The 1689 - Trinity (part 1)

August 13, 2017 Speaker: Joshua Loyd Series: The 1689 Confession of Faith

Topic: Sunday School

This week we begin our discussion of the Trinity, which is the subject of chapter 2 paragraph 3 of the confession.  

The modern version of the 1689 confession reads as follows on this point: "This divine and infinite Being consists of three persons, the Father, the Word or Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three have the same substance, power, and eternity, each having the whole divine essence without this essence being divided. The Father is not derived from anyone, neither begotten nor proceeding. The Son is eternally begotten of the Father. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. All three are infinite and without beginning and are therefore only one God, who is not to be divided in nature and being. Yet these three are distinguished by several distinctive characteristics and personal relations. This truth of the Trinity is the foundation of all of our fellowship with God and of our comforting dependence on him."
