The Trinity
The Trinity
The word Trinity isn’t found in the Bible. Because of that there are people, even pastors who don’t believe the Trinity exists. The Bible however makes it crystal clear that God is in fact, three persons in one.
If you don’t believe in the Trinity, then you most likely have a lack of understanding and accuracy regarding other important issues in the Bible. The full knowledge of the Trinity can’t be overlooked or minimized. This all-important aspect of God’s identity must be fully grasped by every believer.
First of all, in the book of Genesis it states that man is made in God’s image. Man is a three-part being. 1 Thessalonian 5:23 says, And I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless.
Man is a three part being, and God is three persons in one.
Genesis 1:26, Let us make man in our image. There is more than one being whom man is crafted after.
1 John 5:7, There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. This wording is abundantly clear.
Matthew 28:19, The Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
It may be difficult to get our mind around three persons in one, so these analogies might help:
Water analogy – Solid, liquid, vapor…all at 32 degrees
Corporation analogy – One entity with three partners
Egg analogy – White, yoke, shell
Scripture to further help us understand:
