And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Gen 1:26)
Have you ever tried to understand the Trinity? It can be a challenging task. In this Bible study, we will tackle why it is vital to believe in the Trinity and how it works. This study is essential for our spiritual growth and will help us in our prayer life.
Teamwork.
We have heard the following quotes–Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit-Three persons in one! Others have reasoned that if it is Three persons, it is Three Gods. That is a gross error. The Word God is compared to the word Teams. There are many members, but one team.
Each member of the Trinity has its own personality and characteristics. In fact, personality is derived from the Word person. These Three persons are working together to achieve their divine purpose. A close look at Gen 1:26 reveals the following statement-“And God said, Let us make man in our image.”
Teamwork is the key to understanding the creation of man. The Father, Holy Spirit, and the Word (Jesus) were at work. There was no division but unity. Unity and Teamwork were essential in creating man. Man was made in the image of God. God is a Spirit, and Man is a spirit. (Prov 20:27, John 4:24)
Understanding The Threefold Nature Of Man.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and Soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thess 5:23)
Understanding Teamwork begins with us. (I Thess 5:23) Just as God is defined in Three parts, so is man-Spirit, Soul, and Body. At the time of Salvation, our spirit is united with the Spirit of God, but the Soul and Body must align with the Word. This is where mind renewal begins.
The Soul is comprised of three things–
1-Mind
2-Will
3-Desires
We tend to be emotional in life. Our mind is like computer software. Our mental software needs to be updated, and that is where the mind of Christ comes in. The Word Christ means the yoke-breaking, burden-removing power of God. (Isa 10:27)
When we take the mind of Christ, our thinking capacity will increase. Adam had a hundred percent of his mind working before the fall. On average, we use just a low percentage of our brain, although some have used higher thinking capacities. An example can be found in the invention of a machine that changes air into water.
An old army veteran discovered a way to transform air into water. He shared his invention with lower-income people in Flint, Michigan, and Puerto Rico, giving them free water. Brethren, we can offer answers to the problems of this world because we have a genius living inside of us-The Holy Spirit! On this day, decide to get your Soul in order.
Learn to work as a team with God. Remember, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and a house divided will not stand. Believe it or not, you have the answers to life’s problems because the Holy Spirit lives inside you. Creative ideas and solutions are waiting to be released from inside your spirit. Learn to flow with God and experience the Mind of Christ. God bless!
Prayer: Thank you, Father, for speaking to me. Thank you for showing me the importance of the Trinity through Teamwork. Lord, help me align my Soul and body with the Word. I declare that I have the mind of Christ, and creative ideas and wisdom will come out of my spirit. In Jesus name-Amen!
