GOD IS A SPIRIT God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24. 3.

II. Oneness of the Father and Son 1. GOD IS ONE LORD The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord. Mark 12:29. 2. THE SON AND THE FATHER HAVE EQUAL HONOR That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which bath sent him. John 5:23. 3.

THE LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? Matt. 22:43-44. 3.

THE COMFORTER TESTIFIES OF CHRIST But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father . . . He shall testify of me. John 15:26. 5. BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE SON FORGIVEN; BLASPHEMY AGAINST HOLY SPIRIT NOT FORGIVEN And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Matthew 28:20.
VI. Omniscience of God 1. NOTHING HIDDEN BEFORE GOD Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Matt. 10:26. 2. NOTHING FORGOTTEN BEFORE GOD Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Matthew 10:29. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Luke 12:6. 3. EVEN HAIRS OF HEAD NUMBERED But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matt. 10:30. 4. NOTHING HID BUT THAT IT SHALL BE MANIFESTED For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Mark 4:22. 5. EVERY IDLE WORD RECORDED But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Matt. 12:36. 6.

Matt. 10:42.
VII. The Father Commits Omnipotence to the Son 1. FATHER GIVES THE SON POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. John 5:21. 2. FATHER COMMITS ALL JUDGMENT TO THE SON For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. John 5:22 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. John 5:27. 3. FATHER GIVES THE SON POWER TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF For as the Father bath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself. John 5:26 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:18. 4.

VIII. The Son Came From the Father I. THE SON IS IN HEAVEN AND CAME FROM HEAVEN And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 3:13. 2. FATHER SENT THE SON INTO THE WORLD For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. 3. THE SON IS FROM THE FATHER Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he bath sent me. John 7:28-29. 4. THE SON IS FROM ABOVE—NOT OF THIS WORLD Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

THE SON CAME FROM THE FATHER I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. John 16:28. 7. THE SON CAME OUT FROM THE FATHER For I have given unto them the words which thou gayest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. John 17:8, 25.
IX. The Father in the Son Doeth the Works 1. THE FATHER AND THE SON WORKETH My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. John 5:17. 2. THE SON DOETH ONLY WHAT HE SEES THE FATHER DO Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:19. 3. THE FATHER SHOWETH THE SON GREATER WORKS For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. John 5:20. 4. THE SON DOETH NOTHING OF HIMSELF When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father bath taught me, I speak these things. John 8:28. 5.

John 14:10. 6. BELIEVE THAT THE SON IS IN THE FATHER FOR THE WORKS' SAKE Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. John 14:11. 7.

John 14:12.
X. All Must Come to the Father Through the Son 1. NO MAN KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON REVEAL HIM All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Matt. 11:27. 2. HE THAT SERVES CHRIST WILL THE FATHER HONOR If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. John 12:26. 3. HE THAT BELIEVES ON THE SON BELIEVES ON THE FATHER He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. John 12:44. 4. NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY THE SON I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6. 5. THE SON CHOOSES AND ORDAINS HIS DISCIPLES Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you. John 15:16. 6. HE THAT HATES THE SON HATES THE FATHER He that hateth me hateth my Father also. John 15:23. 7. YE SHALL ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.

