    Study Notes

    The Sun, its Light and its Heat

    • The sun is not the same as its light and heat, but they are one thing, illustrating the concept of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God.
    • The sun cannot exist without its light or heat, similarly, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist together and never separate.

    The Equilateral Golden Triangle

    • The equilateral golden triangle has three connected lines, representing the connection between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who share one Holy Nature.
    • Each line of the triangle is made of the same material (gold), symbolizing the equality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
    • The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have specific qualities that differentiate them, but they are never separated.

    The Holy Spirit

    • The Holy Spirit is God, as stated in the Holy Bible (Job 33:4).
    • After baptism, the Sacrament of Confirmation is received, where the priest anoints with Holy Myron oil, and the Holy Spirit dwells in us, making us children of God.
    • The Holy Spirit supports us in our lives through the means of grace, such as praying, fasting, reading the Holy Bible, repenting, confessing, and receiving communion.
    • The more we practice the means of grace, the more we grow spiritually and are filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).
    • Examples of living with the Holy Spirit include the wise virgins who were ready, with their lamps full of oil, and the opposite, the foolish virgins who were not ready.
    • The fruit of the Holy Spirit will show in our lives, including love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
