Our Triune God

April 12

When we speak of the Holy Spirit, we know we are discussing the Third Person of the Trinity. Christians believe that our Triune God is, in the essence of Himself, three persons in One Holy Being.

He is the Father God who we envision as filling eternity. He is the Son of God who came to earth to pay the penalty for man’s sin. He is the Spirit/Breath of God, by whom all worlds were fashioned and all men’s hearts are drawn to Himself.

Our Father God is said to inhabit in eternity (Isaiah 57:15). Jesus, the second Person of the Trinity is the Living Word of God who was with God, and who was God in the beginning (John 1:1). The Holy Spirit of God, “…moved upon the face of the deep at creation (Genesis 1:2). When we understand the unity of this holy, triune Being, we realize the veracity and power of the Bible, His love letter to man.

As Paul states in his letter to his young protégé, “The Bible is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that God’s man may be fully equipped for every good work (II Timothy 3:16-17). Let us honor the Father. Let us embrace the finished work of the Son, our Savior. Let us respond to the wooing of the Holy Spirit—that each of us may follow as He leads.
