The Church of God, New World Ministries believes the word of
God is the Foundation of Knowledge. Paul was inspired to write
in Eph. 4:4-6, “There is one body, and one Spirit, even
as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One
Lord, One faith, One baptism, One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.”
Contrary to what most believe; there are not many
roads that lead to salvation—but, only one. There is
only One Faith, Only One set of Doctrinal Beliefs inspired
by God.
It is the Church of God, New World Ministries’ goal to
lead you through these Doctrinal Beliefs to help you lay a firm
FOUNDATION for your Spiritual Growth and Development based
upon the Word of God.
Instructions
The format for this Mini-Course is similar to the
Ambassador College Correspondence Course which many of
the Churches of God have used as a pattern for their
Correspondence Courses.
Look up and carefully read in your Bible the
scripture references given in answer to the questions
asked. Comments following the questions elaborate on the
scriptures just read. That is all there is to it!
(These studies are based on the King James Version of the \
Bible, unless otherwise stated.)
The most fundamental need facing mankind is to recognize
the existence of God and to understand His Character,
Personality and His Master Plan. Mankind will continue to
flounder in a sea of tradition, myths, half-truths, and
lies without the TRUE KNOWLEDGE of the purpose of life,
and,until he gains an accurate and clear picture of his
Creator.
To lay the proper FOUNDATION of KNOWLELDGE you must come to
know Who and What God is. God is the eternal,
omnipresent, all-powerful, supreme creator and sustainer
of the entire universe. God is ONE, composed of spirit and
comprising a family revealed as presently consisting of
God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. God is a loving,
kind, merciful, being who wants to share His magnificent
existence by reproducing Himself through man. To learn
the TRUTH about GOD – Read On!
God’s Composition:
Let’s begin the study by determining God’s
composition. We know that man is formed from the dust of
the ground. (Gen. 2:7). Therefore, man is composed of
flesh and blood. But, God is not a man.
-
What is God composed of? (John 4:24.) God is
SPIRIT!
-
We know that beings composed of spirit, including
angels, are on a higher level of existence than we
humans are. (Heb. 1:7)
-
God has made angels spirits. But, are they on the
same level as God? (Heb. 1:4-6)
Comment: Angels were made lower than
God. They were created by God. There is none higher
than God. (Deut. 4:35); (Isaiah 45:5); (Rev. 1:11).
-
We have proven that God is Spirit. We have also
proven that God is the ONLY God, and above all else.
What else does the Bible say about God?
(Deut. 33:27),(Deut. 32:39-40)
Comment: The Bible says God
is Spirit, the Only God, Eternal, and Lives
Forever.
-
What does God look like? (John 1:18.)
Comment: Since no man has seen God
how can we know what he looks like? (Last part of
Verse 18). The Son has declared him. We can get an
idea of what God looks like from the Son.
One way Jesus declared the Father was through
Jesus’ presence on earth as a visible person.
What did Jesus say to Philip? (John 14:8-9).
-
What does Jesus look like in a glorified form?
(Rev. 1:13-16); (Heb. 1:3). Since Jesus is the
express image of His Father, the Father in His
glorified state must look like Jesus as described
in Rev. 1:13-16.
Is God A Trinity?
Christ constantly spoke of the Father during His earthly
ministry. He said the Father was greater than He. He
stated that what He taught He received from the Father.
What most professing Christians do not know is that God
is NOT a TRINITY, but actually is a FAMILY! This concept is incomprehensible to Trinitarians. But, ask some one to
explain the concept of the TRINITY. They say it is a
mystery. The concept of three-in-one is unexplainable
from the pages of the Bible. But, does the
Bible say God is a Family? Can you prove it?
Let’s see…
