Bottom line - no Trinity, no gospel of Jesus
Christ.
God purposed eternal redemption for His elect
and He gave them to Christ and ordained Him to redeem them; the eternal Word
was made flesh, conceived in the womb of the virgin, born of flesh and blood,
to secure the eternal salvation for His people; the Holy Spirit applied that
same salvation to each elect at God's own approved and appointed time. These
are taught in the Holy Scriptures. Further:
A. Christ's birth declares and affirms
Trinity:
- Luke 1:35 KJV ¶And the angel answered and
said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
B. Christ's baptism, marking His public entry
into the work of redemption declares and affirms Trinity:
- Matt 3:16-17 - KJV 16¶ 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: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.
C. Christ's own public teachings declare and
affirm Trinity
- John 14:26 KJV — But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
- John 15:26 KJV — But when the Comforter is
come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
D. Christ's death declares and affirms the
Trinity:
- Hebrews 9:14 KJV — How much more shall the
blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to
God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
E. Christ's Great Commission to the Apostles
declares and affirms the Trinity too.
- Matthews 28:18 ¶And Jesus came and spake
unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
F. The whole of the Apostles' ministry in
fulfilling their commission declares and affirms Trinity:
- Read Apostle Peter's sermon on the day of
Pentecost, Acts 2:14ff.
- Gal 4:6 ¶And because ye are sons, God hath
sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Bottom line - no Trinity, no gospel.
