“God, The Father” From
Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
is one of
the
three
characters in which the triune
God
is revealed in the
New
Testament
; the
Father
is the One who wills (Heb. s.), who counsels
all
, and who
as Father
directs
the
Son
. It is the Son alone who does or
can
reveal
Him
,
for
He
only
as
man
knows Him.
There
is no evidence that God the Father, as such, can
ever
be seen
save
in the Son; on the contrary, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
This
title of “Father” it is the high privilege of Christians to
use
.
“God the Son” From
Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
The
revealer of the
Father
. Coequal and co-
eternal
with
Him
, in
glory
and position, but subordinate in the
perfect
relationship of a
Son
with a Father, made
also
man
, He was perfectly dependent. He is the One who carries out
all
the Father’s will and counsels in relation to the
earth
. The
Creator
,
Jehovah
,
God
Almighty
, the Man
Christ
Jesus
, the King of the Jews, the
Head
of the
Church
, and the
Judge
of all,
the Son
is thus the theme of all Scriptures, and His manifold glories fill every sphere, from the
manger
and the
Cross
, to the eternal glory from
everlasting
to everlasting (see
TRINITY
).
“God the Spirit” From
Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
The
agent in manifesting the triune
God
, the one by whose
power
the
Son
carries out the
Father
’s will. Thus, “If I by the
Spirit
of God
cast
out devils.”
Also
, the Father is revealed, the Son reveals, the Spirit quickens and makes known. He is the quickening power in
the
new
creation
, as in the old. He was sent to
earth
by the Son on His return to
heaven
to be in and
with
believers
till
His return. By
Him
we are born again and sealed.
“Trinity” From
Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
Short
for
tri-unity, or
three
in one, and refers to
the
revelation of
God
peculiar to Christianity, (being never clearly revealed
till
Christ
carne), of
Father
,
Son
, and
Holy
Ghost
. Looked at generally, it may be said that it is God the Father who wills,
the Son
who carries out the will by the agency of the
Spirit
; but
all
are one God, though thus known not
only
in three characters, but in three persons. The Son alone has a body, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost are spirit.
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A word only used to convey the thought of a plurality of Persons in the
Godhead
. This was revealed at the
baptism
of
the
Lord
Jesus
.
The
Holy
Spirit
descended “like a
dove
” and abode upon Him; and
God
the
Father
declared “This is My beloved
Son
in whom I am well pleased.” That the Father is a distinct Person and is God is plainly stated, as in
John 20:17
17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (John 20:17)
. Many passages prove that the Lord Jesus is God: one will suffice: “in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal
life
” (
1 John 5:20
20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (1 John 5:20)
). That the Holy Spirit is a Person and is God the following passages clearly prove (
Gen. 1:2
2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2)
;
Matt. 4:1
1
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (Matthew 4:1)
;
John 16:13
13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. (John 16:13)
;
Acts 10:19
19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. (Acts 10:19)
;
Acts 13:2,4
2
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. (Acts 13:2)
4
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. (Acts 13:4)
;
Acts 20:28
28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)
;
Rom. 15:30
30
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; (Romans 15:30)
;
1 Cor. 2:10
10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10)
). The
three
Persons are also named in the formula instituted by Christ in baptism (
Matt. 28:19
19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:19)
). Yet there is but one God (
1 Tim. 2:5
5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (1 Timothy 2:5)
).
Satan
will have an imitation of the Trinity in the Roman
beast
, the false
prophet
, and himself (
Rev. 13:4,11
4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:4)
11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)
;
Rev. 20:10
10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
).
