Why did God wait so long to reveal the doctrine of the Trinity, that He is One God subsisting in three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?B. B. Warfield (1851-1921) answered this question in the following way:"The Old Testament may be likened to a chamber richly furnished but dimly lighted; the introduction of light brings into it nothing which was not in it before; but it brings out into clearer view much of what is in it but was only dimly or even not at all perceived before."The mystery of the Trinity is not revealed in the Old Testament; but the mystery of the Trinity underlies the Old Testament revelation, and here and there almost comes into view."Thus the Old Testament revelation of God is not corrected by the fuller revelation that follows it, but only perfected, extended and enlarged." -“The Biblical Doctrine of the Trinity,” in Biblical Doctrines.See the linked video for a five minute answer to this question. ...

If we had the light of the Trinity at the beginning of the human race, we would not have yet been able to take it in.

We observe this day as Reformation Sunday, because the Reformation has had such an impact for 500 years. The Reformation focused on how we can know God and be right with Him. These issues matter even now; we need to be reminded of eternal realities. John Calvin wrote that the doctrine of justification is the hinge on which religion is supported. This doctrine as understood by the reformers is Biblical. Justification is a gift of grace and is the only way to be right with God. As we saw last week, the Bible testifies that Abraham believed, and this belief was credited to him by God as righteousness. Belief brings with it blessings, as with Abraham who received the promise of an heir. Without righteousness comes lawless deeds, which are rebellion against God. With righteousness in Christ, sins are no longer counted against us, and we are people of joy. We see confidence of God's favor in the lives of Abraham and David. God instituted the ordinance of circumcision 2000 years ago as a sign of the covenant He made with Abraham. Now, under the new covenant in Christ's blood, both circumcised and uncircumcised of all nations receive the blessings of the covenant by faith. Abraham, Paul reminds us, was declared righteous before he was circumcised, so salvation occurs apart from circumcision. So, what purpose is attached to circumcision? Paul says it is a seal of righteousness recieved by faith while uncircumcised. A seal bears the authority of the one who makes it. The life of Abraham shows us what a man of faith should look like. Baptism and circumcision are connected as marks of the covenant; in the case of baptism, of the new covenant. Its practice is formalized in Jesus' giving the church the great commission, and it is for both adults and children. We must avoid dangers connected with the practice of baptism. Baptism does not confer forgiveness. Baptismal regeneration is a false teaching. Baptism is only a declaration of personal faith and not a guarantee of salvation. Jacob and Esau both received the sign of circumcision. Yet, only one was saved. For the New Testament church, baptism is a declaration of God's gift of grace. ... See MoreSee Less

Today's focal passages from Genesis and John both reference a heavenly stairway with angels ascending and descending. Jacob saw this vision, and Jesus promised Nathanael that he would see the vision. Regarding Jacob, sin was very present around him. His mother Rebecca wanted Jacob to have a godly wife, so she sent him to Haran and her own people to find such a wife. On the way, Jacob camped at what would become Bethel. In a dream while seeing the stairway or ladder, he received a restatement of the Abrahamic covenant made to his grandfather, promising a homeland and a mighty nation from his offspring. Most importantly, God promised to be with Jacob and his offspring, even though Jacob was a trickster and rascal. Jacob awoke afraid, but realized that he was in the house of God and the stairway was the gate of heaven. He declared the awesomeness of the place and became a changed man, a partriarch to his offspring. Jacob accepted wrongs done to him, for example by his father in law, Laban. Jacob now sought to serve God and live for Him. The stairway is the heart of this passage. Our age-old sin is our desire to be like God and be our own god. Yet, there is only one stairway to heaven, and as Nathanael would see, Jesus is that stairway. The gospel comes down and takes us up to heaven. Jacob responded to the awesome vision by building an altar where he praised God and worshiped Him. Jacob then made a vow that if God provided for his needs, Jacob would proclaim God as his personal true God. He set up a memorial pillar as a reminder of his vow. Jacob received surprising grace, converting him from a cheater to a patriarch, even though Jacob did not deserve it. We must appreciate the grace of God that overflows us and places us in His service. ... See MoreSee Less
