trinity

Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle posited that the world has genuine meaning and purpose. The cosmic values of truth (that which defines reality), goodness (that which fulfills its purpose), and beauty (that which is lovely) were objective in nature and knowable by the noble seeker. Since human beings had the internal capacities of logos (reason), ethos (morality), and pathos (emotion), these internal capacities corresponded to the cosmic values and brought forth human fulfillment:

  • Logos corresponds to truth

  • Ethos corresponds to goodness

  • Pathos corresponds to beauty


Christian philosophers and theologians appropriated the truth of these cosmic values as truths of general revelation and grounded them in the nature of the triune God. God does not have truth, goodness, and beauty; rather:

  • All truth IS God’s truth

  • All goodness IS God’s goodness

  • All beauty IS God’s beauty


The abundance Christ promised is a life in pursuit of and thrives in truth, goodness, and beauty - the majesty of God.


2 Corinthians 13:14 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
