Faith in the One God According to the Teachings of Lord Jesus
What is the ultimate purpose of faith in the one God?
According to Christ’s teaching, it is that we all may become one with the Father in the Son through the Holy Spirit—with the Father in the Son because of His union with us, and in the Holy Spirit as the bond of spiritual love.
Monotheism in Christianity, as taught by the Lord Jesus, is “to gather into one the scattered children of God” (John 11:52). Note, beloved, that He was speaking at that time about the cross. He was “lifted up” on the wood of the cross—“and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). He was “lifted up” on the cross in order to “ascend into heaven” (Acts 1:9). He ascended, entering the cloud of divine glory (the Shekinah), glorified as the second Adam on Mount Tabor, revealing the life of the age to come.
Unity here begins by self-renunciation—by rising through self-emptying love to that which is higher than oneself. It continues by accepting God’s greatest revelation of Christian unity: humility, then self-giving, which leads to the glory of the resurrection and the life of the age to come, when God becomes “all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:28). All things culminate in perfect oneness, rooted in the unity of the Divine Essence, which preserves the differences among human beings as sacred in love, so that all may grow into “the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13) in complete unity—after the Lord Jesus removed from humanity the thorn of sin and death, which had turned human differences from a source of richness and growth into a source of conflict and strife due to the absence of love.
And thirdly, by His entry into glory in His human nature after passing through the gate of death, trampling down hell on the cross, descending there in victory, breaking down the barriers, and rising by the power of life, so that He might carry these “spoils” with Him to heaven and deposit them in the Holy of Holies, that the Spirit of the Father might distribute them to those who believe in Him and give all these gifts to the Church (Ephesians 4:8–13).
