As we all have heard that the Christian God is known to be a triune God made up of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Today however, at church I manage to learn not to say something new that I've never heard before, but three different elements that can be connected such as the title implies. The evil version of a triune, bare in mind it is just a figure of speech to give an idea and I don't think it should be credible for any other reason.
The three main enemies that we face. The Evil Triune, SIN,SATAN,DEATH.
I would start with 1. SIN. Sin is basically rebellion, by saying No to God and Yes to ourselves. Yes to our plans and what we wanna do. Not only are we disobeying God but dishonouring Him as well. We have turned else where to find our purpose. We have the freedom to do so anyways.
"but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. "(Isaiah 59:2) ESV
Secondly, it would be 2. SATAN, his life mission, to call us into sin. The tempter, ready to devour you at any given chance he can. and his goal ? To bring us to DEATH. where SIN is fully manifested.
"Be sober- minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8) ESV
"Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." (James 1:15) ESV
Lastly, 3. DEATH, the end point of everything. The just payment for our sin. All hope is gone beyond this point and there will be no returns. purpose, joy, freedom, all lost. With the perspective that in Christ we merely die a human death and I am speaking of a different kind of death here.
"For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22) ESV
So yeah, a little something I thought was interesting today.
