Christianity in a sentence

“The essence of the Christian religion consists in this, that the creation of the Father, devastated by sin, is restored in the death of the Son of God, and recreated by the Holy Spirit into the kingdom of God.”

- Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol 1

  1. Greetings in Christ,

    I would disagree in this:

    GOD who is a Tri-unity of persons, GOD the Father, GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit, were ALL involved in Creation.
    GOD the Father sent His Son, yet The Son went in His own Will, and GOD the Holy Spirit declared Him.
    What I am saying is that there no aspect of Creation, Regeneration, Salvation, Revelation, and so on, that is does not involve any of the person of the Tri-unity. All is involved more or less.
    GOD the Father sent The Son, GOD the Holy Spirit declared the Son, and the Son declared GOD the Father and promised GOD the Holy Spirit to those who believe in Him (Jesus Christ)

    GOD bless you, in Him, the GOD-Man

    Stephen
