Pt. 3 God In Three Persons
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, The name The Father (hmm not names? ) The Son The Holy Spirit
The Trinity is a very perplexing subject. And no wonder; I for one should be very much surprised if when the truth about God is reached we should not find something which is very perplexing to human minds and something which betrays the poverty of human speech.
I expect the truth about the infinite God will always tax the fullest resources of finite minds and tongues and still leave men wondering, pondering and adoring. Robert Drummond
The important point is not whether we can understand the Trinity, even with the help of illustrations, but whether we will believe what the Bible has to say about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and about their relationship to each other. James Montgomery Boice

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds? Acts 5:4 Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.
The Father Is God The Son Is God The Spirit is God There is One God. Tri Unity Trinity- There is one God who exists in three persons. And there are 3 distinct persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit); each is fully God.
If there be one God subsisting in three persons, then let us give equal reverence to all the persons in the Trinity. There is not more or less in the Trinity; the Father is not more God than the Son and Holy Ghost. There is an order in the Godhead, but no degrees; one person has not a majority or super eminence above another, therefore we must give equal worship to all the persons. - Thomas Watson
Matthew 3:16-17 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

Genesis 11:7 The LORD said Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech. Isaiah 6:8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
We can never understand how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can be three and yet one. For my part, I have long ago given up any desire to understand this great mystery, for I am perfectly satisfied that, if I could understand it, it would not be true, because God, from the very nature of things, must be incomprehensible. - Charles Spurgeon
We believe the world was made by a God who is a community of persons who have loved each other for all eternity. You were made for mutually self-giving, other-directed love. Selfcenteredness destroys the fabric of what God has made. Tim Keller
Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name you; While in essence only one, undivided God we claim you. Then, adoring, bend the knee, and confess the mystery. Ignaz Franz s Holy God- We Praise Your Name
