Difficult Passages on the Triune God
The “difficult passages” actually make a simple point: without the Trinity, there is no true God.
If God were not triune, He could not be love. If He were not triune, He would need creation to fulfill Him. Without the Trinity, we do not have a God who is eternal love or eternal sufficiency. The “difficult passages” actually make a simple point: without the Trinity, there is no true God.

9. Eternal Fellowship with the Triune God
This is the eternal nature of God. God is fellowship. God is love; He is self-giving love. And love must have an object. Thus, in order for God to be love before the creation of the world, He had to be triune!
