The Psalms stand out as a distinctive collection of hymns and prayers that serve to deepen our spiritual relationship with God through worship. It can often be challenging to identify and articulate our emotional and mental states during times of worship, but the Psalms aid us in clarifying these inner feelings and help strengthen our bond with the divine. While sermons that are lengthy might sometimes seem dull or monotonous, the Psalms show how powerful music and poetic language can be in fostering genuine worship. They are a vital part of our spiritual practices, guiding us to focus more intently on God and to cultivate a sense of inner peace and stillness. Engaging with the Psalms allows believers to gain insight into their own emotional and mental conditions, making the worship experience more meaningful and personal. Moreover, when we reflect on how our personal identities are shaped, it becomes clear that our understanding of ourselves undergoes a fundamental change in the context of eternity. This perspective is quite different from our view within the confines of time. Time is characterized by limitations, ongoing processes, and a definite starting point. In contrast, God, as the Creator, exists beyond these temporal boundaries and is unaffected by them. This divine nature is rooted in God's unique essence, which cannot be fully defined without intentionally establishing distinctions. Every aspect of God's divine being—His ascension, His authority—is fundamentally different yet trustworthy and unchangeable. As spiritual beings, we are able to claim a unique, eternal identity that exists apart from our natural, temporary selves. Still, at our core, there may be a consistent aspect of our identity. The eternal realm lacks progression, boundaries, or a clear beginning, which is why our true identity in Christ often remains hidden within the limits of time. The nature and existence of God already transcend time, even before the significant event of Christ’s Ascension. We are not usually actively involved in this ongoing divine process of transformation; each day offers a chance for renewal and growth, but we often remain unaware of our true spiritual condition. As a result, we lack complete knowledge of our origins in the past or our potential for the future. Our capacity for full restoration is limited. This is one reason the doctrine of the Trinity emphasizes one divine essence shared among three distinct persons. In eternity, these persons are recognized as equal and united. The Trinity willingly accepts roles of subordination within their relational identities: the Father sends the Son and the Spirit; the Spirit submits to Christ’s authority; and the Son willingly sends the Spirit. The eternal Son existed before creation and is equal with the Father, yet humbled Himself in His incarnation, choosing obedience to the Father’s will. The Spirit operates under the direction of Christ. Despite these roles, the three persons always maintain their equality in the act of creation. The beloved Child in the manger understood these truths deeply. However, confusing the divine essence with personal distinctions would not properly honor or glorify God. The incarnation of the Son is an eternal reality; any notion that subordination is wrong would imply an eternal state, which is why Scripture preserves both the unity of divine essence and the distinction of persons—never blending or merging them. Throughout eternity, the Son remains subordinate to the Father in His personhood, continually fulfilling a subordinate role within the divine relationship.
