Let’s Get It Right

Sounds like a discussion
But there may not have been one
“Let us make Man”
Was before creation’s dawn.

Sounds like a conclusion
But that may not have been so
That’s how we would think
That the matter should go.

Sounds like a decision
And certainly a unanimous one
The first two were made
And from them all others were born.

That God is the Creator
Should be obvious to all
And that our parents’ transgression
Brought with it the fall.

“Let us make man”
To whom was God talking?
And concerning Adam and Eve
With whom were they walking?

You may want to argue
That God talked to Himself
But if such were the case
You would question his health.

There must have been somebody
That the “us” include
The Trinity is my position
That is what I conclude.

In the beginning was the Word
According to John chapter 1
In the beginning God
Created the very first dawn.

“Let there be light”
That’s what He said back then
Out of that first utterance
We have the where and the when.
  
So at the beginning of time
We have God and the Word
But there was another,
Yes, there was a third.

Who was that third person?
Okay, I will show him to you,
In order to find the answer
Just read Genesis 1 verse 2.

He was the Spirit of the Lord
Yes, a “he” and not an “it”,
The third person in the Trinity
That’s the Holy Spirit.

A truth we do not understand
But how else can we explain it?
These are three and yet the same
God, the Word and Holy Spirit.

He is the Spirit of truth
Just as Jesus had said,
Right there in John 14: 16 to 17
You'll see once you have read.

The world cannot receive him
Because it knows him not
But he indwells the believer
And cleans every spot.

For he dwells with you now
But he shall be in you then
Jesus had told his disciples
As they listened to him.

Another time he told them
That he must go away,
And to them he promised the Spirit
That came on Pentecost Day.

And since the Spirit has come
He guides us into all truth
Such that born again believers
Are the evidence and the proof.

The Spirit searches all things
Yea, the deep things of God,
None but him can discern them
Don’t be fooled by the Fraud.

Romans chapter 15 verse 30
Tells of his great love,
The love of the Spirit who like Jesus
Also descended from above.

The Spirit can be vexed
As in Isaiah 63 and verse 10
And we should not grieve the Spirit
Knowing we are sealed by him.

The Holy Spirit speaks
And Scripture shows he can hear,
There are many verses in the word
With you I can share.

Acts 13:2 is certainly one
1Timothy 4:1 is surely another,
If you have ears then heed the Spirit
Revelation 2 is a timely reminder

The Spirit is a helper
He helps us in our weakness
He testifies of Jesus
And he fills with his sweetness.

The Spirit of God 
Is the same Spirit of Christ,
Read John chapters 14 and 15
And this will suffice.

The Holy Spirit is a person
Just like God and the Word are,
Through him we were brought nigh
And now we are no longer afar.

He’s more than an active force
As some purport him to be,
He is in fact the third person
Found in the Trinity.

The Spirit is one with God 
He is one with the Son
And it will boggle our mind
But these three are one.

Image result for images for Genesis 1:26

In the beginning he was there
Along with God and the Word,
In the Bible we read
They created the world.

These three are involved
In making a sinner whole
The Father, the Word by the Spirit
Indwells every believer’s soul.
