The Holy Trinity

That there are three persons in the Godhead but they are only one God (I John 5:7). While it is a mystery to man, the doctrine of the Trinity is clearly taught in the New Testament. The baptism of Christ (Matthew 3:16,17) In the baptismal formula (Matthew 28:19) The apostolic benediction (II Corinthians 13:14) Christ Himself teaches it (John 14:6) The New Testament sets forth a Father who is God (Romans 1:7), a Son who is God (Hebrews 1:8; Titus 2:13), a Holy Spirit who is God (Acts 5:3, 4).      

That this one triune God is perfect in His: Holiness (Leviticus 11:44, 45; I Samuel 2:2; Psalms 99:9; Isaiah 6:3) Righteousness (Psalms 50:6; 111:3; Isaiah 51:8; Matthew 6:33) Faithfulness (Psalms 36:5; Lamentations 3:23; I Corinthians 1:9; I Thessalonians 5:24; Revelation 19:11) Mercy (Numbers 14:18, 19; II Samuel 24:14; I Chronicles 16:34; Psalms 103; Lamentations 3:22) Love (Psalms 146:8; Jeremiah 31:3; John 3:16; I John 3:16; 4:8-19)      

That He is: Omniscient (having all knowledge) (Job 37:16; Proverbs 16:3, 11; Psalms 139:1-6; 147:4, 5; Hebrews 4:13) Omnipotent (having all power) (Job 37:23; Psalm 147:5; Isaiah 40:21-26; Matthew 28:18; Romans 13:1; Revelation 19:6) Omnipresent (everywhere present) (I Kings 8:27; Psalms 139:7-10; Isaiah 66:1; Jeremiah 23:23, 24) Eternal (having no beginning or end) (Psalms 41:13; 90:1; 102:12, 24-27; Isaiah 44:6; Romans 1:20) and The Creator and sustainer of all things (Genesis 1:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Job 38:4-10; Psalm 104:2-6; Isaiah 40:12; John 1:1-3; Revelation 4:11)      

That man’s approach to God should always be with reverence and fear. The levity of God’s people concerning God and His word is abominable and is one reason for the lack of power in Christian work today. (Deuteronomy 4:10; 5:29; Joshua 24:14; Job 28:28; Psalms 2:11; 15:4; 19:9; 34:7; 89:7; 99:1; 112:1; Proverbs 1:7; 8:13; 10:27; 15:6; Isaiah 8:13; 33:6; Jeremiah 5:22; Hebrews 11:7; 12:28)
