“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” [1]
The key that opens the way to knowing God and understanding the Bible is Jesus Christ. When one bows before Him with faith and a humble heart and asks Him to reveal God via the Bible, He does.
“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.”
In the passage above, Jesus was speaking to people who wanted to kill Him. They had Scriptures, but Scripture did not have them. They had Scriptures but lacked a relationship with the Author of the Scriptures. When the God of the Scriptures stood before them in human flesh, they argued with Him and hated Him. Jesus effectively told them that the Scriptures testify that He is the Messiah.
“Then he said to me, ‘Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ And he said to me, ‘These are the true sayings of God.’ And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’” [3]
The marriage feast of people with God is a supper with the Lamb, that is Jesus Christ. The people who sit at this banquet table looked to the Lamb of God to save them while on the earth, now they are with Him for all eternity.
When John fell at the feet of the angel to worship him for revealing to him these amazing truths, the angel stopped him. The angel told him, “Worship God!” He explained to John that he too was a brother and servant of the TESTIMONY of JESUS. He stated a very important truth about the prophetic ministry for all who want to represent God to others. The truth is, “the TESTIMONY of JESUS is the SPIRIT of PROPHECY.”
May all we who use the Name of Jesus use His Name rightly! He deserves our praise, gratitude, testimonies, and worship!
