Do You Believe in the Trinity?

PRAY OVER THIS

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

(Matthew 28:19)

 

PONDER THIS

Three is the divine number. We worship one God, but that one God has revealed Himself in three Persons. Matthew 28:19 says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” because our God is a triune God. When heavenly creatures praised the Lord in Isaiah 6:3, how did they do so? One cried unto another and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts.” Holy is the Father, holy is the Son, holy is the Spirit. And since man is made in the image of God, man is triune in his nature. First Thessalonians 5:23 says, “May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

There are also reflections of God’s triunity all around us. Space is height, width, and depth. Each is distinguishable from the other, but each is inseparable from the other. You cannot have height without width; you cannot have width without depth; you cannot have depth without height. All are part of the same, and all are inseparable, but all are distinguishable. And everything is not only made of space, but it also exists in time. Time is past, present, and future. Now, you can distinguish the past from the present and the present from the future, but you cannot separate them because they are all part of one seamless garment, and you cannot have one without the other. They all reflect the triunity of the Creator because three is the divine number.

Where else have you seen the number three in the Bible?

Why is it worth our time to try and learn the meaning of various signs and symbols throughout the Bible?

PRACTICE THIS

Take time today to thank God for His three-in-one nature as Father, Son, and Spirit.
