 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
Today, many people pursue things that are vain and live wandering in the world because they do not know the true Deity who controls the origin of all things in the universe and governs all things on Earth. They live as what they please because they do not know where they came from, why they live on the Earth, and what they live for. Like a tree without roots, a person who does not know his own origin cannot help but live a life in vain.
However, those who know the origin of God the Trinity and how and why human beings exist can believe in God and fulfill the duty of man.
1. The Origin of God
John 1:1 talks about the God in the beginning, that is, the Origin of God. 'The beginning' here refers to the time when God the Creator existed alone over all universes. 'All universes' doesn't mean the space that we know in our own limits. Spread in the universe in the beginning, this space is much bigger than where we live and goes beyond our imagination. God the Creator existed alone there from before the everlasting.
Then, why does the Bible say "In the beginning was the Word" instead of "In the beginning was God"? This is because God did not exist in the form that He has now. In the beginning, He existed in the form of the Word. Then, He put on a certain form for Himself as His appointed time came.
Then, what did God look like in the beginning, specifically? God existed in the form of beautiful light and clear sound. He controlled the entirety of the original universe in the form of light that contained the sound. As 1 John 1:5 says, "… God is Light…" He surrounded the whole original universe with the light that contained the sound which is the word of God. At that time, He did not have any name or any likeness.
2. God the Origin Embraced the Plan of Human Cultivation
God, who existed in the form of the light and sound, embraced the concept of human cultivation at a certain point. Human cultivation can be briefly explained like this: God created human beings; He allowed for them to multiply on the Earth; He wants to lead those who resemble Him and come as His true children to the beautiful Heaven where He will live a happy life with them sharing love forever.
God divided space first. There was one original space, but He divided it into several spaces for the purpose of Human Cultivation. After dividing the space, a very important event happened. In the beginning, God the Origin had existed alone. But at that point He came to exist as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is like God the Father gave birth to God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says Jesus is the Son of God or His only begotten Son. Hebrews 5:5 reads, "…You are My Son, Today I have begotten You." God the Son and God the Holy Spirit came from God the Origin, so the heart and power are all one. (Philippians 2:6-7)
3. The Appearance of God the Trinity
God the Origin, who existed as the light containing the sound, cohered. Then, He divided Himself into three lights and came to exist as God the Trinity. Then, God the Trinity who are the Lights put on a form.
We can understand what kind of form He put on by reading His works of Creation. Genesis 1:26 says, "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"
'We' here means God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. According to the passage, we can know a man was created in the likeness of God the Trinity. It doesn't mean a man was created only in the image of God outwardly, but also the original heart of man resembled that of God and He created man as a spiritual being filled with the truth.
4. God Created Men to Gain True Children
God the Trinity put on a form and one by one they created things necessary for His plan for human cultivation. For example, when He existed in the form of the light and the sound, He didn't need a dwelling place. But after putting on a form, He came to need dwelling places and He needed the spiritual beings like heavenly hosts and angels that serve Him. So He made spiritual beings first in the spiritual space. After a long time passed, He created all things in the space where we are living now.
God didn't create the Earth and the space where we live immediately after He had created spiritual beings. God the Trinity had lived with the heavenly hosts and angels in the spiritual space for such a long time. Then, He finally created all things in the fleshly space.
Then, why did God create man even if He already had countless heavenly hosts and angels? This is because He wanted to gain true children. 'True children' here refers to beings that love God out of their free will, resemble Him, and share true love with Him through experiencing relativity.
Aside from a few heavenly hosts and angels, most of them obey the word of God unconditionally and serve Him like robots. Meanwhile, human beings can obey and love God from their free will. In other words, God had a plan for human cultivation and created the first man, Adam, to gain true children with whom He could share love from the depth of their hearts.
5. The Origin of Man
Genesis 2:7 reads, "Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Human beings are totally different beings from what Darwinists think they are. We are not evolved from a lower animal. We were created as spiritual beings that resemble the image of God from the start.
God created man in His likeness with dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. All things of man both in spirit and body come from God the Origin. Men are spiritual beings coming from above and have a spirit.
You might think that only your biological father is your father thinking 'He is my father through whom I was born.' But if you traced your roots, you would eventually find the first man, Adam, and you would also find that it is God who created Adam. So God is our true Father who created man.
6. The Seed of Life that God Has Given and Conception
God the Creator has given sperm to men and eggs to women. These are that are seeds of life. Through the power of God they contain everything needed to become men's organs and nerves. They are too small to be observed with the naked eye, but these seeds contain the appearance, habits, personality, and nature of the parents. So when one gives birth to a baby, the baby resembles not only the parents' appearances, but also their personalities.
People cannot give birth to babies with their own strength, but they can have a baby and give birth to him or her since God gives them the origin, the seed of life.
Conception or pregnancy belongs to God the Creator. Today, artificial insemination has developed, but it cannot create the seeds of life, that is, the sperm and eggs. Even with the extreme development of medicine, the creation of new life can be done only by the power of God.
Dear brothers and sisters,
I urge you to discover the power and divine nature of God the Creator by just looking around at things as recorded in Romans 1:20. Furthermore, I hope you will know the origin of God the Trinity and your origin. By doing so, I pray in the name of the Lord that you will receive answers to anything that you might ask.
