The Trinity of God

What is the Trinity of God?

God is One in His Trinity; the Trinity of God is God the Father, God the Son Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity of God is not directly mentioned in the Scripture. However, the Trinity of God is implied in many passages of Scripture (See Comments Matthew 3:16, Comments John 1:1, and Comments John 1:18).

We can imagine the Trinity of God as a triangle with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, all connected as Three Persons in One. God in His Trinity is eternal and creator of all things seen and unseen. Genesis 1:1 tells us that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” and Genesis 1:26 tells us that “God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.” When the Bible says “create in Our likeness,” it means that the Trinity of God has been involved from the beginning of the creation. The Trinity of God has created all things in this time of creation, the world of the seen and the unseen; the God of Three has created all for His pleasure (See Comments John 1:1).

God the Father is eternal and exists before all created things, and in Him, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit exist as well; Three Gods but equal in One, each has its own duty, which makes the Three become One in duty as well. The Father is above all, but the Three are united together in Him (See Comments John 14:28).

The God of Three but One in unity; the duty may be different, but the power and authority are One, and the Father is above all. Think about it this way, in the Father Himself is the unity of the Three (the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit); all of them are in unity as One in the Father. Remember as well, all is in the Father, and everything belongs to the Father (See Comments Matthew 24:36).

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father, but the Son Jesus has His own Spirit as well (See Comments Matthew 27:50, and Acts 16:7). The Lord Jesus is God the Man, and in His humanity, He has Spirit, Soul, and Body. Therefore, the Son Jesus in His complete humanity as Spirit, Soul, and Body is One Person within the Trinity of God (See Comments Matthew 27:50 Comments Luke 23:46). So, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father Himself, but when talking about the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is the beloved Son of God’s Spirit, which is not the same. Each has their own duty and authority, two Spirits but One together within the Trinity. Don’t forget that the earth is the footstool of the Father, both Spirits will be on earth, and each has its own responsibility. When we invite the Holy Spirit to come, the Holy Spirit will work in our hearts and minds. The Holy Spirit’s duty is to testify to our hearts and minds about the Lord Jesus. When we invite the Spirit of the beloved Son of God to come as well, He will work straight in our soul to enlighten and give understanding for the work we do. Our petitions are taken to the Lord Jesus Himself through His Spirit, who then presents them to the Father on our behalf.

The Trinity of God makes the Bible complete, and we cannot leave out any one of the Three: Father, Son Jesus Christ, or Holy Spirit, but the Father is first (See Comments Matthew 20:23).

Why is Faith in the Trinity of God Important for a Christian?

A human cannot be saved alone without the Trinity of God. The soul and spirit of a human need the Trinity faith guideline, which is the Holy Son Jesus who has all in His humanity: the Trinity of God and the human’s three dimensions; all humans will be saved through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the beloved Son of God. If you call yourself a believer, you must believe in the Trinity of God. The God of Three is the base for believers’ faith. Matthew 3:16 tells us that “Jesus, having been baptized, ascended immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, alighting upon Him.” The water baptism of the Lord Jesus is a clear testimony of the Trinity of God in the Bible when all Persons of the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit) testify together to the entire humanity (See Comments Matthew 3:16).
