Is God A Trinity PDF - Church of God Faithful Flock

God Is a Family 43after our likeness: and let them have dominion over thefish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over thecattle, and over all the earth, and over every creepingthing that creepeth upon the earth."God created man in His own image. Man is greaterthan the rest of the creation, because God gave him mindpower. He has dominion over all the creatures. Man is notan animal. He was created in the image of God- after theGod kind.Taught in the New TestamentThe Apostle John understood God's plans for mankind.Notice what he wrote in I John 3:1:"Behold, what manner of love the Father [here is thefamily relationship - not a closed trinity] hath bestowedupon us, that we should be called the sons of God: thereforethe world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.Beloved, now are we [already] the [begotten] sons of God,and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we knowthat when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for weshall see him as he is."Jesus Christ, the One who was the God of the OldTestament, the Creator God, became flesh, died and wasresurrected as a part of God's plan to make man God.Jesus Christ is not to be the only son of God. He is theonly born Son now, but as John wrote, "when he shallappear, we shall be like him." We are begotten sons now,and will be born sons of God at the resurrection.It is clearly God's plan to bring many sons into Hisfamily. "For it became him [God the Father], for whomare all things, and by whom are all things, in bringingmany sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation[Jesus Christ] perfect through sufferings" (Heb. 2:10).The pages of the Bible are filled with this - God'sgreat purpose for man. And yet the majority of thisworld's Christians are blinded to this central biblicaltruth. Why'? Because Satan has deceived the whole world(Rev. 12:9). God is not a closed Trinity, He is a family- afamily in which you can become a member.
