Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the lord God. He who is and who was and who is to come. The Almighty (Ruler of All)"
God the Father is the Eternal Lord and Ruler of the past, present, and future. Without You I have nothing that is eternal, nothing that can change my life, nothing that can save me from sin. You are my reason for living. I honor the One who is the beginning and the end of all existence, wisdom, and power.
Just as God the Father finished the work of creation (Gen 2:1-3), so Jesus the Son finished the work of redemption (John 19:30), so the Trinity will finish the entire plan of salvation by inviting the redeemed into a new creation.
I am so thankful for Your Trinity. If You were not the Great Three in One, Father Son and Holy Spirit - we would be powerless and useless here in this world. You created us in the beginning to love and have fellowship with You. We broke that fellowship when Adam sinned but you planned for Jesus to come and redeem us.
If you were not also the Holy Spirit who abides in use and works through us, the truth and the saving grace would not be told and passed down through the generations. We would not and could not do it without Your abiding Holy Spirit.
That is how You are in the past, present, and future - the beginning, middle and the end: Alpha and Omega.
