"To Know God More"
Eternal Jesus came from above.
The Word in flesh spoke God's love.
He left glory to be as we are
to bring the Father from afar.
Hell in fear when Christ walked the Earth.
His mission to save and give us new birth.
Jesus - the Christ and Anointed One,
was God in body, formed in one.
Equal to God, yet made into man,
humbled Himself to nails in His hand.
His precious blood shed for us all.
He became curse that came from the fall.
Then He rose from the dead; Conquered the grave.
The old rugged cross had the power to save!
Jesus - the Word, and so we read.
The Living Bread - our food we need.
The Father and Son share glory together.
We're one in God and one forever.
Bride and groom in unity
is liken three in Trinity.
A Holy covenant made from two;
Marriage is one as God is, too.
The Spirit comes from Father and Son;
The breath of life to everyone.
The Father in Christ, and Christ in Him.
All saints one, and one in Them.
The Holy Spirit revealed to me
as much as He opened my mind to see.
The deep things of God - a mystery.
The Spirit knows Him, entirely.

The TRINITY - Godhead - 3 in 1
(God is three persons in one: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit, and the indwelling of the Christian is by all three - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.)
*No man, not even the angels in heaven, can completely know/understand or does know God fully - only the Spirit.
God is Incomprehensible:
No one can know God’s thoughts, except God’s own Spirit.
No one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.
(1 Corinthians 2:11)
God is Unsearchable:
Even the angels are learning from us. (Eph. 3:10; 1 Pet. 1:12)
God is Holy, Immortal, Incomprehensible, Infinite, Invisible, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Self-existent, Spirit, Unapproachable, Unchanging, Unfathomable, Unimaginable

*The Lord hath possessed me in the beginning of his way: I was before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, and before the earth. When there were no depths, was I begotten, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled: and before the hills, was I begotten. He had not yet made the earth, nor the open places, nor the height of the dust in the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there, when he set the compass upon the deep: When he established the clouds above: when he confirmed the fountains of the deep: When he gave his decree to the sea, that the waters should not pass his commandment, when he appointed the foundations of the earth. Then was I with him as a nourisher, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him. And took my solace in the compass of his earth: and my delight is with the children of men. (Proverbs 8:22-31)

(Proverbs 8:22-31)
*(Footnotes: Geneva Bible-GNV: The use of this ministry is perpetual so long as we are in this world, that is, until that time that having put off the flesh, and thoroughly and perfectly agreeing betwixt ourselves, we shall be joined with Christ our head. Which thing is done by that knowledge of the Son of God increasing in us, and He Himself by little and little growing up in us until we come to be a perfect man, which shall be in the world to come, when God shall be all in all. Christ is said to grow up to full age, not in himself, but in us. (Ephesians 4:13)
