The Name of God

Part III

Yes, if you do not believe that I Am He, you will die in your sins.

   Lord, through our little knowledge it is difficult to understand your kingdom. But Lord, send us your Spirit to give the wisdom from above. “Where I am going, you cannot come?” ‘ Jesus went on: You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I have told already: You will die in your sins. Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.’ (Jon.8: 22-24)In this passage, Jesus states that if we do not believe that his name is I Am He, we will perish in our sins. Yes, Lord, we believe that you and your Father are the same God. Jesus often stated that he is the one and only Son of God who descended from Heaven. Still, we new Israelites do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and their faith wavers. But we must accept the Truth in our faith. The Word of God is the Truth.‘Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth’. (Jon. 17: 17) When we encounter God and become spiritual, we always ask ourselves, "Is God true or exists in this universe?" When we discover that the Truth is Jesus, and that he will be our God, we shall abandon any human-created gods or other cosmic powers in order to obtain earthly joys and benefits. Only then can we start to understand the God the Trinity. ‘And eternal life is this to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent’. (Jon. 17: 3) Lord, let me surrender myself to you and hold me in your arms.
