24. How are these articles divided?
Into three parts: the first is of God the Father and our creation; the second, of God the Son and our redemption; the third, of God the Holy Ghost and our sanctification.[1]
[1]I Pet. 1:2; *I Jn. 5:7.

25. Since there is but one Divine Being,[1] why do you speak of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
Because God has so revealed Himself in His Word,[2] that these three distinct persons are the one, true, eternal God.
[1]Deut. 6:4. [2]Isa. 61:1; Ps. 110:1; Mt. 3:16-17; 28:19; I Jn. 5:7; *II Cor. 13:14.
