Any Unitarian or deistic worshiper can praise God by using timeless divine attributes, speaking of God as beautiful, just or holy. But it takes a trinitarian Christian to praise God not only with attributes, but also in reference to the way those attributes are on full display in the actions of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in history. . . . In worship, trinitarian Christians constantly return to the record of God’s actions in history as the basis for praise, thanksgiving, lament and intercession.
