God's Essence & Attributes Equated

54

We are continuing the study of our God as being one God, undivided in His Essence and Being, even though there are three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all subsisting together in this Divine Essence. Each of these 3 Persons has, as our Confession states, the whole Divine Essence, yet that Essence is undivided. Last Sunday we saw that God in His nature is a Spirit existing as pure and Perfect Light. His Essence, it says here in Paragraph 3, is distinguished by several peculiar relative properties. These properties or perfections are what we as Christians generally understand as His attributes. The relative properties which are distinguished in God are His Attributes. They are equated with each other in His Essence because God is One God, but they for our sakes, because we are finite in our understanding, must be distinguished from each other if we are even to begin to comprehend what our God is like.
