NOR I, 101G just believe God as to what he says in the scriptures.

to all,
understand, God did not Give his "PERSONAL" name in the OT directly. his name was to come when he MANIFESTED in flesh. supportive scripture, Isaiah 52:6 "Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I." shall KNOW? shall is a future tense designation. meaning they didn't know his personal name in the OT. but when he came in flesh his, his, his, people knew then.

and that DAY came. John 5:43 "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." he came in his "Spirit" NAME....... "JESUS". and just as he said, "and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." Oh how true.

Listen closely, Isaiah 43:10 "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me." Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."

plain as day he said, "YE are my witness, that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he " let's hear him, John 8:28 "Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things." one more, John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

CAN ONE GET ANY PLAINER?

PS. a Golden Nugget. when the Lord Jesus on Earth say, "MY Father, possessively, in heaven, he is saying "My Spirit which is in heaven. and when the LORD Jesus say from Heaven, "MY Son, possessively, on earth, he is saying "My Body" on earth.

I KNOW WHO I AM
I am God’s child (Rom. 8:16)
I am a light in the world (Phil. 2:15)
I am sealed by God (II Cor. 1:21-22)
I am bought with a price (I Cor. 6:19,20)
I am a saint (set apart for God) (Eph. 1:1)
I am a personal witness of Christ (Acts 22:15)
I have peace with God through Christ (Rom. 5:1)
I have been saved in order to bear fruit (Rom. 7:4)
I am a member of the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:27)
I am a citizen of Heaven living on earth (Phil. 3:20)
I am free from any charge against me (Rom. 8:31-34)
I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realm (Eph. 2:6)
I have access to God through the Holy Spirit (Eph. 2:18)
I am a minister of reconciliation for God (II Cor. 5:17-21)
I cannot be separated from the love of God (Rom. 8:35-39)
I am assured all things work together for good (Rom. 8:28)
I may approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph. 3:12)
I have been crucified with Christ and He liveth in me (Gal. 2:20)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13)
I am God’s temple (I Cor. 6:19). I am complete in Christ (Col. 2:10)
I have been justified (Rom. 3:24). I am hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3)
I am God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works (Eph. 2:10)
I am confident that the good work God has begun in me will be perfected (Phil. 1:6)
I am redeemed and forgiven (Col. 1:14). I have been adopted as God’s child (Eph. 1:5)
I belong to God. Do you know. Who you are?

Without Christ you are blind and lost (II Cor. 4:3,4), but the good news is, God loves you and Christ died to pay for your sins (I Cor. 15:3,4). The only question is, do you believe He died to pay for your sins, or are you still trying to pay for them in your own way, by doing good works? God says, “to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Rom. 4:5). Why not “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved”(Acts 16:31).

“GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION.”

In this same Epistle, we read in verse twenty-five of chapter twelve, “that there should be no schism in the Body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.” With this statement let us read Ephesians 4:4:

“THERE IS ONE BODY.” And let us also read I Corinthians 12:12 and 13.

“FOR AS THE BODY IS ONE, AND HATH MANY MEMBERS, AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THAT ONE BODY, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY: SO ALSO IS CHRIST. FOR BY ONE SPIRIT ARE WE ALL BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, WHETHER WE BE JEWS OR GENTILES, WHETHER WE BE BOND OR FREE; AND HAVE BEEN ALL MADE TO DRINK INTO ONE SPIRIT.”

Then note the question, in I Corinthians 1:13—“IS CHRIST DIVIDED?” There is one Christ. There is one Body of Christ. That Body is called, “the fulness of Christ.” In Ephesians 5:31 and 32, we learn that Christ and His Body are one flesh. They are called in Ephesians 2:15, “ONE NEW MAN.” Then we read in Ephesians 4:7 to 14, that every member of the Body is given grace to help in God’s work, “for the edifying (building up) of the Body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12. All the members of that one Body, who have special gifts, are:

“FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST: TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST.” Ephesians 4: 12 and 13.

“Unto a perfect man”, “unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.” God will accomplish His purpose. The Perfect Man will be a reality. The Body of Christ is the fulness of Christ. This is what God is doing during this age of grace—If you are a labourer together with God, this is what you should be doing.

Now it must be apparent to any intelligent spiritual Christian that God is not building two or three churches, to say nothing of two or three hundred churches. No; God is interested in completing His own one Building.

“In Whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In Whom ye also are building together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:21 and 22.

Now remember that God is not the author of confusion. But there is plenty of confusion. God’s desire is that there should be no division in the Body. In God’s purpose and program Christ is not divided. The Body is one. So also is Christ. Just as true as there is one God the Father, God recognizes but one Church in this age; and God does not look with favor and approval upon the sectarian churches of men. There is one Body, even as there is one Christ, the Lord, one Spirit and one baptism. God is building “One New Man”, and not 300 New Men, except as every member of the One Body has put on the new man.

God’s will is, that all the members of His one Church should believe and practice the truth of Ephesians 4:1 to 7; that they should recognize the seven-fold unity mentioned in those verses and keep the unity of the Spirit.

We emphasize the fact that all saved people are members of Christ’s one Body, members one of another, all one in Christ Jesus, with Him, “one flesh” and, “One New Man.” Romans 12:4 and 5—Galatians 3:27 and 28.

By one Spirit all believers are baptized into One Body. God’s will is, that there should be no division in the Body. The members of Christ’s Body are growing up into Him in all things, which is the Head, Christ. Ephesians 4:15. How many Christians give any heed to Colossians 2:19, “holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered and knit. together, increaseth with the increase of God?”

Members of Christ’s Body are labourers together with God. I Corinthians 3:9. Spiritual, intelligent. obedient believers will not create or contribute to confusion by labouring to build up a sectarian church. Sectarianism is confusion. God demands unity. God is not the author of confusion. But confusion exists. There are more than three hundred sectarian churches, with different denominational creeds and church programs. Think of the Christians who glory in “our Baptist denomination”, “our great Methodist church”, “our great Lutheran church.”

Most Christians are indifferent as to the pitiable state of affairs. Others see the malady, but they see no remedy. They say, “we are helpless”; “denominations will continue and any endeavor to better the predicament only makes it worse.” What a revolution would take place if Christians would learn and propagate the truth of Ephesians and Colossians.
