... One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. —Ephesians 4:6
We know there is no way for man to earn a place in Heaven on his own. We are simply born unclean and unworthy, and the conditions of this world serve to push us further and further into sin. Through Jesus Christ, however, we are granted a spot in a perfect eternity. This is the fundamental basis of Christianity, of course, but there is so much more to our God. All Christians should know about the Holy Trinity. There is the Father, who is the creator of our universe. The son is Jesus, who died so we may have salvation. The Holy Spirit is the force that works upon our hearts both before and after we give our lives to Christ. The Father, son and Holy Spirit are all separate platforms, but they are a part of the same God. Each interacts with our life in a different way and time. Together they meet all our spiritual needs and give us the highest sense of fulfillment. But God is also meant to be a friend – someone whom we can build a close relationship with and confide in. He is a guide who shows us the right path, even when it is too dark to see ourselves. He is a protector who fights against the advances of Satan and his attempts to cause us pain. He is a teacher whom we can model our lives around. He is all these things, but He is more. He is love and knowledge and compassion beyond our very comprehension. Today, ask yourself how many of these aspects of our Lord that you see. Remember that He can provide everything you need for spiritual fulfillment.
