Last week we showed clearly the scriptural support for the Trinity – 1John 5:7, John 1:1-3 c. The Trinity requires faith in the scriptures 2. CHRIST HAS TO BE GOD TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SIN a. There is one God – Duet 6:4, Isa 45:5 b. Salvation comes from God alone – Isa 45:17-25, Jer 3:23, Psalm 3:7 but ….. Act 4:12 c.
