In The Beginning, "Elohim"

The Bible is a constant message of redemption from Genesis to Revelation. Christianity didn’t start in Matthew 1:1, it began in Genesis 1:1, in the beginning. The entire Bible is the whole council of God. Reading God’s word reveals His plan and gives us His promises.

Our finite mind will never understand or comprehend it all but the more we read and study The Word, the more He can reveal to us. God’s ways are not our ways and the time in eternity is not the same as our world time.

I have been given the gift of faith to believe that the Bible is The Word of God and to believe in God’s plan for redemption.

The Hebrew word used for God in Geneses 1:1 is “Elohim”. This word is a plural word meaning three or more; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4 says “Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God, is one!” Here again, Elohim is the name used for God. Also the word “one” is “echad” which means unity in plurality.

Our God is the Three in One; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. He is Elohim, the Creator, in Genesis 1:1. We read about the awaited Messiah and Holy Spirit throughout The Old Testament. Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 tell us about the third person in the trinity. The fulfillment of the prophesies of a Redeemer is found in the Gospels of the New Testament.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). You will find truth if you search for it. You have nothing to loose and all to gain by exploring the 66 books of the bible for yourself. If it is true, God will reveal truth to you. He says “seek and ye shall find”. He also promises us that His word shall not return void. It speaks to our hearts and minds and it will open our spiritual eyes and ears. Finding truth prepares us for eternity. “Now is the day of Salvation”. As I read and study The Word, I am preparing for eternity. I will be ready to be with my Lord and the loved ones who have gone on before me.
