Scripture to Read: 1 Timothy 2:5
God has always been One, and He has always existed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. No one has ever seen God and we know this because God tells us this in John 1:18, John 6:46, 1 John 4:12, and 1 John 4:20. But God lovingly revealed Himself through our Lord Jesus Christ, and we know this because Christ said, in John 14:6-7, Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” When Jesus said to Thomas, “and have seen Him,” Jesus was referencing Himself. God being eternal is hard for us to grasp with our finite mind. Since God is infinite, our limited knowledge sometimes frustrates us to understand all we’d like to understand about God. The good news is that God, in His lovingkindness, gave us His Holy Spirit to live in us so we could have a fuller knowledge of Him. God also gave us His Holy Word to know the fullness of Him and who we are in Him. Prayer is the conduit God has given us to thank, praise, glorify, worship, ask, seek, find, know, and petition Him. The good news is that Christ is our mediator between us and God the Father, so through Christ we have total access to God’s throne of grace. Let’s take full access of this incredible gift from God.
