How does believing in one God who exists in three persons actually change the way you live? Pastor Jim Osman answers that question in this second sermon on Trinitarian theology, an exposition and application of Ephesians 1:3-14.After a brief review of last week's doctrine, including the three pillars of Trinitarianism and the Athanasian Creed's language against confusing the persons or dividing the divine essence, Osman turns to application. He works through Paul's list of spiritual blessings in Ephesians 1, showing how each is properly attributed to the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit, then traces four areas this doctrine should shape: marriage, church, worship, and the gospel.Osman argues Christian marriage is meant to imitate the equality, diversity, authority, and submission found within the Trinity, that the church displays that same unity in diversity, and that worship and prayer should be offered thoughtfully to each person of the Trinity for what Scripture says that person has actually done. He closes by grounding the gospel in the coordinated work of all three persons and offers a striking word of assurance: since Father, Son, and Spirit all intend the same salvation for you, nothing can keep that promise from being kept.This sermon moves the doctrine of the Trinity out of the classroom and into the everyday texture of a Christian's home, church, and worship. ★ Support this podcast ★
