The Being of God
Divine Essence
Theology Proper · 4 verses
The essence of God is pure spirit, infinite in being and perfection, wholly other than His creation. He subsists in three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who are co-equal and co-eternal in the one undivided divine essence. This unity of essence with distinction of persons is the incomprehensible mystery of the Holy Trinity.
