“Our Triune God has a plan!” 1) A plan to give us peace 2) A plan to give us hope Romans 5:1-5

Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all else, hold to the true Christian faith. Whoever does not keep this faith pure in all points will certainly perish forever. Athanasian Creed

Now this is the true Christian faith: We worship one God in three persons and three persons in one God, without mixing the persons or dividing the divine being. Athanasian Creed

For each person – The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – Is distinct, but the deity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, equal in glory and coeternal in majesty. Athanasian Creed

What the Father is, so is the Son, and so is the Holy Spirit. The Father is uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Spirit uncreated; Athanasian Creed

the Father is infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Spirit infinite; the Father is eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Spirit eternal; yet they are not three who are eternal, but there is one who is Athanasian Creed

eternal, just as they are not three who are uncreated, nor three who are infinite, but there is one who is uncreated and one who is infinite. Athanasian Creed

In the same way the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, the Holy Spirit is almighty; yet they are not three who are almighty, but there is one who is almighty. Athanasian Creed

So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God; yet they are not three Gods, but one God. Athanasian Creed

So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord; yet they are not three Lords, but one Lord. Athanasian Creed

For just as Christian truth compels us to confess each person individually to be God and Lord, so the true Christian faith forbids us to speak of three Gods or three Lords. Athanasian Creed

The Father is neither made nor created nor begotten of anyone. The Son is neither made nor created, but is begotten of the Father alone Athanasian Creed

The Holy Spirit is neither made nor created, nor begotten, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. Athanasian Creed

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. Athanasian Creed

And within this Trinity none comes before or after; none is greater or inferior, but all three persons are coequal and coeternal, so that, in every way, as stated before, Athanasian Creed

All three persons are to be worshipped as one God, and one God worshipped as three persons. Athanasian Creed

Whoever wishes to be saved must have this conviction of the Trinity. Athanasian Creed

Pastor: …Lord, in your mercy All: hear our prayer. Prayer of the Church

All: Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Lord’s Prayer

All: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen. Lord’s Prayer
