THE TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD:
No man can fully understand the triune nature of God intellectually.
(Acts 17:29)
This is a reality that is beyond the frame of man’s intellect. If you have to intellectualize everything about God, there will be many aspects of Him that we will miss out on because His nature cannot be intellectualized.
What Is Triune?
The concept of Triune, means “Three that is manifested in One”.
_
The word “One” is the Hebrew word translated as, “Echad” and it means “Unity”, not singular. (Genesis 2:24, Ezra 3:1)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOD (THE SON):
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
_
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOD (THE HOLY SPIRIT):
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2 (KJV)
_
“and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Isaiah 11:2 (KJV)
_
“Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.” Isaiah 48:16 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES ABOUT THE TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD (NEW TESTAMENT):
“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:16-17 (KJV)
_
“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:”
John 17:1 (KJV)
SCRIPTURES CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD AS THE TRINITY:
– God the Father: Isaiah 63:16
– God the Son: Psalm 45:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, Matthew 3:16-17, John 17:1
– God the Holy Spirit: Genesis 1:2, Isaiah 11:1-3, 48:16, Matthew 3:16-17
GOD’S PURPOSE FOR MAN: WHY DID GOD CREATE MAN?
“When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.” – Dr. Myles Munroe
God created man for the following reasons:
1. For Relationship (God desired a family of sons and daughters to share love, fellowship, and communion).
(Genesis 3:8, John 20:17, Ephesians 3:14-15)
2. To Manifest His Glory (virtue, nature, character) upon the earth.
3. For Dominion (Hebrews 2:6, Revelations 5:10, Ephesians 3:10)
Dominion means demonstrating His wisdom and power.
THE STUDY OF MAN:
The study of Man from the theological standpoint is called
“Anthropology” which is from the Greek Word “Anthropos”.
Two Questions To Consider in Understanding the Doctrine of Man from an Anthropological StandPoint:
1. What Is Man? (Psalm 143:3, Job 7:17-18, Psalm 8:1-4)
2. Why Did God Create Man?
TRACING THE ORIGIN OF MAN (FACTS ABOUT MAN):
1. Man is a created being (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7, Revelation 4:11, Psalm 139:14-16, Isaiah 45:11).
2. Man was created to be a dependent being; dependent on God, fellow men (relationships), and his environment. (Acts 17:23-28)
3. Man is a being with intelligence; God built him with an ability to reason, imagine and express his thoughts in language and arts, and to give material frame to his thoughts, desires, and imaginations. Man operates beyond genetics and instincts. (Genesis 2:15, 19-20, 11:6, Romans 1:21, Ephesians 3:20)
4. Man was created as a moral being;
– Having the ability to make choices
– Having the ability to distinguish between right and wrong
– Having the ability to feel and face consequences
– Having conscience
(John 3:14-15, 17, John 3:18)
5. Man is a triune or tripartite being; consisting of three parts, areas, or aspects (a spirit, soul, and body). Genesis 2:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Hebrews 4:12
