Presentation transcript:

The foundation for community – the Trinity Eph.4: The Trinity – a revelation of God’s heart a. There is one God b. There are 3 persons in the Godhead c. Each person is fully God

1:1 A revelation a. O.T. revelation - The emphasis is THERE IS ONE GOD Dt.6:4,5 - Hints at plurality – Gen.1:26; Is.6:8 - Word/Wisdom, Spirit – Gen.1:3; Pr.8:30,31; Ps.139:7,8; 104:30 - Angel of the Lord – Gen.16:7-13; Ch.18; Ex.3:2-4; Judges 13

b. N.T. revelation The understanding that there is a plurality of persons in the One God comes with:- 1. The coming of Jesus 2. The outpouring of the Spirit The One God, Yahweh, is now known as the Father, Son & Holy Spirit – Mt.28:18-20; 2 Cor.13:14; Eph.4:4-6 It is a revelation we don’t fully comprehend

1:2 A revelation of God’s heart The Bible declares “God is love” – 1 John 4:8,16 a. The eternal love in the Godhead – John 17:24 b. The love of Creation c. The love of the Gospel

The love of the Gospel It is at the Cross that we see most clearly the Triune nature of God:- 1. The Son offers himself as the sacrifice for sin – it is costly – Mk.15:34 2. The Father shows the sufficiency of the sacrifice as:- - The Temple curtain is torn –Mt.27:50,51 - Jesus is raised

3. The Spirit:- a. Enables Jesus to offer his sacrifice – Heb.9:14 b. Confirms Jesus’ divinity through the resurrection – Rom.1:4 c. Makes Jesus & his sacrifice real to us – John 16:8-11

2. The foundation & model for community a. Foundation 1. We are created in God’s image – Gen.1:26,27 2. New creation in Christ – Eph.4:4-6 a. The Spirit puts us in one Body – v.4 b. Experience salvation through Christ v.5 c. Come into a relationship with God the Father – v.6; Rom.8:15,16

b. Model for community Human character 1. Proud – superior - hard to submit to others God’s character 1. Humble – sacrificial service – Mk 10:45; John 13 No rivalry – the father & Son honour each other – John 5: The Spirit honours the Son – John 16:13-15

Model for community Human character 2. Individualistic – create our “World” - Afraid to be too open in case we lose our identity God’s character 2. Communion – rich, joyful intimacy - Total openness to one another - Perfect working together - Unity & Diversity

Model for community Human character 3. Selfish – concerned for our interests - Blind to the needs of others God’s character 3. Overflowing love - Reaching out to include others - Meeting human need at personal cost
