Try to Explain the Trinity and You’ll Lose Your Mind. Try to Deny It and You’ll Lose Your Soul

 

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord [Jehovah – The official name of God] our God [Elohim– plural], the Lord [Jehovah] is one. New International Version  

 

Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, …New International Version 

Matthew 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. 17 Then a voice said from heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased.” Good News Translation  

Function of the Trinity Concerning Our Redemption  

  • God the Father Planned It  
  • God the Son, Jesus, Preformed It 
  • God the Holy Spirit Reveals It and Seals Us 

Our Daily Interaction with The Personsof The Trinity  

  • God The Father: Love, Pray to, and Worship  
  • God The Son: Study the Word, Follow, Obey, and Worship 
  • God The Holy Spirit: Acknowledge and Yield To  

God the Father is to be Reverenced, Worshiped, and Approached  

God The Father LOVES You and is At PEACE With You 

Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified [Declared and made righteous] through faith, we have peace [He’s not mad at you. He took His wrath for our sin out on Jesus] with God [The word “God” in the NT is always referring to the Father] through our Lord Jesus Christ, … New International Version

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! New International Version  

Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. New International Version  

We Can Interact with God The Father By Approaching His Throne  

John 16:23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. New King James Version  

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. New International Version  

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock,and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. English Standard Version  

We Can Interact with God The Father By Worshiping Him  

John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” English Standard Version  

Revelation 4:1 Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. New Living Translation 

Revelation 4:6 In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back. The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. New Living Translation 

Revelation 4:8 Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, “Holyholyholy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.” New Living Translation 

Revelation 4:9 Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), 10 the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say, New Living Translation  

Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” New Living Translation  

Acts 16:25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. 26 Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!  New Living Translation
