- Doctrine matters because…
- We love God.
- Belief shapes behavior.
- It informs our worldview.
- We need to be equipped to explain what we believe and why we believe it.
This doctrine calls for…
1. Defining the Trinity
The Trinity Defined…
- There is one God
- The Father is God
- The Son is God
- The Holy Spirit is God
2. Defending the Trinity
-
- If Jesus isn’t God, His death did not atone for your sins.
- If Jesus isn’t God, you cannot be justified by faith in Christ.
- If Jesus isn’t God, He cannot answer your prayers.
- If the Holy Spirit isn’t God, you cannot trust His leading.
- Without the Trinity, there were no personal or intimate relationships before Creation.
3. Delighting in the Trinity
The Trinity displays the root of the reality that “God is love.”
Delight in the ways of a triune God!
