God, Son of God, Holy Spirit

 God, Son of God, Holy Spirit. All three in unity yet not quite how the classical, traditional theologians tell it. Personal experience tells me the Father is a unity being in His own right, needing no other. Jesus is His begotten son, just as much distinct as any son is distinct from a father. In Jesus’s case that Father just happens to be God, the Most High Being over all other beings, creator of all. Yet Jesus is so much like His Father. The Father is right there in the appearance and personality of Jesus. We might bear the likeness of angels, like whom we were created as a species. Jesus, human, yet bears the very hallmark of God the Almighty Father. Jesus alive from the dead is the very manifestation of God the Father’s power and love and wisdom and glory. Gloriously mirroring God. Loving and receiving us who believe. Showing us how we need to be, to escape sin, having died to pay sin’s price for us. The Holy Spirit reveals the glory of the name of Jesus whose feet God has placed over all things in love. We fall short of that. Yet God commands our wholehearted love. And protection is part of His love for us, if we fear Him for who He is, Yahweh from of old. All this I know by revelation. Not merely study of scriptures. God loves you and wants to save you. He has provided His Son for you. If you believe, He will give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you, such as now and then, when you are together. The miracles can show what words alone cannot. The Father is awesomely unfathomably great over time and space, matter and energy, in ways we cannot fully understand. He empowers Jesus.
