Who Is the Trinity?

One of the most profound truths in the Bible is that God is one Being in three distinct Persons—God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. This is known as the Trinity. While it’s a mystery beyond full human comprehension, the Bible clearly teaches it.

Three Persons, One Almighty God

The concept of the Trinity is not about three separate gods, but one God who exists eternally as three co-equal Persons. Each is fully God, yet together they are one.

An imperfect example is an egg—it has three distinct parts (shell, white, yolk) yet is still one egg. God, however, is infinitely greater than any analogy we can make.

The Trinity in Action: The Baptism of Jesus

One of the clearest moments where all three Persons of the Trinity are revealed is at the baptism of Jesus:

• God the Father spoke from heaven: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

• God the Son (Jesus) was baptized in the Jordan River.

• God the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove.

All three Persons were distinct, yet perfectly united as one God.

God the Father

• Creator of heaven and earth.

• The One who sent His Son into the world to save us.

• The source of all love, truth, and life.

God the Son – Jesus Christ

• Fully God and fully man.

• Lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and revealed God’s heart to humanity.

• Died on the cross to pay for our sins, rose from the dead, and now reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords.

God the Holy Spirit

• Lives within every believer in Jesus Christ.

• Guides, teaches, comforts, and empowers us to live for God.

• Convicts the world of sin and points people to Christ.

Why the Trinity Matters

Understanding the Trinity isn’t just a theological exercise—it deepens our relationship with God. We come to know:

• The Father as our loving Creator.

• The Son as our Savior and Friend.

• The Holy Spirit as our constant Helper and Comforter.

When we grasp—even in part—who God truly is, our worship becomes richer, and our faith grows stronger.
