God In Three: An Overview of the Trinity
February 26, 2023 | John Durham
WE SPEAK FLUENTLY ABOUT THE GOSPEL, BUT NOT SO MUCH THE BEAUTY OF THE GOD WHOSE GOSPEL IT IS! PSALM 27:4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple.
- What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. AW Tozer
- Nowhere is a mistake more dangerous, or the search more laborious, or the adventure more advantageous than studying the Trinity. Augustine
EPHESIANS 1:3-14
GOD, THE FATHER VS3-6 INITIATIVES ALL DIVINE ACTION
(3 blesses, 4 chooses, 5 predestines, 8 lavishes grace, 9 makes plans known, 11 accomplishes all things)
GOD, THE SON VS7-10 ACCOMPLISHES OUR SALVATION
(In Christ we have 7 redemption, 8 forgiveness, 9 clarity, and a 10 mediator)
GOD, THE SPIRIT VS13-14 MAKES OUR SALVATION PERMANENT.
(The Spirit is 13 promised and a 14 guarantee of our inheritance)
YOUR PAST IS CHRIST’S PAST
YOUR PRESENT IS CHRIST’S PRESENT
YOUR FUTURE IS CHRIST’S FUTURE.
