What to Believe:
God is One God who eternally exists in three distinct persons
God the Father is Yahweh Jesus the Son is Yahweh.
When the disciples worshipped Him after the storm, if Jesus were not Yahweh, He would not have allowed them to worship Him as such.
The Bible is okay with us not fully understanding it fully.
The Holy Spirit is Yahweh Yahweh is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit enables us to interact with God as the Father. Jesus is the Son who reveals the Father to us and He cleanses us to make us right with the Father, but the Holy Spirit is the supernatural way of engaging with the Father
The Holy Spirit isn’t only poured out upon individuals. God pours His spirit out on the church.
How to Obey:
Let the Bible be your foundation for understanding God and what He has created.
How to Walk Intimately with God:
God wishes to be near to you. Let Him define Himself for you.
He wishes to be known as the Father. We can see this in the High Priestly Prayer in John 17, and specifically in verse 21, “that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us.”
Jesus did only as the Father said and did so if Jesus desired us to be one with Him as He is one with the Father, then the Father wishes the same for us to be one with Him as He and the Son are one.
If the Son wishes for us to be one with Himself, then we walk in the same identity as children of the one He calls Father.
