My friend, in giving us His Son God emptied out the treasure house of heaven that we may be saved. In His Son is the fullness of Himself. In Him is the divine life of God, full of goodness and mercy, and wisdom, and love. "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;" (John 5:26).
The object of His great desire is in His church; but what makes up His church? Those who follow after His Son "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18). The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God. Where Christ is there also is His church. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20).
How sad it is today that the remnant church of God has rejected Christ as the head of the church. The condition of the Laodicean church is such that they are "... wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" (Revelation 3:17). How are they in this condition? Because they have forsaken Christ as the head of the church; they have accepted the false Christ of the trinity in place of the true Son of God in Jesus Christ, and as such they do not have the righteousness of Christ. This is why Christ says "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." (Revelation 3:18).
The doctrine of the trinity has blinded the people of God to their true condition before Him. It has the outward appearance of God but in reality is not, for it denies that the Son is truly the Son of God. "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:" (1 John 2:22, 23).
My friend, it is time to look away from the false god of the trinity unto the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:11, 12), "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;" (John 5:26).
May you receive the fullness of the love of God in His Son today.
God bless,
