Communion with the Triune God is unavailable, but you can change that!

Does it make a difference that the God Christians claim to worship has revealed himself as triune-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Does this fundamental truth of biblical authority have an effect on a believer's personal fellowship with God? Puritan theologian John Owen recognized the great need for every believer to understand the triune God. Communion with the Triune God revisits the truth...

To commune with the Son we must know him and abandon our inaccurate distortions. “There are none who despise Christ, but only they that know him not; whose eyes the god of this world hath blinded, that they should not behold his glory.”89 Consequently, Owen encourages his readers to “study him a little; you love him not, because you know him not.”90 Our sin is that we do not know the bounty of Christ’s mercy, and thus we do not receive from him what he is ready to supply.91
