Chapter 3 - WHO IS THE TRUE GOD?

"JEHOVAH OUR GOD IS ONE"

The ancient Egyptians worshiped many gods, but Jehovah is "a God exacting exclusive devotion."  (Exodus 20:5) Moses reminded the Israelites that "Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."  (Deuteronomy 6:4) Jesus Christ repeated those words.  (Mark 12:28, 29) Therefore, those who accept the Bible as God's Word do not worship a Trinity consisting of three persons or gods in one.  In fact, the word "Trinity" does  not even appear in the Bible.  The true God is one Person, separate from Jesus Christ.  (John 14:28;  1 Corinthians 15:28)  God's holy spirit is not a person.  It is Jehovah's active force, used by the Almighty to accomplish his purposes. -Genesis 1:2; Acts 2:1-4, 32, 33; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.

When you consider how wonderful Jehovah is,do you not agree that he deserves  your worship?  As you study his Word, the Bible, you will get to know him better and will  learn what he requires of you for your eternal welfare and happiness.  (Matthew 5:3, 6)  In addition, your love for God will grow.  That is fitting, for Jesus said:  "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength."  (Mark 12:30)  Obviously, Jesus had such love for Jehovah.  But what does the Bible reveal about Jesus Christ?  What is  his role  in Jehovah's purpose?
