Basics I Keep Myself Focused On

I have certain basics I try to keep in my mind.
These basics are like 'word' 'templates' that keep me properly focused Biblically.
This helps when I read the Bible or read or hear from other speakers and writers.

It is so easy for my brain to revert back to basic cliche words, or statements, or interpretations.

So my first basic is Genesis 1:1 .. Elohim.
Any other word or name for God must first have this as the template.
Definition : We cannot grasp Elohim. He had no beginning. He is not human. He is beyond our ability to define. The Jews are correct on this. The Jews are 100% correct on how they describe "GOD".

Next is John 1:1 .. Word.
In my head I keep the phrase "Word made flesh" John1:14 .. which is Lord Jesus Christ .. which is Elohim inside a human.
So anytime I see or hear the phrase "Obey the Word" I avoid the legal 'works' side and focus on Elohim in flesh as my template.

The Gospel.
Gospel is the "good news". That is what it means.
What is the good news? Elohim, then Elohim in Jesus the human, then Elohim raising up that earthly body, then Elohim getting inside humans at Pentecost.
Understanding these three is what they understood at Pentecost by personal revelation from God. This is the template that the Disciples and Paul all pointed to.
That is the point of Malachi 4:5-6 "Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
Fathers to children -> Pentecost <- Children to fathers.
Forward to Pentecost .. then .. Back to Pentecost.

God's Son.
Son comes out from Father. Father is Elohim. What came out of Elohim?
When the 'Son' was on earth, we called Him Jesus. Jesus is not really the name. It is a bit meaningless and just a nice cliche word that is highly marketed.  The real word is closer to Yeshua. It is the Jewish word back then. Yeshua BarJoseph.  Yeshua, son of Joseph. However, we know it should be : Yeshua, BarElohim. .. Jesus SonGod.
In biblical Hebrew, a name of a person (even towns) was more than just a unique identifying title. It spoke of their calling or destiny. God often changed a person's name. Examples : Abram to Abraham. Jacob to Israel. Simon to Peter. Saul to Paul. All these mean something.
Jesus Messiah is Yeshua HaMashiach.
Yeshua, the son, means : Salvation and/or God of Salvation.
So, what came out of Elohim? Salvation .. or as I put it : The Plan of Salvation.
So, the Son is the Plan of Salvation being made human flesh, then death, then resurrected.. and maybe more. For short : The Plan

Christ.
This is the same as Messiah which is : Elohim in human flesh.. who is The Salvation Plan that came out of Elohim.

Lord.
The head. Every human style body has a head and the body under it. LORD is always the head. Without it the rest of the body cannot function.  
A weak example would be :It is like the master computer server.  The body is like a bunch of computers hooked to the master server that can only do what the head master server computer tells them to.
LORD is the boss.  LORD is Elohim in a form human homo sapien mammals can relate to. It is Elohim in LordFlesh form. 

Salvation.
Not blind to God. We are born not knowing God exists. Blind. We are born not knowing there is only one God. Blind. We are born with no way to communicate with God. Blind.
Blind also means Lost.
Salvation is The Plan opening our eyes to those three. 

Sin.
Unbelief by ignorance or by choice.
Every human is born in ignorance of God. That is normal.
Knowing about God and then calling it evil, is sin by choice.
Everyone is born a "sinner" or ignorant of God. Elohim does not hold that against us. That is normal.
"Sinning" is a word used to do wrong stuff when conscious knows better. I hate our languages.. but for now we are stuck with the word "sinning" .. not to be confused with "sin".  Ug.
God says everyone is born with the built instinct to know when they are hurting someone else in obvious ways. That is why God says He will fairly judge people that 'knew not the law'. (Romans 7)
This is why God answered the Disciples by saying that all the law and commandments rolled into two are : Matthew 22:36-40
"36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 
38 This is the first and great commandment. 
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
So if caveman Gor pops caveman Bor in the mouth out of anger, that is 'sinning'. If caveman Gor grabs Bor's wife and runs off, that is 'sinning'.  If caveman Gor bullies caveman Bor, that is 'sinning'. That is how God will judge all humans who never knew about God and His Plan.

So with these embedded within, I keep a clear mind to the templates of understanding when reading translations of Elohim's Plan with our terrible languages. Yes, I hate our languages when trying to talk about Elohim whom we can barely grasp at all. 

It's humbling being homo sapien mammals in comparison with the unfathomable Elohim.
So far, about all we know about Elohim is that Elohim exists, is the only God, and that Elohim has a Plan for a Kingdom based on glorified humans.
"Wait now! We know God is a healer!!" Yes.. but.. nothing will be healed in that Kingdom. etc...
Jesus, Yeshua, name is Salvation. Everything else must point to That. And That.. gave us the key stone template target Gospel good news.. Pentecost. That is really all we know.  One teeny speck of Elohim.

I'll add more words as they come to mind when reading Biblical things..

This is what I believe.. comma,
