06/11/20 JESUS, THE GODHEAD
God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit (3 in 1).
Often, when we refer only to Jesus (not "Jesus Only"), we are inferring the Godhead.
It is essential to understand that there is only One God and that He is Three Persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) because the Bible clearly teaches that there is only One God, and the Bible also clearly teaches that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit (and that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of the Bible are the One and selfsame God).
It is good to study the nature and administrations of God and it is good to study the Father, Son and Holy Spirit specifically.
It is good to know about God's work of salvation in our lives and it is good for us to know the different ministries of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It is good to praise God and to praise the Three Who are the Godhead.
Songs of worship and praise concerning God and referring to Each One in the Godhead is appropriate.
It is appropriate to refer to God as Jesus, since Jesus is God.
All of Divine nature dwells in the Son.
To honor Jesus is to honor God, the Godhead.
The Triune nature of the One true God is expressed by the word "Godhead."
Paul tells us...
1. God revealed Himself through nature (creation) even His eternal power and Godhead (the true and living God, in three person).
Romans 1:20
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
2. God ultimately revealed Himself in His Son.
Jesus said no man has seen God at any time, but (He) Jesus has revealed Him to us (Jn. 1:18; Jn. 10:30; Jn. 14:9; He. 1:2-3).
The word, Godhead, is used in reference to the Divine unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In Colossians we are told that Jesus is the image of the invisible God (1:15), and we are also told that in Christ, all of the fullness of the Godhead dwells (2:9).
Colossians 1:15-20
15 Who (referring to Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Colossians 2:9
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
