We consider the third key foundation of the doctrine of the Trinity: Scripture distinguishes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We find this distinction is grounded in their eternal relations of origin. The Son is eternally begotten of His Father. The Holy Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son.

In his letter to Philemon, Paul acts as mediator to restore the relationship between Philemon and Onesimus. This reminds us of way our Lord Jesus serves as our mediator with God.

We continue to explore John 3:16. What does it mean to believe in the only begotten Son?

We consider the second key foundation of the doctrine of the Trinity. Scripture identifies the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each as the one and only God.

We are exploring the three key Biblical foundations that undergird our doctrine of the Trinity. Today, we consider the first foundation: monotheism. Scripture declares that there is only one God. There is one divine being, substance or essence.

We conclude our studies in Jude's epistle with a reflection on the eternality of God. God is who he is, "before all time, and now and forever."

We continue walking through the "Golden Verse", John 3:16, and consider the Deity of the only begotten Son of God.
