### 24. Q. How are these articles divided?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

**A**. Into three parts: God the Father and our creation; God the Son and our deliverance; and God the Holy Spirit and our sanctification.

### 25. Q. Since there is only one divine being,<sup>1</sup> why do you speak of three: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A**. Because that is how God has revealed himself in his Word:<sup>2</sup> these three distinct persons are one, true, eternal God.
