1. The Trinitarian Origins of the
Church
(Biblical Basis)

2. God the father
• In the Book of Genesis, God the Father prepared
the Church by calling Abraham from whom
Israel the People of God was born. God chose to
initiate His saving plan on Asian soil, through
men and women of that continent. It was in Asia
that God revealed and fulfilled His saving
purpose from the beginning. He guided the
patriarchs and called Moses to lead His people
to freedom.

3. Jesus Christ
In “fullness of time”, God sent His only-begotten
Son, Jesus Christ, who took flesh as an Asian. In
the Gospel, we saw how Jesus Christ prepared
the Church by first calling on His 12 Apostles.

4. Holy Spirit
• In the Acts of the Apostles, it was the Holy Spirit
who empower the Apostles to boldly proclaim
the Good News and establish the Church willed
by the Father and founded by Jesus Christ the
Son of God among the believers, Jews and Non-
Jews. The Holy Spirit completed this plan as He
brought many more people responding to the
Apostles’ proclamation and invitation to believe
and accept the Risen Christ.
