Who Is God? Pt. 4

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.” Genesis 1:26

In today's study on God, we must address this one verse in the first chapter of the Bible where we come to the statement that God is an 'Us'. As in plural, more than one? Yes, that is what the scripture says when it reaches the sixth day of creation and humans, man and woman, were up for our beginnings. The best explanation for this does not come for more than a couple thousands of years. John wrote his gospel account and the story of the Revelation he witnessed as what may well be the final two books of the Bible to be written and disseminated. Both books reveal the Word, and God, and the Spirit, as being aspects of God. Of course, once we see this, then we see the Father, the Son, and the Spirit throughout the pages of the Bible. Aha, we say, even in the first verse of Genesis we see the Spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters. Yes, once the key unlocks the lock, we are able to see. It is left to John those many years down the road to explain where the Son, the Word of God, was in the Creation, but He is certainly there for us.

May the Lord Jesus watch over you as we begin the holiday weekend this evening!
