answers from the dual nature of Jesus Christ: as man he slept, hungered, and prayed; as God he walked on the water, fed the multitude, and came forth out of the tomb victorious.
- Mary's conception shows the same God at work: the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee — the God whose Spirit moved upon the face of the waters in the beginning.
- The voice from heaven and the Spirit descending like a dove at his baptism do not make three persons: the omnipresent God who stood in the water could also speak from heaven. He closes by announcing that the journey continues next week with the value of the name of Jesus Christ; the capture's tail runs out mid-sentence as the dismissal turns to fellowship, the sermon itself complete.
