"Understanding the Trinity of God"
[we must start with understanding Who God is because we were made like Him, not Him like us]

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." -- Ephesians 5:1-2

1. They (the Trinity) are always with eachother
> John 1

2. They are for eachother
[They aren't independant, but always giving and exalting one another. This is rooted in Their distinct differences]

> Matthew 3:17-17
> John 14:30-31, 16:12-15, 17:20-26
> Philipians 2:5-11
> Genesis 1:26-27
> Genesis 2:18-25

Questions to ask yourself:

a) how have you seen God be with you and for you?
b) how does your gender difference/distinctiveness reflect something of God?
c) how do men and women need to learn to be with and for eachother in your social/church circles?
