| 0:00.0 | How does the doctrine of the Trinity shape our understanding of the gospel? |
| 0:05.0 | Then you see the gospel of a God whose ultimate aim is not to send us home with a clean school report, |
| 0:12.0 | but to draw us in to his life and joy, to embrace us with a very love which he has for his dear son. |
| 0:23.6 | Can you explain the doctrine of the Trinity? |
| 0:32.6 | Should we as Christians even bother? |
| 0:34.6 | Or is it merely something for academics and theologians to discuss? In addition to being an essential doctrine of the Christian faith, as you'll hear today on renewing your mind, when we understand the Trinitarian nature of God, it profoundly shapes how we understand the good news of the gospel. I'm Nathan W. Bingham, and our featured teacher |
| 0:56.9 | today is Michael Reeves. He serves as president and professor of theology at Union School of |

| 1:43.1 | We care about the sort of truths that Luther and Calvin and friends fought for in the Reformation. |
| 1:51.7 | We care about salvation as a gift of pure grace. |
| 1:57.7 | Being declared righteous by God, not because we've been righteous ourselves, but because Christ |
| 2:05.5 | clothes us with His righteousness. We care about those sweet truths. But what has the Trinity |
| 2:15.6 | to do with all that? |
| 2:19.0 | What possible difference can the Trinity make to those beautiful truths about salvation |
| 2:28.5 | that the reformers fought for that we love? |
