Focus Statement:

Though we may never fully comprehend the mystery of the Trinity, God has revealed what we need to walk in faith: the Father who initiates, the Son who saves, and the Spirit who seals and empowers us.

Introduction: The Mystery and the Map

  • God is not fully comprehensible—but He has revealed what we need to know.
  • We are called to walk in humble confidence, embracing mystery and revelation together (Deut. 29:29).

Add A Note

Humble Confidence:

  • God exists as a community of love—Father, Son, and Spirit.
  • Use metaphors (sun/light/heat; mind/body/soul) to approach understanding, but don’t idolize the metaphor.
  • Full understanding is beyond human capacity—faith requires humility.

The Son:

  • Jesus is fully God—otherwise salvation has no power.
  • He fulfilled the righteous requirements of God through His perfect life and sacrificial death.

The Spirit:

  • The Holy Spirit is the seal and guarantee of salvation (Eph. 1:13–14).
  • Without the Spirit, faith is powerless (Rom. 8:9).
  • Only when softened (surrendered) can we be sealed by the Spirit.
    • Are you receptive? Have you made room for the Spirit to move?

Walking it Out:

  • If you’re confused about the Trinity or feeling disconnected—soften your heart to be filled.
  • Evidence of the Spirit is seen in the fruit of your life.

  • How does your understanding of who Jesus is shape the way you respond to Him—with trust, worship, and obedience?
  • In what ways have you resisted or softened yourself to the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? What fruit is (or isn’t) present?
