Worship the LORD; worship JESUS
I Chronicles 16:25, 29 says: 25For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 29Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
The OT message is easily understood – worship God.

Interestingly, Christians are NEVER called upon to worship the Holy Spirit. All that arm raising you see in services when certain songs are sung is misdirection and error.

John 14:1 places these beliefs together. It says: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Isaiah 28:16 says: Therefore, thus says the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? The NT reiterates this in I John 1:5 by saying: This then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
The NT says in John 8:12 this: Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

In Fred Sanders’ sermon “Theology of the Trinity,” which focuses on 1 John, Sanders explains that John summed up his theology of God in a single statement: “God is light” (Biola University “Fred Sanders”). Although Sanders notes that summarizing is not always helpful, especially when discussing specific, complicated truths, John’s statement is actually sufficient to summarize the entire Gospel because different nuances of light are implied.

As Sanders states, “Darkness is absolutely incompatible with the God who is light…

In Isaiah 29:4 it says “thou…shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust”. Also in Isaiah 29, verses 11-12, it says “And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee, and he saith, I am not learned”.

The Bible is a large book with many side-stories that all relate to one aspect, God. A God that goes against everything humans have believed prior to the death of Jesus because in that moment the Christian God became truly confusing and a weirdo. The God that became man to suffer and die for all of humans’ sins. It is unfathomable for a divine being to prostrate itself for its followers but that is the point when Christians realized that their God was as much a part of them as they were of themselves. Just as Jesus spent his time tax collectors, whores, the poor, and the meek; God spends his time with humans.

While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6.

John 10:30 and 33 explain that the Father and the Son are one and First Corinthians 3:16 shows that the Father and the Spirit are one. Romans 8:9 makes clear that the Son and the Spirit are one. “However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” As the Expositor’s Commentary explains that being one with the Father, “here he is “the Spirit of God” and “the Spirit of Christ,” indicating that he carries out the purposes of God and applies the fruits of Christ’s redemptive mission to the lives of believers (cf.
