FATHER, SON, AND SPIRIT: THE TRINITY
Ephesians 1:3-14
Every spiritual blessing is from the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit
As we finish our series on the attributes of God, we come to a central truth: the one God exists eternally in three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity challenges our minds but it can also bring awe and joy to our hearts. Because he is triune, God is overflowing with love, life, and goodness. This means reality is about love, not power, and that Christianity is ultimately an invitation into the love and glory God has in himself.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. What is your experience with the doctrine of the Trinity? How have you thought about it in the past?
2. What difference does it make that God is triune?
3. How can you enjoy the triune God in prayer, Bible reading, and more this week?
