God in Three Forms - Evidences in Creation and the Perfect Sacrifice
Take a deep breath...
When you read âGod in three forms,â were you puzzled? Thatâs okay. I didnât always think of God in that way. In the past, God was to me a singular being, Himself great and mighty. Jesus was also who He is, by Himself, the great high priest. While the Holy Spirit was, of course, Godâs Spirit, and so I would qualify Him as God. Hence, my understanding was that it was just two separate beings.
I have this wonderful friend I often have conversations with about the Bible, and we would both share our understanding of it.
So on this fateful day, when Isabella called me to ask that we spend time at a cafĂŠ in a mall just a few minutes away from my house, I didnât think anything extraordinary would come of it. Perhaps âextraordinaryâ isnât the word, but it stood out to me as she encouraged me to really learn about the possibility of a divine tri-unity for myself. I had shared the knowledge (or puzzlement) of an interlinked but individual relationship shared between God and Jesus, while also saying it was more of a dual-unity than a tri-unity or trinity.
After that meeting with her, I kept ruminating about it, and a verse from a hymn we used to sing in high school during morning assemblies and Sunday school rose up in my heart: "God in three persons, blessed trinity."
This was how my revelation began.
From the conversation to the hymn, and then I would pray for the revelation of what I may be lacking. A part of me knew I was drawing closer to the answer as I prayed and read the Bible. As the days passed, I shared any new findings I came across with my dear friend, and she encouraged me to continue. She said, "You can pray Ephesians 1:17." I continued, but I hadnât arrived at the answer yet.
We had that first conversation on the evening of September 14, 2024, and today, September 22, 2024, at 10:36 am GMT, I sent her a message announcing that I had finally arrived at the knowledge I sought. Indeed I had, and I was beside myself with so much joy.
I write this because I find that I would like to refer back to these revelations in the days that I may need them again, and I also share this publicly with anyone who might have sought the same knowledge about the true nature of God, creation, and the great sacrifice.
Now before we get into the amazing details, I would like to encourage you to say this brief prayer:
âDear God, grant me the patience to lean into this revelation and to be compelled to know more about Your true nature, the intricacies of creation, and the great sacrifice through Jesus Christ. Amen.â
Fantastic! Now letâs begin.
The First Form - The Father
Letâs begin with the Father, who initiates all things and whose will is the driving force behind creation. In the very first verse of the Bible, we are introduced to God as the Creator in Genesis 1:1 (NIV): âIn the beginning, God created the heavens and the earthâ. This speaks of God the Fatherâs authority, the architect of the universe who, through His word, brings all things into existence. The Father is often seen as the source and origin of everything, the one whose commands set the world into motion.
Throughout Scripture, the Fatherâs sovereign role is evident. In Isaiah 45:12 (NIV), He declares, "It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts."
Here, we witness the Fatherâs supreme power, His creative authority over the universe, as He not only creates but sustains the order of all things.
Yet, the Father is not distant. He is intimately involved in the workings of His creation. In Ephesians 1:11 (NLT), we read, "Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for He chose us in advance, and He makes everything work out according to His plan."
God the Father is not just the Creator, but the one who actively governs and orchestrates every detail of life, ensuring that all aligns with His will.
We see this even in prayer in Matthew 6:9 (NIV) when Jesus teaches us to say "Our Father in heaven".
This recognizes the Fatherâs position and authority as the one we turn to for provision and guidance. The Father is the initiator, the source of all life, the one who loves and cares for His creation deeply. His role in the tri-unity is foundational, as the one from whom the Son and the Holy Spirit proceed, working in harmony to accomplish His will.
Letâs go deeper into this knowledge by examining who the second form/person is â Jesus Christ.
The Second Form - Jesus Christ
In the book of Genesis 1, we learn about creation. We learn that God created the universe, yes? For purpose of this study, letâs go to Hebrews 1:1-2 (NLT/GNT/AMP/TNT/NWT).
NLT (New Living Translation):
In the past, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets in many different ways. But in these final days, God has spoken to us through His Son. He appointed His Son as heir of all things, and through Him, He created the universe.
GNT (Good News Translation):
Long ago, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets in many different ways. But in these last days, He has spoken to us through His Son. He appointed His Son as heir of all things, and through Him, He created the universe.
AMP (Amplified Bible):
In the past, God spoke to our fathers [ancestors] in many portions and in many ways through the prophets, but in these last days, He has spoken to us in His Son. He appointed Him heir of all things, and through Him, He made the worlds.
TNT (The New Testament in Todayâs English):
In the past, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets in many different ways. But in these last days, He has spoken to us through His Son. He appointed His Son as heir of all things, and through Him, He created the universe.
NWT (New World Translation):
Long ago, God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. Now at the end of these days, He has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the systems of things.
Point to note: âŚthrough Him (His SonâJesus Christ), God created the universe.
Do you now realize that God the Father was giving commands to Jesus the Son on what to create as the universe was being made? He wasnât commanding the light directly; He was commanding Jesus to create it, as seen in Genesis 1:3-4 (GNT) where it says, "Then God commanded, âLet there be lightâ â and light appeared."
Letâs also read Genesis 1:6-7 (GNT):
"Then God commanded, âLet there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate placesâ â and it was done."
Donât think of Jesus as just a person though. Letâs read John 1:1-5 (GNT) to see that Jesus was/is the Word of God:
"In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. From the very beginning, the Word was with God. Through Him, God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without Him. The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out."
