Bible Question: What passage of scripture would reference that the Father and the Son were already in a loving relationship before God made man? |
Bible Answer: First, I would say that the Trinity is very mysterious. Noone can fully comprehend the nature of the Godhead. While the Trinity is revealed in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spririt), God is one in essence; there is one God. So, it is difficult to understand how each person of the Trinity relates to the others. However, one of the most interesting concepts that show the Father's love for the Son is found in that the Father gave the church to the Son as a love gift (John 17). At the end of that chapter (vs. 24) Christ refers to the Father as having loved Him (Christ) before the foundation of the world. I could go on and on, but hopefully, this answers your question. |
