Be Free In God community outreach church and ministry in Trinity, Florida

Everyone's first step towards eternal freedom is sin repentance with salvation.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." - John 3:16-21 NASB1995

We help people discover the forgiveness and freedom found in Jesus Christ.

The omnipotence of the Trinity refers to the belief the three persons of the Christian Godhead — Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit — are all equally and fully omnipotent. This means they possess unlimited power and authority, yet this power is exercised in unity and not divided among them. Here is a breakdown of what this means in Christian theology:

One Divine Essence, Three Distinct Persons
The doctrine of the Trinity teaches God is one in essence but exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God and shares the same divine essence (or substance). Thus, they are all equally omnipotent.

Omnipotence in Each Person

God the Father: The Father is often seen as the source or origin of all divine power. In many Christian traditions, the Father is seen as the one who plans, creates and sustains the universe.
God the Son (Jesus Christ): In Christian belief, the Son is fully God and fully human. As the second person of the Trinity, He possesses omnipotence, demonstrated in His miracles, authority over creation and His role in salvation.
God the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is also omnipotent. The Spirit empowers believers, performs miracles and acts in ways demonstrating the fullness of God's power, often in more subtle, transformative ways.

Unity of the Omnipotence
The key aspect of the Trinity's omnipotence is it is not divided among the three persons. The three persons work together in perfect unity, meaning when one acts, all are involved. For example, in the creation narrative, all three persons are involved: the Father speaks, the Son is the Word through whom creation happens (John 1:3) and the Holy Spirit hovers over the waters (Genesis 1:2). Therefore, the omnipotent power of God is fully active in each of the three persons, working in harmony.

Theological Implications

Co-equality: Because each person of the Trinity is omnipotent, no person is more powerful than the others. This is central to the doctrine of the co-equality of the persons of the Trinity.
Mutual Interdependence: While they are distinct persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are united in purpose, will and power. Their omnipotence does not operate independently, but in harmony.
Divine Power and Limitations: There are debates about the nature of God's omnipotence. For example, can God do things logically contradictory, like creating a rock so heavy He cannot lift it? Most theologians agree omnipotence does not mean the ability to do the logically impossible, but rather the ability to do all things logically possible and in line with God's nature. Thus, the omnipotence of the Trinity would be understood as power exercised in perfect harmony and consistent with God's nature.

Christ's Role in Omnipotence
A particularly interesting aspect of the omnipotence of the Trinity comes in the person of Jesus Christ. In the incarnation, Jesus, as God the Son, took on human limitations (such as being born, growing and dying) while still retaining His full divinity. Theologians wrestle with the mystery of how Jesus could be both omnipotent and voluntarily subject to limitations in His humanity. However, even in His humanity, He retains the fullness of the divine power as part of the Trinity.

Application to the Believer
The omnipotence of the Trinity is a source of comfort and strength for Christians. Believers understand the same all-powerful God who created the universe, resurrected Christ and empowers the Church is actively working in their lives through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Summary
The omnipotence of the Trinity is not just the power to perform mighty deeds, but the perfect and united exercise of divine power by one God in three persons, working in harmony for the good of creation and humanity.

The concept of omniscience in relation to the Trinity refers to the belief each person of the Trinity — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — possesses complete and perfect knowledge. In Christian theology, omniscience means knowing everything: all things past, present and future, as well as all possibilities.

Here is a breakdown of how omniscience is understood within the Trinity:

1. The Father's Omniscience
The Father is universally accepted in Christian doctrine as omniscient. Scripture examples:

"God is greater than our heart, and He knows everything." – 1 John 3:20
"Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; His understanding is beyond measure." – Psalm 147:5

2. The Son's Omniscience
Jesus Christ, the Son, is also considered omniscient in His divine nature. However, during His incarnation, He voluntarily limited His use of some divine attributes (this is part of the doctrine called kenosis, from Philippians 2:6–8).

Before resurrection: Jesus sometimes displayed limited knowledge, e.g.,
After resurrection: Jesus is often seen as exercising full divine omniscience again, e.g.,
In orthodox theology, this is not a denial of His divinity, but an expression of His humility in taking on human form.

