What It Means to Be a Christian · Session 3

The Trinity & Scripture

Who God Is and How He Speaks

Essential Doctrines · Foundations (Doug Morrell)

Teaching Points

  • 1

    The Trinity: one God in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods, not one person in three modes. One God, eternally relational.

  • 2

    God the Father: the Creator, the Sustainer, the one who sends. He loves with perfect fatherly care.

  • 3

    God the Son: Jesus Christ — fully God, fully man. He lived, died, rose again, and will return. He is the image of the invisible God.

  • 4

    God the Holy Spirit: the indwelling presence of God in every believer. He convicts, comforts, guides, empowers, and transforms.

  • 5

    The Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. It is not a human invention — it reveals who God is, who we are, and what He has done.

Scriptures
