CATECHISMS

WHAT IS A CATECHISM?
It simply means to teach biblical truth in
an orderly way. Generally this is done with
questions and answers accompanied by
biblical support and explanation.
WHY IS THIS
IMPORTANT?
BECAUSE WE ARE BEING
CATECHIZED BY THE WORLD
24/7

BUT THEY ARE ALSO
EXCELLENT LIARS
...Let God be true though every one
were a liar.... (Romans 3:4)

(Deut. 6:4)
Q. 7. In how many persons does this one God

Q. 8. What are they?


A. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Scripture: (Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14)


Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I have commanded you. And
behold, I am with you always, to the end of the
age.”
(Matt. 28:19-20)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of
God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with
you all.
(2 Corinthians 13:14)
There are actually seven statements that go
into the doctrine of the Trinity:
1. God is one. There’s only one God.
2. The Father is God.
3. The Son is God.
4. The Holy Spirit is God.
5. The Father is not the Son.
6. The Son is not the Spirit.
7. The Spirit is not the Father.
If you get those seven statements, then
you’ve captured the doctrine of the Trinity—
what it means when we say there is one God
and three persons.
One is not the other, but they’re equal in
rank, equal in power, equal in glory, equal in
majesty.
Just as Jesus sends out the disciples to go
baptize in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we see this
doctrine of the Holy Trinity woven
throughout the Scriptures.
WHY IS THE DOCTRINE
OF THE TRINITY
IMPORTANT?
3 REASONS
(1) The Trinity helps us to understand how there
can be unity in diversity... The Trinity shows
us that you can have a profound, real, organic
unity with diversity, so that the Father, Son,and
Holy Spirit are working in complete union in our
salvation.
The Father appoints. The Son accomplished. The
Spirit applies. We encounter God as fully God in
the Father, in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit. And
yet, their divine work is neither interchangeable
nor redundant.
(2) When you have a triune God, you have the
eternality of love. Love has existed from all
time....So love is not a created thing. God didn’t
have to go outside of himself to love. Love is
eternal. And when you have a triune God, you
have fully this God who is love.
(3) The doctrine of the Trinity is crucial for the
Christian because there is nothing more
important in all the world than knowing
God....In the end, the Trinity matters because
God matters.
Q. 6. Are there more gods than one?
A. There is only one God.

Q. 7. In how many persons does this one God


exist?
A. In three persons.

Q. 8. What are they?


A. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Q. 6. Are there more gods than one?
A.

Q. 7. In how many persons does this one God


exist?
A.

Q. 8. What are they?


A.
To the great one in three
Eternal praises be
Hence - evermore!
His sov'reign Majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
PRAYER

Father, Son, and Spirit, you are beyond our


understanding. Thank you for bringing us
into your love, a love that existed before the
world in your three perfect persons. Amen.