THE SON SEEKS NOT HIS OWN WILL BUT THE FATHER'S I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. John 5:30. 4. THE SON CAME NOT TO DO HIS WILL BUT THE FATHER'S For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38. 5. THE SON DOES THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE THE FATHER And he that sent me is with me: the Father bath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29. 6. THE SON KNOWS THE FATHER AND KEEPS HIS SAYING Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. John 8:55. 7. THE SON PRAYS THAT THE FATHER'S WILL BE DONE Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. Mark 14:36.
XII. The Son Came to Speak the Words of the Father 1. THE SON'S DOCTRINE IS THE FATHER'S My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. John 7:16. 2. HOW THE BELIEVER MAY KNOW SON'S DOCTRINE IS THE FATHER'S If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 7:17. 3. THE SON SPEAKS WHAT HE HAS SEEN WITH HIS FATHER I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. John 8:38. 4. THE SON SPEAKS NOT OF HIMSELF BUT WHAT THE FATHER GAVE COMMANDMENT For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 12:49. 5. THE SON SPEAKS WHAT THE FATHER SAID And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12:50. 6. THE SON'S WORD NOT HIS BUT THE FATHER'S He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. John 14:24. 7. THE SON GAVE THE WORDS THAT THE FATHER GAVE HIM For I have given unto them the words which thou gayest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. John 17:8 I have given them thy word; and the world bath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:14.
XIII. The Son Came to Do the Works of the Father 1. THE SON CAME TO FULFILL THE FATHER'S BUSINESS How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Luke 2:49. 2. THE SON DOES THE WORKS THAT THE FATHER GAVE HIM But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father bath sent me. John 5:36. 3. THE SON DOES THE WORKS OF THE FATHER WHILE IT IS DAY I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4. 4. THE SON'S WORKS WERE FROM THE FATHER Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? John 10:32. 5. BELIEVE THE WORKS OF THE SON THAT YE MAY KNOW THE FATHER If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But, if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 10:37-38. 6. TO DISBELIEVE THE WORKS IS TO HATE THE FATHER AND SON If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. John 15:24. 7. THE SON FINISHES THE WORKS OF THE FATHER I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. John 17:4.
XIV. The Son Came to Reveal the Father's Name 1. THE SON DECLARES THE HALLOWING OF THE FATHER'S NAME After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

John 5:43. 3. THE SON DOES THE WORKS IN THE FATHER'S NAME I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. John 10:25. 4. THE SON INVOKES THE GLORIFICATION OF THE FATHER'S NAME Father, glorify thy name. John 12:28. 5. THE SON REVEALS THE FATHER'S NAME I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gayest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gayest them me; and they have kept thy word. John 17:6. 6. THE SON COMMITS THE DISCIPLES IN THE FATHER'S NAME And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gayest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:11-12. 7. THE SON DECLARES THE FATHER'S NAME And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:26.
XV. The Son Came to Seek the Glory of the Father 1. THE SON SEEKS THE GLORY OF THE FATHER He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own 'glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. John 7:18. 2. THE SON HONORS THE FATHER I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. John 8:49. 3. THE SON SEEKS NOT HIS OWN GLORY And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth John 8:50. 4. THE FATHER IS GLORIFIED IN THE SON Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. John 13:31-32. 5. THE SON DESIRES THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW HIS LOVE FOR THE FATHER But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. John 14:31. 6. THE SON SEEKS THAT HE MAY GLORIFY THE FATHER IN DEATH Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee. John 17:1. 7. THE SON GLORIFIED THE FATHER ON EARTH I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gayest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. John 17:4-5.
XVI. The Son Prays to the Father. 1. THE SON THANKS THE FATHER FOR HIS REVELATION TO BABES I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. Matthew 11:25-26. 2. THE SON THANKS THE FATHER FOR HEARING HIM ALWAYS Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. John 11:41-42. 3. THE SON PETITIONS THE FATHER IN HIS HOUR OF TROUBLE Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. John 12:27-28. 4. THE SON PETITIONS THAT THE CUP PASS IF POSSIBLE 0 my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. Matthew 26:39-42. 5. THE SON PRAYS FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE WHO CRUCIFIED HIM Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Luke 23:34. 6. THE SON CRIES ON THE CROSS THAT HE IS FORSAKEN OF THE FATHER Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?) Matt. 27:46. 7.

THE SON GOES TO HIM THAT SENT HIM But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? John 16:5. 4.

John 14:26. 3. I WILL SEND THE COMFORTER FROM THE FATHER But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me. John 15:26. 4. IF I DEPART I WILL SEND THE COMFORTER TO YOU Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:7. 5. CHRIST BREATHED ON DISCIPLES SAYING "RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST" Receive ye the Holy Ghost. John 20:22. 6.

John 16:8-10. 5. HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13. 6. HE SHALL GLORIFY ME He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:14. 7. YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER AFTER HOLY GHOST IS COME UPON YOU But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8.
