25. Since there is but one Divine Being, 1) why do you speak of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

Because God has so revealed Himself in His Word, 2) that these three distinct persons are the one, true, eternal God.

l) Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord. Deut. 6:4.

2) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Isa. 61:1.

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Ps. 110:1.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matt. 3:16,17.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matt. 28:19.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. I John 5:7.

* The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all Amen'
