Essence & Energies–Glorification in the Christian Life: Fellowship in the Trinity (T-H-E-O-S-I-S)

This video focuses on the E in T-H-E-O-S-I-S, which underscores the distinction between the essence and the energies of the Triune God. What must be understood here is that we are compelled to recognize in God an ineffable distinction—a distinction other than that between his Oneness and his Triunity. This distinction is that of the essence of God and the energies by which He goes forth from Himself, and by which He gives Himself. The energies of God are therefore God Himself but not according to His essence. Here’s the point: Just as we make a distinction between the persons and the essence of the Triadic One, so we rightly distinguish between His energies and His essence. ———— ✅ Get a copy of Hank’s book, Truth Matters, Life Matters More, by helping us to keep producing our content.
