2. in the names of three divine beings.
In part 1 of this study, we learned that Jesus said that life eternal is knowing The Father, as The ONLY TRUE GOD and Jesus Christ, Whom HE has sent.
He also said, to search The Scriptures; for in them men think they have eternal life: and they--The Scriptures are they, which testify of Him.
He, who believes on Christ Jesus has Eternal Life. For He is The Living Bread of Life, Which came down from heaven.
If any man eat of Him, to receive Him, Jesus said, “he shall live forever”, for The Bread and Drink He has given to us is His Spiritual flesh--The Meat of The Word, and The Drink is His Spiritual blood--The Life of The Word, Which He give for the life of the world.

He made it clear that he that eats of His Flesh, and drinks of His Blood, dwells in Him, and He in him. This reveals clearly Who it is that dwells in us.

3. in the names of three divine beings.
Ellen G. White wrote and said that she wish to impress upon us the fact that those, who have Jesus abiding in the heart by faith, they have actually received The Holy Spirit.
When many of His disciples turned away from Him, because His sayings were hard for them to digest, Jesus asked His twelve disciples if they also would go away? And Peter said,
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have The Words of Eternal Life. And we believe and are sure that You are That Christ, The Son of The LIVING GOD.
In His prayer to The Father, Jesus declared that He has manifested The Father’s NAME unto the men, which HE gave Him out of the world: HIS they were, and HE gave them to Him; and they have kept HIS Word.

4. in the names of three divine beings.
“Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings” (Hebrews 2:7-10).

“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:10-14).

6. in the names of three divine beings.
Notice what Jesus has revealed to us in His words through Paul’s ministry of GOD’S Word to the Hebrews.
Notice that one in a certain place raised the question to GOD, saying, Why are YOU mindful of Him--The Son of Man? That YOU visit Him?
The questioner continued saying, YOU made Him a little lower than the angels: YOU crowned Him with glory and honor, and did set Him over the works of YOUR Hands.
YOU have put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that YOU put all in subjection under Him, YOU left nothing that is not put under Him. But now we see not yet all things put under Him.

Notice that all things were in subjection under the feet of GOD’S Son, but the questioner noted that there was something not yet under His Feet.
What was this thing that had never been in subjection under The Feet of GOD’S Son? The questioner said…

7. Why was He never in subjection to the suffering of death?
But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of GOD should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Notice that the thing that was never in subjection under The Feet of GOD’S Son, was the suffering of death.
Why was He never in subjection to the suffering of death?
He was crowned with glory and honor. GOD did set Him over all the works of HIS Hands. HE did put all things in subjection under His Feet. And had left nothing that was not put under Him.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)” (1John 1:1, 2). “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself” (John 5:26).

9. in the names of three divine beings.
Notice the reason that The Son had never been in subjection to death. It is because He, Who was with The Father before the beginning, before GOD created all things by Him, He like The Father has Life in Himself. For He is Eternal Life.
He, Who is Eternal Life with The Father, He had never been subjected to death from being separated from His Oneness of nature and Character in Expressing The Father’s Glory of Life.
But in order to bring many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of our salvation perfect, He by the grace of GOD would taste the suffering of death for every man.
But how could He taste death when He is Eternal Life to all, who are sustained in Life by Him, Who is GOD’S Gift of Life.

10. in the names of three divine beings.
“Probably the most widely held Christian view of God is known as the “trinity.” This popular belief teaches that the Godhead consists of three distinct persons who have existed together from eternity past and are named the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Each one possesses original, underived, and unborrowed life. They are all equally God and are one in nature, character, and purpose. They are not three “gods,” but one God in a combination of the three distinct persons.” (The Trinity)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:1-3). “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26, 27).

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]” (Hebrews 10:5-10).

He could not have done this as God, but by coming as man Christ could die. By death He overcame death. The death of Christ bore to the death him who had the power of death, and opened the gates of the tomb for all who receive Him as their personal Saviour.” (Lift Him Up, Page 345)

Not alone at the Saviour's advent, but through all the ages after the fall and the promise of redemption, "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself." Christ was the foundation and center of the sacrificial system in both the patriarchal and the Jewish age. Since the sin of our first parents, there has been no direct communication between God and man.

He manifested to men The Father’s Glory. His work was to deny self in every way to give all Glory to The Father, WHO was being revealed through Him to men.
As The Word of GOD, He came to His prophets, and through them, He revealed The Father’s Will to the father’s of the people. The Father was in Him, and He--The Word was in the them--His prophets, who were of flesh and blood that received Him, to speak GOD’S Will to the people.
