Matt 11: 27 All things are delivered unto me by my Father, and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, except the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. God has always existed and has no beginning. He is everywhere at once, transcends time, knows everything including past, present, and future, can create out of nothing, is all powerful, knows what everyone is thinking and feeling, and is Himself a thinking and feeling being. This can only happen if our reality is in the mind of God. A God that has always existed must have and is creating many different realities, and ours is one of many. In our reality, God put a thinking and feeling being in it, and called him His Son. That is when time in our reality began. In a vacuum with nothing in it and nothing happening, there is no time. As soon as the event of His Son coming into existence happened, there now was a before, present, and after the event. Isaiah 43: 10-11 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he; before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even (that is) I, am the Lord, and beside me there is no savior. The Lord speaking must be the Son because there was no "before me" with God the Father. God the Father interacts with our reality through His Holy Spirit, which in Isaiah 63: 9-10 explains the Holy Spirit as the "angel of His presence". Angel because it can be sent, and where the Holy Spirit is, the Father is. The Father fills His first and only begotten Son with His Holy Spirit, which means that the Father is residing in the Son's being. The Son loves the Father and shows his love through obedience and acceptance even though his will might differ. The Father loves the Son and shows His love by creating our reality and making him Lord of all creation. The Son, filled with the Father's presence and power in the Holy Spirit, creates our reality with all things created. The Son is One with the Father because the Father's presence and power (Holy Spirit) is in the Son and the Son obeys. We will become One with the Father and Son when we receive the Holy Spirit which acts as a portal through which both Father and Son can enter our being, and we obey. The visible God (Jesus Christ) in our reality is the image of the invisible God (the Father). Col 1: 14-17 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even (that is) the forgiveness of sins; Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; 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; And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. The Father-Son relationship occurs twice: first, before creation and second, when the Son became a human. Heb 1 :5-7 For unto which of the angels said He at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again , I will be to him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son? And again, when He bringeth in the first-begotteen into the world, He saith, " And let all the angels of God worship Him. And of the angels He saith , Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire. When Christ became a man, the Spirit of God the Father, through which Mary's seed was fertilized, again resulted in Christ being born but this time as a human. The Father and Son relationship occurs a second time. Simply put, Jesus Christ is our Lord and our God because we are members of his spiritual body and are connected to him by the portal called the Holy Spirit, but the Father is the Lord and God of all, including Jesus, because the Father resides in Jesus and Jesus resides in us. This is the mystery explained by Paul in Col 1: 25-27 Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, Even (that is) the mystery which hath been hidden from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints, To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (the Holy Spirit). In John 17: 3, Jesus is praying to the Father and speaks of himself in the third person and says, " And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Those that receive eternal life know who the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are and how they are related to each other. My mission in life is to do the Father's will and spread this knowledge. Life eternal involves a true understanding which only comes from God through the Holy Spirit.
