Dear Editor,

John 1: 1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” And John 1: 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

God became flesh in the son.

1 John 2: 22 says, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”

It takes the grace of God to receive this understanding; many see the scriptures and it is still hidden to them, but there are some who will have faith in the scriptures and trust them, not man’s ideas.

Luke 24: 45 says, “Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.”

It’s good to know these truths that are like diamonds hidden in the rocks, and also believe them with your whole heart, and apply them daily.

Isaiah 9: 6 says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 45: 5-7, 15, and 21-22 says, “I am the Lord, and there is none else; there is no God beside Me. I girded thee, thou though has not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things. Verily, thou art God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior. Tell ye, and bring them near. Yea, let them take counsel together, who hath declare this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the Lord? And there is no God else beside Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else.”

If God says there is no other God beside Him, can we believe Him in which it is impossible for Him to lie? God is seeking those who have a desire to please Him.

2 Chronicles 16: 9 says, “For the eyes fo the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” Christ came into this world as God robed him in human flesh to seek us out and reveal himself to whomsoever will. Don’t you want to know him today?

Revelation 22: 17 says, “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let him that heareth say, ‘Come.’ And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

Colossians 2: 8-10 says, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.”
