YHVH IS ECHAD

APPENDIX TO STATEMENT OF FAITH

THE 13 PRINCIPLES OF A MESSIANIC BELIEVER

PRINCIPLE NO. 5

YHVH IS ECHAD:  I believe the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God of Israel, is ECHAD or אֶחָֽד. As we say in the Shema, "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE." YHVH is ECHAD, a unity of three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. ECHAD is a unified oneness, a composite unity, known as The Holy Trinity by all disciples of Yeshua.  And Yeshua is the Son who descended from Heaven, sent by the Father whose Presence is eternal and without form.  Yeshua is the Word made flesh who came to dwell among us about 2000 years ago.  Yeshua was with YHVH in the beginning and is the Aleph and the Tav, (the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet), the beginning and the end.  He died for our sins and rose three days later.  Forty days later, he ascended to heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us as our High Priest and Mediator in the Tabernacle of Heaven.  Ten days later, He sent the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to speak the truth and to testify about Him to His faithful ones on Earth.
