Holy Trinity
God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. Job 37:5 ESV
One God in three persons. This truth troubles some people.
The cults misrepresent the teaching of Scripture and claim that the Trinity is of heathen origin, teaching a religion of three gods. Like in so many other matters, they are in error. The Scripture declares both that there is one God and that God is Father, Son, and Spirit. It doesn’t make sense to human reason.
Should we be surprised that the incomprehensible God doesn’t fit into a neat little box to fit in a nice little cubby in our heads? Instead of changing Him to fit into our reasonably composed preconceived ideas, shouldn’t we humble ourselves and admit that He is greater than our understanding?
We cannot comprehend the things that He has done. We can’t fathom how He created the universe and all that is in it by simply saying, “Let there be”. His infinite wisdom and power are incomprehensible.
I understand in a general way how the radio works in my vehicle. I don’t have to be able to explain it with a schematic to know that it works. I don’t have to comprehend my Creator to know that He made me and provides for me and preserves me and loves me.
All I need to know is that He’s my King. He’s my Father. He loves me.
Defend Thy truth, O God, and stay This evil generation;
And from the error of its way Keep Thine own congregation.
The wicked everywhere abound And would Thy little flock confound;
But Thou art our Salvation.
The Lutheran Hymnal 260:6
