God, Trinity of
The Trinity is one God in three distinct persons without confusion or division.
As the sun hath three distinct properties, — as the globe, the light, and the heat, — and though each of these keeps its distinct traits, there is but one sun, not three suns: so in Deity, the unity of essence is not taken away by distinction of persons; and yet there is no confounding of persons, or changing of one into another. As there is but one sun throughout the whole world, no more is there but one God. As the sun shows himself by his beams, so God the Father shows himself by his Son Jesus Christ, who is his Word and Eternal Wisdom. As the sun by his heat makes us feel his force, so God makes us feel his Holy Spirit, which is his infinite power. Cavedray.
