Coupled with God’s desire for us to seek out mystery is the truth that we are not meant to fully grasp every part of God and Christianity. Part of the beauty of our relationship with an omnipotent, omnipresent, and eternal God is that there will always be parts of him that are a mystery to us. How God has always existed and is both three and one are paradoxes too great for comprehension. We must simply trust the truth of Scripture for what it is at times and not dwell on that which we cannot attain. We must reconcile only that which is intended to be reconciled. May you search out all the mysteries opened to you by the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit who dwells within you, while at the same time enjoying all the unknowables meant to stir up awe and wonder within you.

Yes, I have questions. of awe and wonder regarding “How can this be”. The mystery of the three-in-one: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit being all in one – God. There was a plan way before time: A detailed decision of what They were going to do. It was designed by them – each one with an outline to save mankind from Adams sin; the sin separating us from God – God’s son, Jesus, coming from above to shed his blood for us (without the shedding of blood there is no sacrifice) – blood had to be sacrificed as in the Old Testament, sacrifices were to be made of spotless animals or doves before the cleansing of life. Jesus had to become the lamb sacrificed and the shedding of His blood for our sins. After Jesus dying for us and then being resurrected in us so that we may have eternal life, He promised not to leave us alone. The Holy Spirit, who dwells within you, was sent to help guide and direct our lives back to God. That is a big mystery and causes ‘wonder and awe’ in me. This is an unknowable I must trust the truth of scriptures and leave the unknowables in the plan of God. He is worthy of my trust.
