The question was not a sincere desire for truth but a reflection of hostility:
• "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly"
“Christ” is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew “Messiah” = ‘the coming One”; or “the promised One”

Something you are forced to believe has no power to save.
• Saving Faith must be a voluntary choice of the will.

EXPLORE THE PROOFS OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP
![Page 5: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Jesus gave convincing proofs…
• but they must be subjectively accepted.– It’s called FAITH
![Page 6: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
"The miracles I do in my Father's name speak" (v 25b).
• The Father would not reward an imposter with consistent success.
• These good deeds match the predictions of what the Messiah would do. – "...the Lord has anointed me to
preach good news to the poor...bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners..." (Is 61:1-2)
Calmed the stormy sea

"you do not believe because you are not my sheep"
• Jesus is saying that relationship conditions response to truth.
• By their own choices they have placed themselves outside his fold.
• Spiritual blindness is a consequence of our rejection of truth.
![Page 8: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Eternal Life which Jesus gives…
• …is something that no combination of outward forces can deprive them of.– "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"
(Rom 8:35-39). – This is not "unconditional" but rather it is a
security that is steadfast. • The power is in our own moral choice.• No other person, nor circumstance, can trump
our moral choice.

ACCEPT HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE FATHER
![Page 10: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
"My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all" (v 29).
• Personal "my".
• Relational "Father".
• Giver of gifts and privileges "who has given".
• Greatest "is greater than all" - including the Son.
![Page 11: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
"no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand."
• The greater gives to the lesser without losing a thing.
• The Father gives to the Son without losing control.

MARVEL AT HIS UNITY WITH THE FATHER
![Page 13: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
the THREENESS and ONENESS of God can be confusing.
• But His fingerprint is everywhere in nature:– Triangle (Three sides but one
triangle)
– Apple (Peal, meat, core)
– Egg (Shell, white, yoke)
– Tree (Roots, trunk, leaves)
– Water (solid, liquid, gas)

Let's establish some facts. • The Father, the Son and
the Spirit are God.
• The Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Father.
• The Father and the Son have a UNITY of relationship.

Let’s avoid the errors:
• Thinking of them as totally separate. – Tri-theism
• Thinking of them as one and the same person. – Modalism
• Thinking that by becoming one with Christ, we become God too. – Mysticism

We Can Conclude:

Jesus is God and is one with the Father.
• But he has come in the flesh.
• Jesus became our sacrifice on the cross.
• He is our pattern for living well.
![Page 18: NOT THREE GODS - JUST ONE John 10:22-33 FATHER SON HOLY SPIRIT](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e7f5503460f94b834e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
By a voluntary acceptance of who he is and what He does, we place ourselves within His sheepfold.
• He becomes our personal shepherd and gives us Eternal Life.
• No one can snatch us away.
