God The Father.
IS the creator of all things. He is perfect in every way, righteous in judgment, and fully abundant in His love and all powerful. He rules as Sovereign Lord, over all things seen and not seen. He rescues the lost and helpless . He is the stronghold and provides complete safety for those in need. He is a consuming Holy fire - all the stars in the galaxies couldn't equal His burn - He made them and yet He shows us His tender Mercy and is slow to anger. He is Parent as comforter, provider, trainer and rebuker, consistent and persistent. He is all three - THE Father, THE Son, The Holy Spirit.
God The Son.
IS through whom all things are created and holds all things together. The Son is the image of the invisible God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary. Jesus came to Earth as a man to redeem this fallen world. Through His obedient and sinless life He revealed the fullness of God. Through word and deed Jesus proclaimed the reign of God bringing good news to all, setting them free and opening their eyes to God's truth. Jesus Christ triumphed over sin through His death and resurrection and was exalted Lord of creation and the church (body of believers). The saviour invites all to be reconciled to God offering peace, himself, to all calling them to follow Him in the way of the cross. Until Jesus returns in His glory, He intercedes for believers, acts as their advocate and calls them to be His witness.
God The Holy Spirit. IS supreme counselor, creative power, presence and wisdom of God. The Spirit convicts people of sin, gives them new life and guides them to Truth. By the spirit believers are baptised into one body. The indwelling spirit testifies that they are God's children, distributes gifts for ministry, empowers for witness intercedes for them according to God's will and assures them of eternal life.
