Lord's Day #8 Apostles Creed is Trinitarian

Our hope in recording these is that they might provide some instruction for those who are learning the catechism and or wanting to understand it better.

As we come to Lord's Day 8 we hear a discussion on the Trinitarian arrangement of the Apostles Creed. In today's QAs the distinct roles of the Three Persons of the Godhead are explained.

24. How are these articles divided?

Into three parts: the first is of God the Father and our creation; the second, of God the Son and our redemption; the third, of God the Holy Spirit and our sanctification.1

[1] 1 Pet. 1:2; *1 Jn. 5:7.

25. Since there is but one Divine Being,1 why do you speak of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

Because God has so revealed Himself in His Word,2 that these three distinct persons are the one, true, eternal God.

[1] Deut. 6:4. [2] Isa. 61:1; Ps. 110:1; Matt. 3:16–17; 28:19; 1 Jn. 5:7; *2 Cor. 13:14.