I particularly love the AMP translation which says:
"In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Gen 1:1; Isaiah 9:6] He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it]. [Gen 1:3]"
In Genesis 1-2:7 we see that God gave commands, but to whom? Not to things that were already created, as they didnât exist. The commands were given to Jesus, who is the Word, the Living Expression of God and Jesus obeyed every command perfectly. God gave the commands, and Jesus, through whom all things were made, carried them out.
Remember in Genesis 1:2 (GNT), "the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water." Jesus was already there, and the light He created overpowered the darkness, just as the spiritual light brought into the world through His great sacrifice overcomes spiritual darkness (see John 1:5).
So, Jesus is not only Godâs Word, the creative force behind all things but also the living expression of Godâs will. This makes Him one with God, and therefore, by being the living expression of the Fatherâs commands, He holds an essential place in the Godhead. This unity between the Father and the Son is affirmed in John 10:30 (NIV), where Jesus says, "I and the Father are one."
This unity is demonstrated not only in creation but also in salvation. Jesus came to earth to fulfill the Fatherâs will, to redeem humanity, and to be the ultimate sacrifice for sin. In John 3:16, the deep love of the Father for us, you and me, is shown through the Son: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
The Sonâs role in the tri-unity is one of perfect obedience, revealing the Fatherâs will through His life, death, and resurrection.
Then by Yahwehâs perfect sacrifice of his Sonâs blood through the eternal spirit, theâuselessâ rituals were forfeited as described by Apostle Paul in ââHebrews⏠â9:â14⏠â(NIV).
Apostle Paul also wrote in ââHebrews⏠â10âŹ:â11âŹ-â14⏠â(NIV), âDay after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.â
Then we see that also the Holy Spirit testified in ââHebrews⏠â10âŹ:â15âŹ-â18⏠â(NIVâŹâŹ):
âThe Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: âThis is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.â Then he adds: âTheir sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.â And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.â
Letâs learn more about him the third Form/Person in the Godhead.
The Third Form - The Holy Spirit
The third form in the Godhead is the Holy Spirit, often understood as the presence and power of God actively working within creation and within believers. The Spirit is introduced early in the Bible, in Genesis 1:2 (NIV), where it says, "the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Before the world was shaped, the Spirit was present, preparing to execute the Fatherâs commands alongside the Son. The wonder that is!
Throughout the Old Testament, the Spirit comes upon individuals to empower them for specific tasks. For instance, in Judges 6:34 (NIV), "the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon" to lead Israel to victory. However, in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit's role becomes even more personal and permanent. Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit as a helper and guide for believers. In John 14:26, Jesus says, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
The Holy Spirit is Godâs power working within us, transforming us from the inside out. In Acts 2, the Spirit descends upon the apostles at Pentecost, filling them with boldness, wisdom, and the ability to speak in tongues. This marks the fulfillment of Jesus' promise in Acts 1:8 (AMP), where He says,
âBut you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.â
The Spiritâs role is one of guidance, empowerment, and sanctification. He convicts us of sin (John 16:8), leads us into all truth (John 16:13), and equips us to live lives that reflect Godâs holiness. Romans 8:14 (AMP) reminds us that "For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." The Holy Spirit unites us with the Father and the Son, making us part of Godâs family and enabling us to live in alignment with His will.
Through the Spirit, we are not left to our own devices but are continually empowered to grow in Christ-likeness. Galatians 5:22-23 describes the fruit of the Spiritâlove, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-controlâqualities that reflect the very nature of God Himself. In this way, the Spiritâs role in the tri-unity is not only about empowerment but also about transforming us into Godâs likeness, enabling us to live as true children of God.
The Interrelationship Parallel: Body, Soul, and Spirit
I couldnât possibly conclude this revelation without sharing how exact we are in our likeness to God. In understanding the tri-unity of Godâthe Father, the Son, and the Holy Spiritâwe see a divine parallel to how we, as humans, were created. Genesis 1:26 proclaims, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness." This statement hints at the triune nature of God, as well as how we are made to reflect that nature. One of the key features of the moon is that it was created to reflect the light from the sun. Similarly, we were created to reflect the nature of God. In his likeness. Just as God exists in three forms/persons, we too are composed of three essential parts: body, soul, and spirit.
Our body connects us to the physical world, just as Christ, the second form, became flesh and entered our world. The soul is our mind, will, and emotionsâthe seat of our personalityâjust as the Father is the mind and will behind creation. Lastly, the spirit is that which connects us to God, much like the Holy Spirit works within us, communicating Godâs presence and power.
These three parts of our being are meant to function in harmony, just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in perfect unity. When we live in alignment with God, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, we reflect the image of the triune God in our own lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 prays for this complete alignment: "May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, we too are called to live in holistic unityâour body, soul, and spirit working together in submission to Godâs will. This is our purpose as beings created in His image: to reflect His nature, His love, and His holiness in every aspect of our lives.
We can see in Leviticus 19:2(NLT) and 1 Peter 1:15-16(NLT), that God said; âYou must be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.â
Through Christâs sacrifice and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to fulfill this purpose, living as children of God and participating in His divine plan.
In this way, the tri-unity of God is not just a mystery to be contemplated but a reality to be lived out in our daily walk with Him. Just as He exists in perfect unity, so too are we called to live in unityâbody, soul, and spiritâreflecting the image of our Creator.
This understanding of the triune Godâthe Father, the Son, and the Holy Spiritâenriches not only our knowledge of who God is but also our understanding of who we are in Him. Through this revelation, we see that we are made to operate in harmony with our Creator, empowered by His Spirit, and conformed to the image of His Son.
What a privilege it is to live out this divine calling!
I pray this blessed you⌠I pray you share in the joy I felt in this revelation through the Holy Spirit.
Till next time.
