And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put His seal on us and given us His Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Dear Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
I praise You for saving me from my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life in Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I praise You for who You are. You are holy and perfect in all Your attributes. You transcend Your creation and rise above all things. You are The One True God, the God of Scripture. You are three Persons in One, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are the God of the universe, and there is none like You (Jeremiah 10:6). And You are full of mercy and truth (Psalm 86:15).
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have conspired together from before the foundation of the world to save me from my sins and gift me with eternal life in Jesus. May my praise and devotion to God be extended equally to the three Persons of the Godhead.
God the Father
I praise God the Father who planned my salvation (Eph 1:4). I praise the Father for choosing me before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:5,11). The Father chose to save a people through His Son and to make His magnificent plan of redemption known to the universe (Eph 1:9-10). The Father works all things according to the counsel of His will (Eph 1:11), so I can stand confident and be assured in Him that His plan to save me is grounded in His perfect wisdom and will. The Father drew me to come to Jesus, by His grace. I could have never come to faith in Jesus without the Father who drew me to Him (John 6:44). My faith in Jesus is not by my own doing but a gift by His grace (Eph 2:8-9). Amen!
God the Son
I praise God the Son who purchased my salvation with His precious blood. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of my trespasses (Eph 1:7). Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Heb 9:22). He was the Perfect
Substitute, and He offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time (Heb 10:12). In Christ, I am saved and blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph 1:3, 4,7). Jesus saves willingly, freely, and completely through His perfect life, death, and resurrection. Jesus loved the church and gave Himself up to save and sanctify her because He loves, nourishes, and cherishes her (Eph 5:25-29). The Son set His love and affection on the people the Father planned to save. Jesus purchased my salvation with love and joy. Amen!
God the Holy Spirit
I praise God the Holy Spirit who protects my salvation. When I first put my trust in Jesus, I was immediately sealed with the promised Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). Once the Holy Spirit was poured into my heart sanctification began, and He became the guarantee of my salvation (Eph 1:14). Once saved, always saved. I am eternally secure by God’s grace, and I will never perish. No one can snatch me out of His hand (John 10:28). The Holy Spirit is my Helper who teaches me all things (John 14:26), guides me into all truth (John 16:13), and will be with me forever (John 14:16). He leads me away from error, gently convicts me of sin, and slowly but surely sanctifies me to conform me to the image of Christ. He is my Comforter and Advocate (John 14:26), and He prays for me according to the perfect will of God (Rom 8:27). God the Holy Spirit prays for me on a constant and continual basis as I live my Christian life, and when God prays, His prayers are always answered. When I don't know how I ought to pray, the Holy Spirit knows how to pray for me (Romans 8:26-26). He also prays for me that I may confess Jesus to others. He gives me the courage and the divine compulsion to speak of His Name with conviction. He helps me share the gospel so that others can come to Jesus and be saved too, by God's grace. Amen!
All glory belongs to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 Corinthians 8:6
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one. John 10:28-30
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. John 14:9-11
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17
