Trinity Sunday - The “Athanasian Creed”

^{“Athanasian Creed” Excerpts:} 

^{For the person of the Father is a distinct person,
        the person of the Son is another,
        and that of the Holy Spirit still another.
        But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one,
        their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.}

 ^{The Father was neither made nor created nor begotten from anyone.
    The Son was neither made nor created;
    he was begotten from the Father alone.
    The Holy Spirit was neither made nor created nor begotten;
    he proceeds from the Father and the Son.}

^{In God’s nature as the Trinity:
God does NOT want to confuse you.
God DOES want to reveal himself to you.
God DOES want you to know him.}

^{It’s OK to not understand God.} 

^{“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!". Romans 11:33.}

 ^{God wants to reveal himself to you.
“in the Trinity, there’s one ‘what’, but three ‘who’s.’”
 Don’t get so stuck on the WHAT of God, that you miss the WHO of God.
The Trinity is God revealing Himself through… (all can be one slide)}

^{the Father creating and protecting YOU
the Son whose death and resurrection is for YOU.
the Spirit who brings life to YOU.}  

^{God does wants you to know him.}

^{I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord (8)}

^{I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him  (Phil. 3: 8-9)}

^{I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:10)}

 ^{I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. (Phil. 3:10-11)}

^{How has God been revealing himself?
What avenues has God provided for you to know Him?
What’s an area of life to trust Father, Son and Holy Spirit more in this “wild world”?}
