“In one hope of
your calling”; it’s in the Bible do read it
“Even as ye are
called” there’s “one body and one
Spirit”,
“One Lord, one faith,
one baptism, one God and Father of all”
“Who is above all
and through all and in you all” the apostle recalls.
Verses 4 through 6 of Ephesians chapter
four
Show three in operation; no less and no more,
One God, one Lord
and one Holy Spirit that are
co-equal
And are involved in much activity throughout the Bible.
The letter to the Ephesians is profoundly doctrinal
Written not only for them but also for us modern day
people,
Throughout this epistle there is the Holy Trinity
Frequenting its message with unmistakable clarity.
Now turn with me to Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 18,
Time and again you’ve read this but had not really
seen
That through Christ
we have access by one Spirit to the Father
So that Father,
Son and Spirit are prominently the theme.
Let’s look at other references for the Father, Son,
and Spirit,
Ephesians chapter 1 verse 17 is a verse of such merit,
Paul prayed that the God of Jesus, the Father of
glory
May give revelation and knowledge in the wisdom of the spirit.
He also prayed to the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ
That he would strengthen us inwardly with might by His Spirit,
And that Christ
may dwell in our hearts by faith
Being filled with the fullness of God would be the believer’s limit.
Go and check verses 14 through 19 of Ephesians chapter 3
And you will see the Divine three-in-one operate in unity;
The Father grants
that the Spirit would strengthen the
inner man
And that Christ
may dwell in our hearts; this completes God’s plan.
Consider “whereby
ye are sealed unto the day of redemption”
So “grieve not
the Holy Spirit” as in Ephesians 4: 30 and 32
But “be ye kind
one to another tenderhearted and forgiving
Even as God for Christ’s sake hath
forgiven you”.
“Be not drunk
with wine”…”but be filled with the
Spirit”
“Giving thanks
for all things unto God and the Father” commit,
All this “in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” submit
Accordingly as Ephesians
chapter 5 verses 18 and 20 depict.
The conclusion of this triune matter is so very clear
to me,
It indicates God’s
tri-unity in us and in Him our unity,
In the word of God we read of a magnificent mystery
But in our hearts, right there lives out a wonderful
reality.
“One God,
Father of all, above all” speaks of the Father above,
“He that is
through all” speaks of the Son,
God’s expression of love,
“He that is in
you all” the Spirit once
descended like a dove,
And there you have the Trinity indwelling us yet in heaven above.
