The Only One is Who He is

The only true God is who He is. The whole universe, every creature in heaven and on earth was created by the only true God.
The name, "I AM," is appropriate only to the only true God. No other things are who they are. The Most Holy Place is an everlasting home only for "I AM." There is nothing more, nothing less than "I AM."
The Word did not framed the worlds by itself, but "I AM" framed the worlds through the Word. It is written, "has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds." (Hebrews 1:2). And also, "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3).
Therefore, His Son has not spoken to us by himself, but He has spoken to us by His Son. He, not His Son, is the Lord of all things. He appointed His Son heir of all things. His Son did not framed the worlds by himself, but God framed the worlds through His Son.
The Word who became flesh is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He did not become flesh by himself. It is written, "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.'" (Hebrews 10:5).
The Word's Lord is the only true God. When the Word was with God, the Word was God who was with God. By the will of God "I AM," the Word became flesh, and became the only begotten Son of God.
Christ Jesus, the Son of God, did not become His Son by himself. He is the Son of God whom God "I AM" had begotten before all things, as it is written, "but it was He who said to Him: 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'"
God "I AM" is without beginning, but His Son is with beginning. His Son is not "I AM," but God "I AM" had begotten him.
Therefore, it is written, "Jesus said to them, 'If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me." (John 8:42).
Although Christ Jesus, the Son of God, did not come in his own name but was sent in his Father's name, many people are mistaken about him. Satan makes them misunderstand Christ as "I AM."
Those who think Christ came on his own cannot see the glory of the only true God. They cannot see the true glory of the one who sent him because of the false glory of the one who they think came on his own.
Therefore, it is written, "He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him." (John 7:18). And also, "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him." (John 5:43).
Therefore, it is written, "He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me." (John 14:24).
That's why the Bible says, "For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!" (2 Corinthians 11:4).
Another Jesus is the false Jesus who came on his own. Many people dislike Jesus who was sent, but like another Jesus who came on his own. It's because they seek their own glory instead of the glory of the one who sent Jesus. They received another Jesus who came in his own name instead of Jesus who came in his Father's name.
Therefore, it is written, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." (John 17:3). Thank you, Lord.
