If you think on it……..we are all one of many parts of the Body of Christ.  We all have many gifts that contribute to the whole.  We are many, but we all belong to ONE GOD.

1 Corinthians 12: 13 “FOR WE WERE ALL BAPTIZED BY ONE SPIRIT SO AS TO FORM ONE BODY.”

Christ being the head of the body, we follow the ONE true GOD of grace.

ROMANS 5: 15 “FOR IF BY THE ONE MAN’S TRESPASS THE MANY DIED, HOW MUCH MORE HAVE THE GRACE OF GOD AND THE GIFT WHICH COMES THROUGH THE GRACE OF THE ONE MAN JESUS CHRIST OVERFLOWED TO THE MANY.”

So we are many who sin……..many who sin many sins!!  But thank YOU LORD…….for the ONE Cross!  There was ONE who died on ONE cross for your sins and mine…….

ZEPHANIAH 3: 17 “THE LORD YOUR GOD IS IN YOUR MIDST, JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR THE SINS OF MANY…….”

Ponder it…….because GOD chose HIS ONE and ONLY SON.  Yes, HE did……for me and for you friend.

But the only way to the Father, is through the ONE SON.  Many will balk at this……even some Christians.  Some want to believe that a good GOD wouldn’t ask that of us because that doesn’t seem fair.  But if you believe that the WORD is the ONLY truth then you have to believe what scripture says and they is no cherry picking around it…….

THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER, IS THROUGH THE SON.

There is only ONE at the center of all of life and our lives as we know it, because we are not at the center, although some people think so and act as if the world revolves around them.  There is……..

EPHESIANS 4: 6 “……..ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL WHO IS ABOVE ALL AND THROUGH ALL AND IN ALL.”

We have one faith, one baptism, and one hope, because we have only ONE redeemer……..

ISAIAH 47: 4 “THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IS OUR REDEEMER.”

There really is only ONE HOLY GOD……..the holiness in and of itself, sets HIM apart from all other gods you hear about.  HE is Sovereign above all and we should never neglect lifting HIM higher each day.

GOD IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD INCREASE, WHILE WE DECREASE.

John the Baptist claimed the verse in JOHN 3: 30:

“HE MUST INCREASE, BUT I MUST DECREASE.”

John the Baptist knew there was only ONE Messiah, ONE true word, ONE eternal GOD.  He believed too that he wasn’t even worthy to carry JESUS’ sandals.  John said this:

JOHN 3: 11 “I BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER FOR REPENTANCE, BUT THE ONE WHO IS COMING AFTER ME IS MORE POWERFUL THAN I.”

Today, take the time to read these words again……..the HOLY words are preserved for us even today so that we will learn what the ONE true GOD sacrificed for us, because above all, GOD loves us, like none other.  And make sure above all else, that you adore and glorify HIM…….because we are the many, HIS body of believers and HE is the ONE TRUE GOD of the universe!

Remind yourself today dear one………THAT YOU ARE LOVED BY THAT ONE HOLY GOD!

ISAIAH 6: 3 “AND ONE CALLED TO ANOTHER: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD OF ARMIES; HIS GLORY FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH.”
