Stephene Loremy Ministries Foundation
Stephene Loremy Ministries, Inc. believes in the Trinity; therefore, in Christianity, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are believed to be the three persons of the Trinity, each defined with distinct roles and attributes: God the Father is the creator and sustainer of the universe, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, sent to earth to save humanity from sin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and was resurrected on the third day. Finally, the Holy Spirit is God who convicts of sin, regenerates, sanctifies, and empowers believers, guiding them in truth and wisdom. Indeed, together, they form a unity, with each person distinct yet fully God, revealing God’s love, grace, and redemption to humanity.
Below is a rich description for each person of the trinity along with references:
God the Father is the creator of all things (Genesis 1:1-31 NIV). Scripture shares how God created everything from the beginning. The book of Genesis gives details of each day. From creating the waters and the earth to separating the light from the darkness to making the sky separate water from water, each day was filled with God’s creations. God is holy, separated from all moral defilement, and hostile toward it. God sees all evil and it angers Him. God is referred to as a consuming fire (Isaiah 6:3; Habakkuk 1:13; Exodus 3:2, 4-5; Hebrews 12:29). God is gracious, and His grace includes His goodness, kindness, mercy, and love. If it were not for God’s grace, His holiness would exclude us from His presence. Thankfully, this is not the case, for He desires to know each of us (Exodus 34:6; Psalm 31:19; 1 Peter 1:3; John 3:16, 17:3). God the Father created land and seas. Though, God allowed the land to produce vegetation with seed-bearing plants and trees. God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. God created creatures of the sea and winged birds, livestock, and animals.
Scripture tells us Jesus is God. This means that He’s eternal: He existed before His physical birth and even before time began. Jesus, the Creator of everything that exists (Colossians 1:15-17), is the perfect reflection of the invisible God. Our Savior had the power to forgive sins and was worshipped by His followers—both of which are appropriate only for divinity (Matthew 9:2-8; Matthew 14:33). Scripture says that Jesus is God in the flesh including John 1:1, which says, “The Word was God,” coupled with John 1:14, which says, “The Word became flesh.” Thomas the disciple declared to Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28), Jesus does not correct him. The apostle Paul describes Jesus as “our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). The apostle Peter says the same, calling Jesus “our God and Savior” (2 Peter 1:1).
The Holy Spirit is God, a true person of the Trinity. Among the myths and the mistaken concepts that are shared, He has been described as a force, a ghost, and a second-class or replacement god. He is confused with the manifestations themselves and has even been presented as an incidental figure that appears momentarily. Being a person, the Holy Spirit has feelings. He can become sad or angry, and others can insult Him and blaspheme against Him (Is 63:10; Mt 12:31; Act 7:51; Eph. 4:30; Heb. 10:29). Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he fought against them. He can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). He has a will (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). He uses His mind to search the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10). And He has fellowship with believers (2 Corinthians 13:14). Distinctly, the Holy Spirit is a person, just as the Father and the Son are persons. Indeed, the Bible is unequivocal that the Holy Spirit is, in fact, God, just as Jesus Christ and the Father is God.
