The entire Bible reveals that God is Triune – He is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, and we believers in Christ have been baptised into the processed Triune God to be brought into an organic union with Him and enjoy the riches of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit in our daily life for the church life.
Amen, Lord, uplift our view and appreciation of our baptism. May we realise that we were not baptised only in water but even more, into the processed Triune God! Wow, we were put into God and God was put into us! We were immersed into Christ and Christ was given to us to drink as the Spirit! Amen, Lord, as those in the processed Triune God, we want to enjoy You, experience You, and partake of Your riches today! Amen!
The Triune God is a mystery, and we are not here to try to dissect or understand what the Father and the Son and the Spirit are and do; we are here to enjoy and experience this wonderful One!
From the very beginning of the Bible, the very first verse, we see that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The Hebrew word for God is not the singular Jehovah but Elohim, which is plural, more than two.
The God who created all things is plural – He is the Triune God. Hallelujah! And the last verse of the Bible says, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints.
The Lord Jesus spoken of in the last verse of the Bible is the God who created everything in the beginning; in between the first and the last verse of the Bible, many things took place and God went through a process.
The very God who started it all went through a process and was consummated to become the Spirit, and He is now Christ as grace with our spirit.
We believers in Christ have received the Triune God, the processed Triune God, into us. The whole Bible unveils to us the Triune God; the Divine Trinity is the structure of the Bible.
If we read the Old Testament and the New Testament we see the Triune God – not the term “the Triune God” but the fact that God is triune – everywhere.
Actually, if we take away the Triune God from the Bible, it becomes an empty storybook.
If we take the Triune God from the Scriptures, we only see that God did this, man needs that, and what God tells man is something related to religion.
But praise the Lord, the Bible reveals the Triune God, and this God is for our enjoyment and experience in our Christian life today!
Amen, may we be those who seek not just the knowledge of the Triune God according to the Bible but even more, the enjoyment and experience of the processed Triune God in our daily living.
The Bible Reveals that God is Triune – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – for us to Enjoy and Experience Today!
There are many mysteries in the universe and in the human life, and the Triune God is the mystery of mysteries. If we look at the life in our physical body, no matter how much science and medicine try to explain it, it is impossible, for life is a mystery.
If we look at the matter of the human spirit within our body, again, it is a mystery; how can we know or understand the human spirit? Who can give a full explanation of what human life is and what the human spirit is?
And these mysteries are small in comparison to the Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit!
There are many instances in the Bible where we see that God is uniquely one.
1 Corinthians 8:4 says, There is no God but one. This emphatically tells us that there is no two or three gods but just one, God Himself.
In Isaiah 45:5 it says, I am Jehovah and there is no one else; / Besides Me there is no God (see also vv. 6, 21-22; 46:9; 44:6, 8).
There is no other God besides God. There is just one God, and there are no other gods. How many Gods do we have: one or three? We only have one God. Our God is uniquely one. This is what the Bible reveals to us again and again.
In Isaiah 6:8, however, we see that God said, Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us? On the one hand, we see that God wants to send someone for Himself, and He was wondering who would go for Them.
This is mysterious; how can God be “I” and “Us” at the same time? Is there one God or is there more than one God?
What the Bible reveals is that God is one, even uniquely one, and at the same time, God is three – He is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
In Genesis 1:26 we see that God speaks of Himself as “Us”, saying that He will make man in “Our image” and “according to Our likeness.” This is a mystery, difficult to comprehend; however, we must believe that God is both one and three.
He is one yet three not for us to dissect or try to separate and see who is who and who does what; He is three for our enjoyment and experience.
This is why the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 that we need to disciple all the nations, baptising them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
There is one name, but there are three persons; there is one God, yet He is Triune. He is three-in-one, or triune.
It is not our job, however, to try to understand whether our God is the Father or the Son or the Spirit; our God is all three, and God is triune for us to enjoy and experience Him today in our Christian life!
We can be baptised into the Triune God, and we can enjoy the Triune God!
2 Corinthians 13:14 is another wonderful verse unveiling the Triune God to us; in this verse we see the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit being with us all.
God is not just the Father, the Son, and the Spirit; He is Triune for the purpose of dispensing Himself into us for our enjoyment and participation.
If we just exercise our spirit and call on the name of the Lord, we enjoy the Triune God who is dispensing Himself into us. He is dispensing Himself in His Divine Trinity into us to be our life and our everything.
If we just love the Lord, the Father will love us, and the Father and the Son will come to us and make an abode with us (John 14:23). Hallelujah!
The Triune God comes to us, dispenses Himself into us, and makes an abode with us. Furthermore, He wants us to be in Him and with Him, as seen in John 17:11 and 20 – that we may be one, even be in the Triune God! Praise the Lord!
Lord Jesus, may we see that God is Triune for the dispensing of Himself into us! Amen, Lord, dispense Yourself into us a little more today. Keep us under Your divine dispensing today. Keep us open to You. We want to exercise our spirit today to just enjoy You. We open to You. Oh Lord, we love You; come and make an abode with us, bringing the Triune God into us and us into the Triune God! May we enjoy the love of God the Father being expressed in the grace of the Son and flowing in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit! Oh Lord Jesus, we call on Your name and we want to enjoy all the riches of the Triune God! Hallelujah, we were baptised into the Triune God and we were given to enjoy all that God is! Keep us in the enjoyment of Yourself today. Save us from trying to understand the Triune God; may we enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity in our daily living! Hallelujah, our God is One yet three! Praise the Lord for the Triune God dispensing Himself into us!
