Getting to Know God- Part 1

Hi everyone. Let me start by saying that giving an explanation of God is like trying to explain the vastness of the universe. There are some things about the universe that are still a mystery. No matter how long you have a relationship with God, there are still some things about him that are beyond explanation. I am going to make an attempt to give a simple explanation of who God is and what he is like. I am not going to use a lot of theological terms. There may be some people that are reading this that already have a relationship with God. There may also be some people that are reading these blogs that have never heard about God. I want to start with the basics. Some of you might not need the basics, and some of you may need them. For those of you that already know the basics, hang in there and be patient. It is similar to putting an airplane together. You start with the first step in the process and continue until you assemble the final part. Step 1 in a close walk with God is getting to know who he is and what he is like. We also have to learn the way that he has given us to have a relationship with him.

So who is God? God is made up of three individuals. He exists as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is three separate individuals that make the One True God. How is it possible that God is three separate individuals? We actually have an example on earth that is very similar to this. Is there anyone that is reading this blog that is married? If you are not married, surely you know someone that is married. Marriage is very similar to what I am talking about. In a marriage, you have a husband and a wife. They are two separate individuals, yet their lives are joined together as one. They no longer operate separately from each other, but they do things as a family. When decisions are made, they affect two people instead of one. They are still two separate individuals, but now they are one. In the same way God is three separate individuals, yet God is one. In the next blogs, I will talk about each individual of the Godhead, and how they work together in unity. I hope that these posts are a continual blessing to you and that they are giving you a desire to have a close walk with God.
