The Triune Nature of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
The podcast explores the triune nature of God, emphasizing that God has always been triune, even from the beginning of creation. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct but fully God. The Son is not a demigod, but eternally begotten from the Father, sharing the same divine essence. The Holy Spirit is the bond of love between the Father and the Son, and He applies the work of salvation to believers. The concept of the Trinity challenges human understanding, as it requires a sanctified mind to grasp the divine essence and relationship within God.