We have been Baptised into the Processed Triune God to Enjoy all His Riches in the Organic Union with Him
We believers in Christ have been baptised into the processed Triune God. Our God went through a process in order for us to be baptised into Him and for us to enjoy Him.
When we hear the gospel and open, repent, and call on the name of the Lord, we are given the authority to become children of God, those who believe into His name (John 1:12-13). At the moment, we believe, the divine person of Christ comes into us.
We follow our believing into Christ with our baptism; we need to believe and be baptised in order to be saved (Mark 16:16).
By believing, we receive the Triune God into us. By baptism, we are put into the Triune God. In this way we enter into a wonderful organic union with the Triune God.
We need to realise, however, that we are baptised not only into the Triune God but into the processed Triune God.
Our Triune God has been processed. This word “processed” may have a negative connotation in today’s world, but the way we use it regarding God is to describe that God went through a process.
Does God need to be processed? Isn’t He eternal, the same yesterday, today, and forever? Isn’t God unchangeable and unchanging, never changing? Yes, God is all these. So how do we dare to say that God went through a process?
In His essence, we agree that God is unchangeable and unchanging; He is forever the same in His essence. However, in His economy, God did something and went through a process.
One day, God became a man. Was that a process? God lived on earth for thirty-three and a half years; was this a process? God went through a process in the Lord Jesus Christ; He was incarnated, He lived as a man, He worked, and He carried out His earthly ministry.
When He was young, He obeyed His parents, did His chores, and did many things. Then, when He carried out His earthly ministry, He also went through a process.
And on the cross, God was put to death. Wow, God can be killed? Can the Author of life die? It sounds absurd to say that God can be crucified, for in His divinity He can never die; however, the processed God went through death and died.
Then, after three days, He resurrected, and then He ascended. This is a process He went through.
God in His economy went through a process composed of many stages, from Him becoming a man, picking up humanity, passing through human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.
Then, in His resurrection He became a life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45); this Spirit includes all that God in Christ went through.
In this Spirit there is divinity, humanity, incarnation, human living, the suffering of human living, death, resurrection, and ascension.
He knows what it means to be hungry and thirsty, and He knows what suffering is. Now this life-giving Spirit is the processed and consummated Triune God!
God has become enterable and also baptisable – we can enter into Him and we can be baptised into Him!
When the Lord Jesus commissioned us to disciple all the nations, baptising them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Spirit, He wanted us to immerse people into the processed Triune God!
We can now enter into God, for He is the Spirit, and we can be baptised into the processed Triune God!
It is in the spirit that our Triune God is baptisable; we can now put people into the Triune God.
The charge given in Matthew 28:19 was given by the Lord Jesus after He entered into resurrection, which was the consummation of the process of the Triune God.
The Lord didn’t command us to baptise people into the Triune God in Matthew four or twelve but in chapter 28, at the very end, after He went through a process.
The Triune God has passed through a process that began with incarnation, included human living and crucifixion, and was consummated with resurrection.
In resurrection Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God, became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17). Now this Spirit is the consummation of the Triune God for us as believers to be baptised into the Divine Trinity.
When we were baptised, we were baptised into the processed Triune God. To be baptised into the person of the Triune God is to be baptised into the all-inclusive, consummated Spirit who is the ultimate consummation of the processed Triune God.
Now we can enjoy and participate in all that God the Father is and has, all the riches of Christ the Son, and all that the Spirit applies to us as reality of what God is.
We are baptised into the riches of the Father, into the riches of the Son, and into the riches of the Spirit.
The riches of the Father, just to name some, are His love for us, His mercy upon us, His choosing us, and His predestinating us.
Some of the riches of the Son are Him being grace, our food, our drink, our clothing, our way, our light, our life, and our dwelling place.
Some of the riches of the Spirit are Him being power, the reality, and so many other riches.
As those baptised into the processed Triune God, we are now in an organic union with the Triune God; now we can enjoy and participate in whatever the Father has, whatever the Son has, and whatever the Spirit has.
We have been brought into a mystical union with Him and we now appropriate whatever God is into our being. This is our Christian life.
We are saved not only to be spared from hell and eternal perdition; we are saved and baptised into the processed Triune God so that we may enjoy all the riches of the Triune God! Praise the Lord!
Lord Jesus, bring us into a deeper realisation of what happened at the time of our baptism. May we see that we were baptised into the processed Triune God! Wow, our God in His economy went through a process by becoming a man, living a human life, dying on the cross, resurrecting, and being ascended! Praise the Lord, we are now baptised into the person of the Triune God, that is, into the processed Triune God! We are baptised into the all-inclusive, consummated spirit who is the ultimate consummation of the processed Triune God! Praise the Lord, as baptised ones, we are now in an organic union with the Triune God, and whatever the Father, the Son, and the Spirit have and are, we can enjoy and participate in today! Amen, Lord, keep us in the organic union with the Triune God, enjoying all the riches of the Father, all the riches of the Son, and all the riches of the Spirit in our daily experience! May we be enjoyers of the processed Triune God for the building up of the church today!
