The Trinity.
Wednesday, May 10, 2023Key Verse
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7
Text — 1 John 5:5-8
Message
The Bible teaches that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. God is one Being Who has existed eternally as three distinct personalities. As distinct persons, each functions in His own unique manner. They are so united that one never acts independently or in opposition to the others.
God the Father so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for the salvation of the world. Jesus came and became one of us to take the punishment that we deserve. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin. As Christians, He is our Helper and Divine Comforter. He lives in us to give us constant victory over sin, the devil and temptations.
This triune (Three-in-one) God hears us when we pray, understands us when we suffer, heals us when we are sick, preserves us from evil. You can freely express your thoughts to God and trust Him to hear you and understand. God is everywhere, He is not far away at all. Only sin makes Him go far away. Therefore, you must run away from every appearance of sin.
