Ep 2. Defining Christian Worship - Christian Worship & the Trinity


Listen Later

rinity means that God is three in One. Throughout Scripture we have evidence of the oneness of God as well as the three persons of the Trinity and their different Roles. The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 explains it this way “The Eternal triune God reveals himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.” This is one of the hardest concepts for us to understand. There are systematic books and other resources available that help us understand a little bit more but it is still a mystery that one day when we meet the Lord we will be able to attain it in its fullness.

But for now, we know that God presents himself in three persons. Each of them have different roles but all of them share the same essence, meaning the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are God. So when it comes to worship, each of the persons of the Trinity has a specific role that without it, we are not able to worship.
