The Supreme Deity of the universe is God the Father. He is the Almighty, the Creator and of the heavens, the earth and all things therein (
Gen. 1.1 ;
Neh. 9.6 ;
Ps. 124:8; Isa. 40:26,28; 44:24; Acts 14:15; 17:24-25; Rev. 14:7).
He alone is immortal (Greek
avqanasi,a, "endless existence"), and no man has seen or can see Him (1Tim. 6:16). He is our God and Father and the God and Father of Yeshua (Jn. 20:17). He is the Most High God (Gen. 14:18; Num. 24:16; Deut. 32:8; Mk. 5:7) and the Only True God (Jn. 17:3; 1Jn. 5:20).
Yeshua states that the Father "seeks those who would worship Him, for they are the true worshippers..." (John 4:23). Prayer is to be directed to the Father and asked in Yeshua's name (John 16:23).
Yeshua is the image of the invisible God and the first born
(Grk.
prwto,tokoj) of the creation (Col. 1:15).
He is the only "born" (Grk.
monogenh.j)
Son of God (Mat. 3:17; Mat. 14:33; Jn. 1:18; 1Jn. 4:9), conceived of the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin, Mariam (Lk. 1:26-35).
He is the Christ or Messiah (Mat. 16:16; Jn. 1:41), sent from God to be our Saviour and Redeemer (Jn. 8:42; Eph. 1:7; Tit. 2:14). He is called the Son of the Most High God (Mk. 5:7).
The teaching given by Yeshua was not his but the Fathers, who sent him (John 7:16-17, 12:49, 14:10, 14:24, 17:8).
He is given eternal life by the Father who alone possess it (John 5:26, 1Tim. 6:16).
He is the mediator between God and men
(
1Tim 2:5)
He was designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:4). In him dwelled the fulness of the Divine nature (Col 2:9), yet he had an independent will, sometimes not in agreement to the will of God the Father (Matt 26:39).
He is given the throne of David to rule over the House of Jacob (Lk. 1:32). He will reign until he has put all enemies under his feet. Then, he himself will step down and become subject to God the Father (1Cor 15:25-28).
The Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4) is that essence or power of God which Yeshua promised to send to the elect (Jn. 16:7). We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:17; Eph. 5:18) and led by the Holy Spirit which allows us to become Sons of God (Rom. 8:14; 1Jn. 3:1-2) and co-heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Gal. 3:29; Tit. 3:7; Heb. 1:14, 6:17; Jas. 2:5; 1Pet. 3:7).
It is given by God to those who ask (Lk. 11:9-13) and obey him, dwelling in those who keep God's commandments (1Jn. 3:24; Acts 5:32). The Holy Spirit is the comforter that leads God's servants into all truth (Jn. 14:16,17,26).
The Holy Spirit confers the power to witness (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit administers gifts as recorded in 1Corinthians 12:7-11 and has fruits as described in Galatians 5:22-23 not being given by measure (Jn. 3:34 RSV; Rom. 12:6).
