The One True God
Tim Melton
Acts 4:12
Recently we had a gentlemen speak to our youth about his journey from Hinduism to Christianity. He had been born into a Brahmin family, into the highest caste of the Hindu religion. In his teenage years he had been exposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ and after several years he chose to follow Jesus Christ. Listening to his testimony and spiritual journey it served as a reminder that our world is filled with many religions and beliefs. Some worship one god, others worship multiple gods, some have no god, and others promise ways for you to become a god.
In today's spiritual climate where many beliefs are taking hold and where many believe that all religions lead to the same god it is essential for us as followers of Jesus Christ to go back to the basics and be reminded of the teachings of scripture, of our sin, of our lostness and why ''Salvation can be found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.'' (Acts 4:12)
The belief in one God is referred to as ''mono-theism.'' ''Mono'' in Greek means one and ''theo'' in Greek means God. The belief that there is more than one God is known as ''polytheism.'' ''Poly'' in Greek means many and once again ''theo'' means God. The Christian faith is ''monotheistic.'' There is only one God. Some have mistaken Christianity as being polytheistic and claimed that we have three gods, known as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but that shows that they do not have a true understanding of our beliefs and of the scriptures.
Today we are going to be studying the one true God and the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. The word ''trinity'' means three-in-one. The Trinity is the truth about God that explains how He is one God but is made up of three persons. We will consider scriptures that speak of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. At the same time we will rely on scriptures such as Deuteronomy 6:4, w ...
