Reformation Seminary - The Central Role of Faith in the Son of God

 

Duerer's famous painting of the Holy Trinity.

I will try the Vimeo set up later today.



Genesis 1 establishes the Trinity:

  • The Father commands.
  • The Son executes the commands.
  • The Spirit teaches us from the Father and Son.

KJV Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

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.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.


The Son is manifested throughout the Old Testament.

Exodus 3 shows us that the Angel of the Lord is the Son of God, not simply an angel.

KJV Exodus 3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
