NUMBER THREE (3-14)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) 3 stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire. All things that are specially complete are stamped with this number. It is interesting to note what other mention(s) for 3 can be found in the Bible.

1. What 3 things does John assert about God?

a) In John's Gospel and Epistles:

i) "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16). We are therefore to "Walk in love" (Ephesians 5:2).

ii) "God is spirit" (John 4:24, Revised Version , margin). We are exhorted to "Walk in the spirit" (Galatians 5:16).

iii) "God is light" * (1 John 1:5). We are to "Walk in the light" (Ephesians 5:8).
* Light, like God, is three-fold. It has three great rays: -
  • The Heat ray (red), which is felt, not seen, witnesses of the Father, "whom no man hath seen at any time" (John 1:18; 1 John 4:12).
  • The Light ray (yellow), which is seen, not felt, witnesses of Jesus, who hath "declared the Father" (John 1:18, 12:45, 14:9; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:3).
  • The Actinic or chemical ray (blue), which is neither seen nor felt, but whose presence is revealed by its effects in a chemical action, which produces changes, as in Photography.
b) There are a multitude of Triads, and they all bespeak the same Divine perfection and completeness wherever they are found.
