Affirmation of the Trinity:
God the Father is God, God the Son is God, and God the Holy Spirit is God, and that there are not three gods, but one living and true God.
God the Father is God, God the Son is God, and God the Holy Spirit is God, and that there are not three gods, but one living and true God.
No ontological subordination in the Trinity:
The Father is neither less God than nor more God than the Son, who is neither less God than nor more God than the Spirit, who is neither less God nor more God than the Father.
The Father is neither less God than nor more God than the Son, who is neither less God than nor more God than the Spirit, who is neither less God nor more God than the Father.
Voluntary economic subordination in the Trinity (God's actions):
The Father sends the Son (John 17:8) who sends the Spirit (John 16:7). The Spirit will not speak on His own but will speak what He hears from the Son (John 16:13), and the Son speaks only what are the words of the Father (John 14:24).

Today's Notes:
1) God the Father reigns over everything.
2) God the Father rules over everyone.

For discussion this week:
-- When you think of God, what image comes to mind?
-- How does your image of God match up with the Trinity?
-- Have you ever considered what it means that God has adopted us as His children? How does the fact of our adoption bless you?
