KNOWING GOD WHO IS OUR CREATOR I. God is the Divine Name (the being) of three Heavenly Persons (Personalities or Beings) who equally are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin when we were born upon the earth. This is why Paul said concerning the Divine Name of God in being our Creator, "Of whom (God) the whole family in heaven and earth is named." Ephesians 3:15 God said, "Let us (who are the Heavenly Persons that are called by the Divine Name of God) make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image" (of life). Genesis 1:26-27 John said concerning those three Heavenly Persons who equally are called God in being our Creator, "For there are three (Persons) that bear record (of our creation) in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit: and these three (Persons) are one" (equal). 1 John 5:7 Moses said concerning the oneness (the equality) of God, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." Deuteronomy 6:4
A. The Father, who is a Heavenly Person, must be called by the Divine Name of God in being our Creator because He makes God to be the Originator (the Progenitor) of our own created nature of life. James said, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27
B. The Word: the Heavenly Person, who was made to be the Son upon the earth by being born of the virgin Mary, must be called by the Divine Name of God in being our Creator because He makes God to be the Logos (the Enlightener) of our own created nature of life. John said, "In the beginning was the Word (the Logos), and the Word (the Enlightener) was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1
C. The Holy Spirit, who is a Heavenly Person, must be called by the Divine Name of God in being our Creator because He makes God to be the Lawgiver (the Ruler) of our own created nature of life. Peter asked Ananias, "Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Spirit? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God." Acts 5:3-4
II. We must know who the Persons are that equally are called by the Divine Name of God in being our Creator so that we can understand the greatness of our own divine nature of life because we possess Their Divine Features of life in matters of our own creation of life. Therefore since God is the Divine Name (the being) of three Heavenly Persons who equally are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, this greatly glorifies the whole being of our own creation of life because we are made in the image and after the likeness of God who is the being of three equal Persons that are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in matters of our own creation of life.KNOWING CHRIST WHO IS OUR REDEEMER I.

This is why Paul said concerning the Divine Name of Christ in matters of our own redemption of life. "Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart form iniquity." 2 Timothy 2:19 Peter said concerning the reason for our being baptized, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name (the authority) of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." Acts 2:38 Paul said concerning the manner in which we get into Christ so that we can put on Christ, "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Galatians 3:27 Therefore, Jesus (who was made both Lord and Christ in being our Redeemer) said concerning the Divine Reign of Christ in matters of our own redemption of life, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them (into Christ by baptizing them) in the name (the authority) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:18-20
A. The Father, who is a Divine Person, must be called by the Divine Name of Christ in being our Redeemer because He makes Christ to be the Originator (the Progenitor) of our own redeemed nature of life. Isaiah said, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name (Christ) shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
B. The Son: the Divine Person, who was the Incarnated Word upon the earth, must be called by the Divine Name of Christ in being our Redeemer because He makes Christ to be the Redeemer (the Purchaser) of our own redeemed nature of life. Peter said, "Let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God (who was the being of the Father and the Holy Spirit in heaven upon that occasion) hath made that same Jesus (who was the Incarnated Word: the Son upon the earth) whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Acts 2:34

The Holy Spirit, who is a Divine Person, must be called by the Divine Name of Christ in being our Redeemer because He makes Christ to be the Lawgiver (the Ruler) of our own redeemed nature of life.
