1. The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most important distinguishing doctrines of the Christian faith and therefore is deserving our careful study, passionate embrace, and thoughtful application.
2. The doctrine of the Trinity is both central and necessary for the Christian faith to be what it is. Remove the Trinity and the whole Christian faith disintegrates.
3. Worship of the true and living God consciously acknowledges the relationship and roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
4. The Christian's life of prayer must rightly acknowledge the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as we pray to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
5. The Christian's growth in Christlikeness or sanctification is rightly understood and enriched when seen as the work of the triune God.
6. The triune relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cause us to marvel at the unity of the triune God.
7. The triune relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cause us to marvel at the diversity within the triune God.
8. The triune relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cause us to wonder at the social relationality of the trinue God.
9. The trinue relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cause us to marvel at the authority-submission structure that exists eterally in the three Persons in the Godhead, each of whom is equally and fully God.
10. The doctrine of the Trinity...provides one of the most important and neglected patterns for how human life and human relationships are to be conducted.
