“The word, Trinity. Is it in the Bible?”
Perhaps no other concept hurts my brain more than the word, Trinity. How can our finite minds get around the Godhead – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? How can He be one person and three people at the same time? Sounds like a multiple personality disorder!
Since I have faith in God, I don’t have to understand everything on this side of eternity. Even if I didn’t believe in the Trinity, it doesn’t mean it’s false. I can’t see the wind, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I can see its effects all around me.
There are two verses in particular that clearly mention all three. One is Matthew 28:19:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus gives another description of the Three and Their roles in John 14:15-17:
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
So, don’t let your brain hurt any longer. The Trinity and many other mysteries and questions will be answered and understood one day when God restores His Kingdom forever. Until then, believe by faith in the Triune God who loves you.
