God's Oneness an Essence of Holiness though Love:

God is Trinity, with the Father's holiness reflected in the Son, and the Son's holiness reflected in the Father, and the holiness of both reflected in the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share the same divine nature of holiness, coessential for their oneness. This unity is the essence of the Trinity. Although God is one, He exists as three distinct divine entities, united in their bond of love. The Father and Son, through their eternal relationship of love, maintain the utmost holiness of their shared essence, the Holy Spirit, embodying everlasting unity and truth. Due to this eternal, divine love, they reside in each other, as stated in Scripture: "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves." (John 14:11, NIV)

From Trinity to Forming Quaternity:

Is humanity inherently individualistic or divisive? No one! Indeed, the Trinity, embodying God's utmost divine holiness through their bond of love, creates mankind in His image and likeness, reflecting this relationship of love. Thus, no one is born individualistic or divisive, as God desires humanity to live in divine holiness, united in the God of Trinity, and become one with Him, forming a Quaternity – a unity of four, as Jesus taught: "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." (John 14:23, NIV)

Love: An Essential Essence of Life:

Eden and later emphasized through the prophets. For example, the Ten Commandments, given through Moses, teach love: the first four emphasize loving God, while the remaining six focus on loving neighbours. When we love our neighbours, we will not: steal from them, commit adultery, covet their belongings, or falsely testify against them. Jesus reaffirms this, as recorded in Scripture: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbours as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.’ (Matthew 22:37-40, NIV)

Is God's Enduring Love Persistent?

Imagine! God's endeavour to teach love, from the Garden of Eden to the prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and His disciples, continues to emphasize the importance of living by the God’s religion of love. Therefore, it's time for those administering the 'Baptism of Water', empowered by the oath of love, to reflect: Are we as successful as John the Baptist in our mission? Are we united with the Trinity, forming a Quaternity? As Scripture reminds us: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5, NIV)

Listening to God, But Not Living It:

Listening to God, But Not Living It: The administrators of the 'Baptism of Water' can bear divine fruit of love, if they are united in Trinity, forming a Quaternity, otherwise not. To perform for God, it is essential to be united in Him, to ensure union of others in God through the 'Baptism of Water', to forming their Quaternity in Trinity. God's love and His religion of love can never teach individuality and divisiveness, then how are we divided in the boundary physical churches of materials? This shows our attitude that we listen and read words of God, but do not abide by it! We are receiving the 'Baptism of Water' by hearing the words of God; however, ignoring the promise made, at the time of our baptism, to sacrifice unrighteousness, and abide by the religion of love. Thus, far away from the Godly love and His religion of love we, are getting converted to such a religion of ideology: separatist, divisive and destructive to love. If heartfeltly we desire to

- unite in Trinity to form Quaternity like John the Baptist,
- unite with the only God and
- help people to unite Trinity to form Quaternity like

then we, separated in numerous churches worldwide, must heartfeltly accept the teaching of love by Jesus Christ, as His statement in this regard in recorded in the scripture: By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:35, NIV)

Patial Love: If we love only the members of our church and dislike, criticize, and hold prejudices against those from other churches and denominations, will our partial love be acceptable to God? This question is in line with the scripture: If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. (Luke 6:32, NIV)

Coupling of Unity and Love is Necessary:

For Godly love and unity, administrators of the 'Baptism of Water' must sincerely reflect on these questions: Are we united in the Trinity to form a Quaternity? Are we united in the one and only God? If not, then on what basis are we administering the 'Baptism of Water'? If yes, then why are we divided within the walls of physical churches worldwide? These questions are in line with the scripture: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (John 15:12, NIV)

We must not forget that Jesus tirelessly works to unite each one of us in the Trinity, to form a Quaternity, and continually prays to the one and only God, as His prayer is recorded in the scripture: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (John 17:20-21, NIV)

Therefore, we need to progress towards the perfection of love to unite in the Trinity to form a Quaternity; otherwise, we will continue to proclaim our self-righteousness, and instead of uniting others in God, we will keep those we baptize associated only with our physical church through their conversion. Therefore, let us focus on our own absolute holiness, rather than others', as stated in the scripture: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48, NIV)

Coupling of Unity and Love is Necessary:

For Godly love and unity, administrators of the 'Baptism of Water' must sincerely reflect on these questions: Are we united in the Trinity to form a Quaternity? Are we united in the one and only God? If not, then on what basis are we administering the 'Baptism of Water'? If yes, then why are we divided within the walls of physical churches worldwide? These questions are in line with the scripture: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (John 15:12, NIV)

We must not forget that Jesus tirelessly works to unite each one of us in the Trinity, to form a Quaternity, and continually prays to the one and only God, as His prayer is recorded in the scripture: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” (John 17:20-21, NIV)

Therefore, we need to progress towards the perfection of love to unite in the Trinity to form a Quaternity; otherwise, we will continue to proclaim our self-righteousness, and instead of uniting others in God, we will keep those we baptize associated only with our physical church through their conversion. Therefore, let us focus on our own absolute holiness, rather than others', as stated in the scripture: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48, NIV) As stated in Matthew 5:48 (NIV), this verse highlights God's immense love, which unites the Trinity despite being three distinct persons; meaning being one God, and being the one and only God, they are Trinity, as the scripture states: 'God is love.' (1 John 4:8, NIV) To unite with them and work for them, loving one another in their likeness is necessary, as written in the scripture: 'By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.' (John 13:35, NIV)

Therefore, we can fulfil God's work only by becoming His disciples, just like John the Baptist. This requires keeping the promise made at the time of baptism, which includes completely aligning our thoughts with God's, a topic we will explore in the next article.
