Please open your Bible at John 5:19-29.
We are looking at the teaching of Jesus on the most important subject of all: the nature of God—
who God is.
Jesus affirmed the great truth that there is one God. And yet throughout the gospels, he speaks of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God.
There is one God, and he exists in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.

None of us has seen God or heard His voice, but God became a man in Christ Jesus (John 5:37). But

1:14).

distance from us has become man in Jesus Christ. He is God in the flesh. God with us. He is the one
who reveals the Father to us and through him we can come to the Father.
