What we believe about the True God

 

We believe there is only ONE true and living God, Creator of heaven and earth, and all that is in them, visible and invisible. This ONE God is revealed in the Holy Scriptures as Triune, that is, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the plurality of persons in the Godhead is not offered as knowledge for the mind to conceive and explain, but rather as truth for the heart to believe. Under the term person as referring to the Godhead we are not to understand what we do when we use it of humans. The persons in the Trinity are equal in every respect, distinct in plurality, and unconfused in the unity of essence. Speaking of unity of essence we are not to understand it only qualitatively, as if when speaking of three different human persons, but numerically too. There are not three essences in the Godhead but only one. This is the mystery of our Triune God. While the Old Testament emphasizes the unity of Jehovah, in contradistinction to the polytheism of the heathen, the New Testament clearly and emphatically speaks of three as possessing divine attributes. The great mystery of godliness of which Paul speaks in 1 Timothy 3:16, refers to the incarnation of God the Son, and is part of the doctrine of the Trinity, which although not verbatim mentioned in Scripture, is clearly insinuated in the Old and expressly taught in the New Testament, constituting the very foundation of the Christian Faith.
