So many have tried to solve it.
So many have failed.
They knew it was a mystery--
A mystery so hard to explain
A mystery forever
But who knows the mind of the Lord
Than the Lord himself?
The Trinity--One God, Three persona.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
God in three forms.
The Holy Trinity
Creation's point of view.
The nature of the Creator can always be determined in His creations in the same way we recognize the fingerprints of the potter in his art.
The universe encompasses all the creations. It actually is composed of two different words--'uni' means 'one', and 'verse' means 'sentence'. It also indicates that God actually created the universe in one sentence.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Notice that it covered the three major trinity of the creation namely time (beginning), space (heavens), and matter (earth). The three are not independent on one another. Each one cannot exist without the other two.
Space is the container of matter and no matter can occupy the same space in the same time.
The same trend goes with God Himself.
The Father is the thought behind everything.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
The Son is the manifestation and the image of the invisible Father.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15
I and the Father are one. John 10:30
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9b
And the Holy Spirit is the experience driven by the Son.
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26
Faith, Hope and Love
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
God can also be related to the three gifts that will remain. Since God will never fade away, the three can stand as a trinity same with God.
The Father. Faith begins from hearing the Word.
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17
The Son. Love is the manifestation of faith.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6b
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6b
The Holy Spirit. Hope is what you get because you received the faith.
But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. Galatians 5:5
The three will always stand as one.
The faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel. Colossians 1:5
We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:3
But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 1 Thessalonians 5:8
AMen.
ReplyDeletewritten wali para sa assignment ni berna. nkablog nuog ahat si tips. ahahaha
ReplyDeleteYour title drew my attention. It is also a title of a book from 2003. That is the year the Trinity was unveiled, which removed the mystery from the Trinity, contrary to what you have reported in your poem.
ReplyDeleteI know...almost all Christians still refer to it as a mystery, but rest assured it has now become one of the simplest of Church doctrines. I only wanted to set the record straight and let you know that God is still revealing to the Church, as He said in the Book of Daniel, knowledge will increase; that means for the Church also and we need to be aware. God bless.
well thank you George. :)you are absolutely right that knowledge will increase. i actually didn't reveal the trinity in this blog alone. the kingdom of God is not about talk but of power. the real meaning of the trinity is not found in writings. as God sent Jesus to the world as the eternal Word of God, he's actually in the flesh. as for the moment, we only know only about the surface of what's in the trinity. unless we put the trinity in action, we cannot possibly understand it as a whole.
ReplyDeletetake for example Jesus' prayer.
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me." John 17:20-21
only the trinity know himself fully. we can only fully know the trinity if we become a part of it by being one with Christ and with his chosen ones.
char..at last pang international na ang blog ni tips..HAHA
ReplyDeleteI will not try to convince you as it is your free-will to go on believing a mystery if you so desire.
ReplyDeleteThere is one thing you might help me with though. Since to myself, the Trinity has now become one of the easiest and simplest of all Christian doctrines to understand, what exactly is it about the Trinity that you consider as the mystery? Is it because you have been told no one can ever comprehend it? Is it because you do not understand how Jesus can be both God and man? Or perhaps you cannot figure out how God can manifest Himself in three different entities? I am just wondering why most people believe that God has never nor will ever reveal His Trinity to us. Thanks for any input.
By the way, you are right, Jesus is still residing within His physical nature. Do you know why? And why must He continue to remain as a Man, in His glorified body until He returns to this earth again?
Thanks for being interested, George. :)
ReplyDeleteWe all know ourselves more than we know anyone else. And of course, God knows us more than we know ourselves. Other people seems to be mysterious at times though we thought we know them. Same case with the trinity. We know God in the same way we know other person. We become one with Christ Jesus through baptism with his death.Since Jesus Christ is one of the trinity, are those one with Jesus also one with the Trinity? The Church is the body of Christ and Christ is the head. Jesus Christ ascended as a whole (body and head). I believe with all my heart that Jesus is God the Son, whom he sent in the world to take the punishment that was meant to be ours. I'll leave this up to you to understand.
Daniel 12:10 '...but those who are wise will understand.'
