Trinity- Life Group Questions

Athanasian Creed (Selection)
That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity,
    neither blending their persons
    nor dividing their essence.

Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

This week we look at the mystery of Trinity. God who is one in unity through love, purpose, and relationship but who is plural in the sense of uniqueness and otherness. God is love and love requires an “other” to love. At the center of the God head is unity in relational love. Jesus prayed that we would be one as God is one in John 17.
