Jesus Christ revealed to mankind the nature of the Godhead who rules over this earth. As contrasted with the Old Testament, which repeatedly spoke of many Gods , as is illustrated above, the New Testament, as a result of Jesus's teachings, focuses on the three divine beings who govern this earth: God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

Any effort to respond to criticism, slander or misrepresentation is weighted in favor of the critic.

We cannot help pouring out our heart in affection for our Lord who inclines His ear from the highest glory, and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose failing heart longs after reconciliation. How can we but love Him when we know that He numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and orders our ways? Specially is this great truth brought near to our heart, when we recollect how attentive He is, not merely to the temporal interests of His creatures, but to their spiritual concerns.
