A Challenge to God’s People

This book is a challenge to you. As a responsible Christian, you need to stop and really reevaluate what you are believing concerning God’s word. To obey God, one must first, know who He is; second, know when He is speaking; and third, know what He is saying. When these things are clearly understood, then you will be able to responsibly follow His words and commandments in obedience!

Remember, God’s words are not grievous, or empty. The words of God are life to us. We must accept any responsibility for failing to understand God’s word. 1 Corinthians 2:14 says: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

The information in this book not only confirms what the work of the Father and Son are, as revealed in Scripture, but it also confirms their relationship to each other and to us. We are expected therefore to understand what has been shown to us from God’s revelation. To speculate further would be our own interpretation, and that is contrary to the will of God.

Through the Scriptures one can have a clearer understanding of God. God is beyond finding out, but we are expected to understand what has been revealed to us. We can now know God through His book. Psalm 40:7 states: “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.” After studying what is said about the Father and Son from the Bible, there will be no room for any speculation or confusion concerning the revelation of God’s word. This book will discuss and confirm truths that are not popular with the thinking of the world today. Noah had a similar situation in his day. The truth was certainly not popular with the thinking of the time in which he was living. Bible history tells us the rest of what happened! We are living in the last days just before the second coming of Christ. In Luke 17:26 we read…“as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” In other words, the same scenario will take place.

The subject of “the Holy Spirit,” the third member of the Trinity, has been in the dark for too long. Fortunately, God has revealed all we need to know concerning His Holy Spirit. It is difficult to comprehend something that is hidden, such as a “mystery.” The Trinity has been hidden from our view because it is regarded as a mystery! God has clearly revealed His word for all to understand; therefore it should not be a mystery to anyone. This is the reason we are counseled to study, that we might rightly divide scripture. (See 2 Timothy 2:15.) Jesus said: “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” (John 15:15)

Romans 16:25, 26 tells us that there were mysteries, but there was a revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began. This mystery is made known by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God. It is made known to all nations so we can be obedient through faith. Paul, in Romans 1:20, says we are to understand the Godhead. There are some believers today who still consider the Godhead a mystery. Who, therefore, can call the Godhead a mystery when the truth about it has been revealed in the Bible? This book will help you to clearly understand the Godhead the way God has revealed it. Acts 17:29, 30 tells us: “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” Why are we asked to repent? It is because our understanding concerning the Godhead has been perverted. The truth about the Godhead has already been revealed, therefore we are without excuse for this ignorance. We should not interpret Scripture according to our own understanding or imagination. Proverbs 14:12 tells us: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

If the word of God remains to us a mystery or is hidden from our understanding, note what will happen to us: “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one [Satan], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.” (Matthew 13:19) When a person receives the word of God and does not understand it, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word of God [the seed of truth] that was sown in his heart. This individual who had this understanding taken away from him will receive seed by the wayside (Satan’s teaching). See also Mark 4:15. If a person does not understand the history behind the Trinity and continues to believe it is a mystery, Satan will successfully train that mind to believe a lie! The Trinity as taught today will never allow anyone to overcome sin! The word “Trinity” is not in the Bible; this alone should be a clue to you. Studying the Bible as God intended you to will reveal truths that can set you free from the bondage of sin. You can overcome sin, and when you do there is a promise from Christ to us. See Revelation 3:21.)

Hebrews 6:18 tells us “that God cannot lie.” Why not evaluate yourself right now to see where you stand? Ask yourself these questions: What is my relationship with Christ? Do I really know Him and am I ready to meet my Maker? Do I have the mind of Christ? Am I manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit? (See Galatians 5:22-23.) Are there any sins in my life today that I know about? Can I say that I have dominion over them? Brothers and sisters, you can overcome sins because truth sets you free from them! Yes, you can have the mind of Christ and the fruit of the Spirit also. If you want to be set free, apply the Biblical principles you will learn in this book. It shows very clearly the things we need to know to submit ourselves to God. James writes: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7). Understanding the truth about God will set you free. God is big enough and able to show you if you are going in the wrong direction. (See Isaiah 30:21.) God’s Holy Spirit has not been done away with or made of none effect! The Spirit has the same power today as it did at Pentecost. Without God’s Holy Spirit we will be lost. With this truth revealed, we can reverence God as Jesus taught us. You owe it to God and to yourself to search out this book carefully. Remember, for us to obey God we must know Him, and to know Him and His Son is eternal life. (See John 17:3.) “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11) This includes you dear reader. Joe Harricharan
