Union with God the Trinity

Have you ever thought at length about the Christian doctrine of the Trinity? I’m sure some of us have, and others may not have. Let’s spend a few minutes together with Dr. Sinclair Ferguson, through an article he wrote in Ligonier Ministries’ Tabletalk Magazine. He writes on the idea that our union with God, through believing the gospel, is a union of immense proportion and matching importance.

Dr. Ferguson makes an observation near the beginning of the article which may describe your present situation, and moves us to consider the depths of the Trinity displayed in the gospel itself.

Many Christians tend to think of the Trinity as an impractical, speculative doctrine. But not so the Lord Jesus. For Him, it is neither speculative nor impractical—but the very reverse. It is the foundation of the gospel. Without the love of the Father, the coming of the Son, and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, there simply could be no salvation.
