Did you know that the concept of the Trinity–one God existing as three persons in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—is more than just one aspect of God’s nature? Learn from author Warren Wiersbe in The Trinity: The Blessing of God’s Grace, Love, and Fellowship how you can receive the blessings that God desperately desires to give you. You’ll discover how a relationship with God enables you to become who He wants you to be. Allow Him to season you with grace and love so that, in turn, you can bless others.

Scattered throughout the Bible are statements of blessing that we call benedictions. For centuries, Christian worship services ended with the leader pronouncing a blessing upon the gathered believers before they departed.

In this excerpt from Warren Wiersbe’s book Bless You, we will take a look at one of these benedictions. This blessing of the apostle Paul to the church at Corinth is packed with insight about the God we serve. In one verse, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul gives us words that lift our hearts to the God who longs to bless us with His grace, His love, and His presence.
