ADDRESSING THE NATURE OF GOD
Last time during our weekly Bible study, Rose asked that we address the subject of God’s triune (Trinitarian) nature. Before we do that, we need to lay the proper foundation.
The first thing we must understand is that no human being, or any created being can fully comprehend God. The finite cannot fully grasp the Infinite.
God is far beyond our thoughts and understanding.
However, He has graciously revealed Himself in Scripture in a way that we can truly know Him, even if we cannot fully comprehend Him.
Before discussing the Trinity, we first need to understand what a person is.
A person is someone who can think, speak, love, choose, and relate to others. A person answers the question “Who?”, not “What?”
A human answers the question, “What are you?” A human being.
A person answers the question, “Who are you?” Isaac, Rachael, Rose, Mary.
With that understanding, we can better understand what the Bible reveals about God.
God is one devine being (“The What”). Yet within that one (what) divine Being are three distinct persons (“The Who’s”); the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
They are not three gods, but one God, same divine nature.
Each Person thinks, speaks, loves, wills, and relates to the others.
The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father because He reveals Himself differently to His creation manifest.
Therefore, when we speak of the Trinity, we are not saying God is three beings. We are saying God is one devine Being who eternally exists as three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son/Word, and the Holy Spirit.
