The mystery of the Holy Trinity: God-in-relationship.


The mystery of the Holy Trinity: God-in-relationship.
Trinity Sunday is observed on 26 May 2013.

Our confession of the Holy Trinity is not about asking a mathematical question about how 3 can be one and one can be 3. Because it is a divine mystery.

No, the Holy Trinity has been revealed to show us the essence of the character of God!  Once we are aware of this mystery, it should bring us to worship, to being in awe of our God and to heartfelt reverence!
At the centre of God’s character is that he is a relational God. The essence of God is that he, from all eternity, exists as God in the relationship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God – the one and only true God.

The Holy Trinity, meaning in essence God-in-relationship, desires us to share in the Lord’s inner peace, harmony and fellowship.
The Father created us for this purpose
 and the Son came to recreate for us this harmony, by giving his life to take away the sin that stands between us and God.
The Holy Spirit was sent to live in us to grant us faith and power in order to have a relationship with the Father through our relationship with the Son.

Amazing love! We are invited into the holiest place, into the peace, harmony and love of God-in-relationship and as such share in the glory of his joy and gladness.