3. The Holy Spirit's Omniscience
The Holy Spirit is also described as omniscient in Scripture. Since the Spirit is said to search even the deep things of God, He must know all.

"The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God." – 1 Corinthians 2:10–11

4. Shared Omniscience Within the Trinity
Because the three persons of the Trinity share one divine essence, they also share attributes like omniscience. Meaning:

There is no conflict or ignorance within the Trinity.
Omniscience is perfectly united among the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The economic roles (how they act in history and salvation) might differ, but the essential nature is shared.

Summary
Omniscience is a divine attribute shared fully by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Apparent limits in knowledge (e.g., in Jesus' earthly ministry) are not denials of divinity but are explained theologically in terms of His incarnation. The Trinity operates in perfect unity of knowledge, will and purpose.

The omnipresence of the Trinity refers to the belief God, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is fully present everywhere at all times. In Christian theology, omnipresence means God's presence is not limited by space or time, and all three persons of the Trinity are equally present in every part of creation. This is a core aspect of God's nature, emphasizing His transcendence (beyond creation) and immanence (present within creation).

1. One Essence, Present Everywhere
Just as the omnipotence of the Trinity means the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equally powerful, the omnipresence of the Trinity means the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equally present everywhere. Each of the three persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—are fully and completely present in every part of the universe.

Father: The Father's presence is universal and sustaining. He is the source of all existence, and His omnipresence sustains all creation.
Son (Jesus Christ): The Son, though incarnate in the person of Jesus, remains omnipresent. The Christian doctrine teaches even after the Ascension; Jesus is present everywhere by virtue of His divinity.
Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit, often described as God's immanent presence in the world, works actively in the lives of believers and the world at large. The Spirit's omnipresence is particularly emphasized in Christian experience, as the Spirit dwells within believers, convicts them of sin, and empowers them for ministry.

2. Scriptural Foundation for Omnipresence
The Bible is rich with references to God's omnipresence, though it does not always speak explicitly in terms of the Trinity. However, from a theological standpoint, the omnipresence of God is understood to apply equally to all three persons:

Old Testament

Psalm 139:7–10: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there."
Jeremiah 23:24: “Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? declares the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth?"

New Testament

Matthew 28:20: Jesus says, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
John 14:16-17: Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will dwell within believers, indicating an ongoing and unbroken presence.
Ephesians 4:10: "He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe."

These verses show God, in all His fullness, is not confined to a particular place or time but is present everywhere.

3. Unity in Presence
The omnipresence of the Trinity emphasizes all three persons of the Godhead are equally and fully present in all of creation. This isn't a case where each person of the Trinity occupies a different part of the universe, but rather each person is fully present in every part of it. This is essential for maintaining the unity of the Trinity: they are not divided by location, nor is one person more present than another.

Father: The Father is universally present, particularly as the Creator who sustains and governs the entire universe.
Son: While Jesus is uniquely present through His incarnation as the historical Jesus, His divine nature remains omnipresent. As the eternal Word (John 1), He is not bound by space.
Holy Spirit: The Spirit is described as especially active in believers, but His presence also fills the world. He empowers, teaches, convicts, and is present wherever God's work is being done.

4. Omnipresence and Immanence
The omnipresence of the Trinity also ties into the idea of God's immanence — God is not distant or detached from His creation but is actively involved within it. His omnipresence is not passive, like filling a room with air, but is dynamic and purposeful. In the life of a Christian, for instance, the Holy Spirit's presence is transformative, guiding, and empowering believers. The omnipresence of the Trinity means God is intimately involved in every moment and aspect of life.

5. Theological Implications

God's Nearness and Distinction: While God is near, He is also distinct. His omnipresence does not mean He is reduced to the world or to the individual, but rather He is distinct from creation and transcends it, while still being fully present in it.
Comfort and Conviction: For Christians, the omnipresence of the Trinity is both a comfort and a challenge. It is comforting to know God is always near, guiding and sustaining believers. But it also brings conviction, as God's presence is inescapable and offers no hiding from His holiness.
Personal Relationship: God's omnipresence allows believers to have a deeply personal relationship with Him. Through the Spirit, believers are never alone, even when they may feel isolated from others.

