The King, the Constitution, and the Kingdom (Munroe)
Dr. Myles Munroe viewed God as a King — His Word the Constitution of His Kingdom. Humans, made in His image, are His co-regents tasked with expanding that Kingdom on earth (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 6:10). Grudem observes that the Trinity models perfect cooperation and community — divine traits reflected in redeemed humanity’s stewardship.
God’s Origin and Eternality
God has no origin; He is self-existent and eternal. ‘Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God’ (Psalm 90:2). Millard Erickson explains: “God exists necessarily, not contingently — His being is the ground of all existence.”
Reflection Questions
1. How does understanding the Trinity shape your worship and prayer life?
2. What does it mean that Jesus is both God and our High Priest?
3. How does the divine model of community inform our Kingdom role on earth?
4. Why must believers affirm the full divinity of Father, Son, and Spirit?
