Well, you say, “Pastor, it sounds a little contradictory to me that God is one and yet God is three.” Well, listen, don’t worry if if you can’t understand it. I wouldn’t have much confidence in a God that I could understand or that you could understand. Somebody said, “Try to explain the trinity.
Uh you lose your mind. Deny it, you lose your soul.” Uh you you don’t you don’t say, “I figured this out.” You don’t say, “It makes uh logical sense to me.” The Trinity is not contrary to logic. The Trinity is beyond ] logic. Take your Bibles and turn with me if you will please to Isaiah chapter 6, a very familiar passage of scripture.
And in just a moment, we’re going to be talking on this subject, treasuring the Trinity. Treasuring the Trinity. Now, the doctrine of the trinity is one of the great Christian distinctions. As a matter of fact, it is what makes Christianity stand out from all of the religions of the world. And while it is perhaps our greatest distinctive, it is beyond the shadow of any doubt the hardest to understand or to grasp.
The idea that we worship one God, not three gods, but one God. But that one god has revealed himself in three persons. And I want to say there are many who do not accept that doctrine. For example, Islam. Uh they say there is one God, his name is Allah. And they believe that we as Christians worship three gods.
