Knowing the Trinity as God was Pivotal for Me – Part 2

January 2, 2017

 

This image spoke of how the Triune God was whole. Throughout Eternity Past, the Father loved the Son through the agent of the Holy Spirit, and the Son responded in like manner.

 

We see this pattern most closely in the bond between mother and child. When the mother showers her child with love, it is an outflow from her to her baby. And the baby responds with giggles and smiles, expressing his or joy in love back to the mother.

 

While it is hard for me to say what is the counterpart to the Holy Spirit other than a law of true love acting out in the human realm, I know that this foundational bond will shape our lives in a formidable way. Any negative impact of this relationship can only be counteracted by the Holy Spirit’s transformative work through our interactive reading of His Word. (This is true of all other forms of relationships, e.g., fathers, bosses, teachers, etc.)

 

How we understood the dance of the Trinity can greatly affect our daily lives.
