Question 25

Question 25

Since there is but one only divine essence,⁷¹⁷¹ Deut. 6:4; Eph. 4:6; Isa. 44:6; Isa. 45:5; 1 Cor. 8:4, 6. why speakest thou of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

Because God has so revealed himself in his word,⁷²⁷² Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:18; Gen. 1:2, 3; Ps. 33:6; Isa. 48:16; Ps. 110:1; Matt. 3:16, 17; Matt. 28:19; 1 John 5:7; Isa. 6:1, 3; John 14:26; John 15:26; 2 Cor. 13:13; Gal. 4:6; Eph. 2:18; Tit. 3:5, 6 . that these three distinct persons are the one only true and eternal God.

⁷¹ Deut. 6:4; Eph. 4:6; Isa. 44:6; Isa. 45:5; 1 Cor. 8:4, 6.

⁷² Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:18; Gen. 1:2, 3; Ps. 33:6; Isa. 48:16; Ps. 110:1; Matt. 3:16, 17; Matt. 28:19; 1 John 5:7; Isa. 6:1, 3; John 14:26; John 15:26; 2 Cor. 13:13; Gal. 4:6; Eph. 2:18; Tit. 3:5, 6 .