6. Application in Christian Life

Constant Presence of God: Believers are reminded no matter where they go, God is already there. This can be a source of peace and assurance, as they recognize they are never abandoned.
Divine Guidance: The Holy Spirit, as the omnipresent aspect of the Trinity, is seen as continually guiding believers, prompting them in decisions, and leading them toward truth and holiness.
Evangelism and Mission: The omnipresence of God is often cited in the context of evangelism and mission work. Since God is already present everywhere, Christians understand their task is to be aware of, and cooperate with, His work already happening in the world.

7. Mystery of the Omnipresence of the Trinity
While the omnipresence of God is central to Christian theology, it remains a mystery. How can God be present fully in every place and time without being limited by space? This is a theological paradox pointing to the infinite and incomprehensible nature of God. Just as the Trinity is a mystery, so is the way in which God's omnipresence operates — it is a reality not fully grasped by human minds.

Summary
The omnipresence of the Trinity teaches God, in all His fullness, is always present everywhere. This presence is not divided among the three persons of the Trinity but is unified, meaning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equally and fully present in every part of creation, sustaining, empowering, and guiding the world according to His will.

The great news is the Bible is positive about families. The family was God's idea, creation and is an integral part of being human. Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and teach them to love and serve one another.

My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.

When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life - Proverbs 6:20-23 NASB1995

God affirms families.
He has always created families to be something powerfully good, places of belonging and trust with learning and loving. God does more than simply lay down a commandment. His Holy Word tells us God is not distant or remote. He cherishes and grieves with us. He sets the example by being the model parent who cares for and nurtures us.

In the Bible, we see God's good plan for families. Through marriage, He brings men and women together to create brand-new families (Genesis 2:23). He gives children as a gift (Psalm 127:3). And through Jesus Christ, God makes a way for all of us to be part of His eternal family.

See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. - 1 John 3:1 NASB1995

God is everything a father should be — perfectly good, faithful, true and trustworthy.
He can always be relied on. He is the ultimate parent, like the closest, most caring guardian or gentlest mother, and He particularly cares for those who are broken by their upbringing. He can heal us and strengthen us.

The wonderful truth is God commands us to be like Him, and through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, He enables us to be more like Him.

Only with His power and healing can we hope to live out God's plan for us.

A lot of people feel this way — as if they need to have everything "in order" before they are worthy of grace or salvation. But the Bible and many Christian teachings emphasize Jesus offers His love and salvation freely, not because we have everything perfect, but because of His grace and mercy. It is about His standards — not our own. Our deeds at this point are void without His saving grace.

Jesus meets people right where they are, often in their mess and struggle. He heals the brokenhearted and those who feel lost, not because they have it all together, but because they need Him in faith. We do not need to be perfect for Him to reach us — we simply need to face we are not perfect. His grace, mercy, and love are for us even during our imperfections.

It might be helpful to remember we are not alone in feeling like this, and it is okay to ask questions and seek faith understanding. Do you want to talk more about what is on your heart?

Jesus died for all people, according to His Holy Word. The Bible teaches His sacrifice was for the salvation of humanity, offering forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God. Verses like:

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 NASB1995

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8 NASB1995

Emphasis, His death was meant for everyone, regardless of background, sin or status.

Different Christian traditions may emphasize aspects of His sacrifice differently, some focusing on the elect and others on universal atonement (as in Arminianism), but the core message is Jesus' death was an act of love meant to offer salvation to all who believe in faith.

His unmistakable light shines endlessly through our darkness. The Holy Spirit searches for lost souls and touches them. He helps everyone realize personally the transforming power of Jesus Christ's gift on the cross. We all need Jesus Christ. Every one of us. Jesus Christ loves us regardless our sins and circumstances, and everyone can accept His love and peace right now.

From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me in a large place. - Psalm 118:5 NASB1995

What is the peace Jesus gives?
According to the Bible, Jesus offers a unique kind of peace different from what the world provides.

