Episode notes
Union vs. Communion with God
- Union with God is a gift and unilateral, but communion with God requires active participation; it's like a friendship.
- Communion is an invitation from God where believers engage and enjoy a deep fellowship with the Trinity.
McKinley’s Sabbatical Revelation
- Mike McKinley read John Owen's 'Communion with God' during a sabbatical to deepen his understanding of his personal relationship with God.
- This exercise clarified how to practically live out communion with the Father, Son, and Spirit, beyond just theological concepts.
Communion with Each Trinity Person
- We have distinct but inseparable communion with each person of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- These relationships don't imply tritheism but a dynamic interplay within the unity of the Godhead.
