CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF OUR GOD

Being and Person

Being is a quality that constitutes what you are and a person is a quality that constitutes who you are.

For example, who I am? I am Winston and I am one being and one person. I am human being and I am one person. But God is one being who has three persons. There is no other being like God on this earth.

From the beginning, in Genesis 1:1 God is shown as one being and three persons. In Genesis 1:1, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth. The word ‘Elohim’ is a plural noun. God is a divine being. In Genesis 1:26, God (Elohim) said, “We” (not I but We). Here the point to be noted is that God is saying and a plural noun is used for Him.

Though the word ‘Trinity’ does not exist in the Bible, it does not mean that we do not believe in it. In the same way, the very word ‘Bible’ also doesn’t exist in the Bible, hence it does not mean that we will not accept the Bible. Now, if you turn to the book of ‘Esther’ the term ‘God’ does not exist anywhere in that book, yet we accept the book of Esther as a book from God. The Bible is truly the Word of the Living God. Similarly, the term ‘Trinity’ is coined by the scholars of the Bible to describe the being and the persons of God.

Let us read Matthew 28:19 stating, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations; baptizing them in the name (one being) of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit (three persons)”.

Notice here, Jesus did not use ‘Name’ in a plural form cause He did not say ‘the Names’. The above verse clearly indicates in itself that God is only one being existing in three distinct personas. This does not mean that one person plays three different roles, nor does it mean that three gods clubbed into one.

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

भजन संहिता १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

CELEBRATION OF SALVATION

The Monthly Devotional E-magazine for December titled "CELEBRATION OF SALVATION" by their Excellency, Apostle Winston Joseph and Sister Parveen Winston is now available for all Partners of AWJM. Many a man has been looking for salvation. They assume that they would receive salvation through some knowledgeable person or through some religious performance that is like saying that their act would take them through. Of course, we honour them those knowledgeable and wise men who have done well for the country today and are gone There are some exemplary in whose honour we have names of roads, flyovers, towns, railway stations, airports, colleges, universities etc. However, redemption is impossible through knowledgeable or wise men or through religious performance because to redeem men is not in the hands of men. In reality, it is only the Bible that says, ‘Every human must attain salvation’ but the question remains how? Salvation is the Preciou...
