  10. THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONE CAN WE UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERY OF THE HOLY TRINITY • If we do not know the Holy Trinity, we have no life and we cannot worship. • 1 Corinthians 12God sent Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and to give us a new nature to be worthy to be given the Holy Spirit. • We can then know the Trinity so we can have eternal life NOW. • Eternal life – it is not a place or time; it’s in a person • John 3:16 Without knowing the Holy Trinity you can’t know the love of God for each one of us. POINT III

  11. I’m not awaiting death to see eternal life, I’m seeing it now. • Without knowing the Holy Trinity we can’t worship through the liturgy. • Our call is to be the son of God through adoption. To reach our future – the bosom of the father. | • Every liturgy- we are to be received in the bosom of the Father. • Every liturgy we receive the Holy Spirit to purify us and make us worthy to receive the Son of God (the Body) and b/c Holy Spirit and the Son is one with the Father, we now enter the circle of the Trinity. POINT III

  14. What are some of the models of the Holy Trinity ? Fire POINT III Fire Heat Light Same nature, different manifestations

  15. What are some of the models of the Holy Trinity ? Fire • The fire gave birth to light and heat, but there’s no relationship/love between fire’s light and heat • BUT if we believe in a living God, God gave birth to His Son and to His Spirit – all have the same Godhead and this is the Mystery. • God loved His Son and loved His Spirit. God created us to receive eternal life. He created man to enter the relationship the holy eternity and man to be in the likeness of His Son. • Father loved the Son and Spirit before the ages – we don’t have a language to explain this relationship; the Lord created us so we can have sons, so we can taste the type of relationship that the Trinity enjoys. He adopted us to be like His Son. Our goal is to be Jesus Christ. POINT III
