Knowing God ( revised )



God is the alpha and the omega,
The beginning and the end.
There is no beginning and no end
To  God who is eternal.

God, the Father, the Son and Spirit,
He is a triune God ,three in One,
1+ 1+ 1 = 3           1x 1 x 1 = 1
Father is God, Jesus is God and the Spirit is God !

How do you know God ?
God says, My sheep hear my voice
And they listen
And follow Me !

Sheep tend to wander
Just like  you and me,
We need the Good Shepherd
To keep us on a clear path.

Jesus the Son of God
Was sent on a mission to do the Father's will,
To die on a cross for the sins of the world
Which include you and me !

But Jesus conquered death
By living again
And because of that
We can also live with Him forever !

Our outer shell like a seed
Must die in order for the seed to live and grow,
From dust to dust and then what ?
Our inner man, our soul lives on !

Faith in God is the answer,
It is the gift of God, lest any man should boost,
Faith without works is dead
If you don't tell others about Jesus, you don't know Him

Don't live for just yourself only
Tell the Good News.
God works through us  to do this
Reaping souls is worth more than all the gold !

So there is one God existing as  the triune God
They are distinct
They are equally God,
God 's nature is infinite, no subtracting or adding !

And someday He is coming back again
To claim His own to live with Him forever,
Will you be there ?
Or left behind, either one or the other !

Reading the Bible is ideal and beneficial to grow
But hearing God's Word by an able servant
Fellowship with others makes the choice clear
Go to Church !
