The Great Original Life Source

1.        I believe that God the Father is the great original life source or fountain from whom all things flow.

1Co 8:6  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him..

Psa 36:9  For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Jas 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

2.      I believe that Christ came forth from the Father in eternity beyond the realms of human comprehension and has existed from eternity in fellowship with the Father.

Mic 5:2  But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

        Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

And the Son of God declares concerning Himself: "The Lord possessed Me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from everlasting. . . . When He appointed the foundations of the earth: then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him." Proverbs 8:22-30.” {PP 34.1}

3.      I believe that as the Father has life in Himself, that He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and that the Son inherited all the fullness of the Godhead in the express image of His Father, including His name - God.

Joh 5:26  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

Heb 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Heb 1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

        Heb 1:4  Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

4.       I believe that the Holy Spirit is the personal and omnipresent Spirit of the Father and the Son and flows forth from the Father and Son as their representative. It is through this mighty agency that Christ personally comforts us and strengthens us.

Psa 139:7  Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

Rev 22:1  And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Rom 8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Rom 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Rom 8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