1. Peace with God (Reconciliation)
Because of sin, humanity was separated from God. Jesus' death and resurrection restored our relationship.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, - Romans 5:1 NASB1995

2. Inner Peace (Freedom from Anxiety and Fear)
Jesus gives a deep, unshakable peace sustaining believers even in difficult times.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. - John 14:27 NASB1995

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:7 NASB1995

3. Peace with Others (Unity and Love)
Jesus calls His followers to live in peace with others, showing love and forgiveness.

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, - Ephesians 2:14 NASB1995

4. Peace in the Midst of Trials
Even in suffering, Jesus' followers can have peace because they trust in Him.

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 NASB1995

The peace Jesus gives is not just an absence of conflict but a deep, spiritual rest in knowing God is in control. It is a firm peace in every situation, no matter how difficult.

Once we open our heart and invite the Holy Spirit in, the chains enslaving us will be broken. Jesus Christ's grace and mercy on the cross liberates us to walk in a relationship with Him and be the person God created us to be. Jesus Christ's forgiveness frees us to live in the power of His Spirit — not in ourselves. This means we are no longer sin's slave. We are no longer wrestling in our own attempts or our own flesh. We are free. We are free indeed.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; - Isaiah 61:1 NASB1995

Jesus' death is central, because it fulfilled God's plan for salvation. Here are the main reasons why:

1. To Pay for Humanity's Sins
The Bible teaches sin separates people from God (Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23). In the Old Testament, sacrifices were required for the forgiveness of sins (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus, as the perfect and sinless sacrifice (Hebrews 4:15), died to take the punishment humanity deserved (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:18).

2. To Fulfill Prophecy
The Old Testament predicted a suffering servant who would bear the sins of many (Isaiah 53:5-7). Jesus' death fulfilled these prophecies (Luke 24:25-27).

3. To Defeat Sin, Death, and Satan
By dying and rising again, Jesus broke the power of sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). His victory over death offers eternal life to believers (John 11:25-26).

4. To Show God's Love and Justice
God is both loving and just (Psalm 89:14, Romans 3:25-26). The cross demonstrates God's love (John 3:16) while also satisfying justice by paying for sin.

5. To Reconcile Humanity with God
Sin created a barrier between people and God (Colossians 1:21-22). Jesus' death provided a way for people to be restored in their relationship with God (Romans 5:10-11).

In short, Jesus died to bring salvation, fulfill prophecy, demonstrate God's love, and restore the broken relationship between humanity and God. His resurrection then proved His victory and power over sin and death.

Jesus' greatest gift was salvation through grace by faith for eternal life by His sacrifice on the cross. This gift includes several key blessings accordingly:

1. Forgiveness of Sins
Through His death, Jesus paid for humanity's sins (Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:9). His sacrifice made it possible for people to be cleansed and reconciled with God (Colossians 1:13-14).

2. Eternal Life
Jesus offers everlasting life to those who believe in Him (John 3:16, Romans 6:23). He conquered death through His resurrection, giving hope beyond the grave (John 11:25-26).

3. The Holy Spirit
Jesus promised and gave the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, and empower believers (John 14:16-17, Acts 2:38).

4. Peace and Joy
He offers a deep, lasting peace surpassing all understanding (John 14:27, Philippians 4:7). True joy comes from knowing Him (John 15:11).

5. Victory Over Sin and Death
Jesus' resurrection proves sin and death have been defeated (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). Believers are no longer enslaved to sin but are made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

6. Adoption as Children of God
Those who believe in Jesus become part of God's family (John 1:12, Romans 8:15-17). This means an eternal inheritance in God's kingdom (Ephesians 1:3-5).

7. A Personal Relationship with God
Jesus made it possible for people to have direct access to God (Hebrews 4:16). He invites everyone into a personal and loving relationship with Him (Revelation 3:20).

All of these gifts are freely given to those who accept Jesus by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). His gift is often called grace (something we don't earn but receive because of His love).

It is about the Father's glory and the growth of His kingdom.

Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God'; and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." - John 8:54-56 NASB1995
