As Christians we recognize the Bible as God-given revelation of His character and the purpose for His creation. One complex topic that is presented repeatedly in the text is the doctrine of the trinity. Though never named as such in scripture, the trinity plays an integral role in expressing who God is. The trinity is not a belief in three gods but rather one God in three eternal persons. There is only one God. He isn’t merely playing a role, but rather personifies each person of the Godhead. Within God’s one undivided being there is an unfolding into three interpersonal relationships such that there are three real persons. The Bible says in Phil.1:2 that God is the Father; Titus
2:13 states that Jesus is God; Acts 5:3-4 reiterates that the Holy Spirit is also God. The Bible further indicates that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three distinct persons. They have always been and will always be. God the Father is the Source of all things. His primary roles/titles include Creator, Judge, Reconciler, Most High God and the Great I Am. He is loving and personal. His son, Jesus, was fully God and fully man. He is the source of our salvation through His death and resurrection as well as our eternal hope. Through Him we have access to the Father and a promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth and wisdom. He is our Comforter and Counselor. The Spirit dwells within us connecting us to the Father and the Son. We are selling ourselves short if we recognize the trinity in word only. We invite you to journey with us into a deeper look at why it is vital to know and understand all aspects of the trinity, including the Holy Spirit.
