The doctrine of the Trinity states that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. As Trinity, God exists in perfect relationship, love, worship, communication, leadership, submission, and equality. As beings created in His image, we were made for community, for relationship. If we want our relationships to be healthy, fulfilling, and meaningful, we must model them after the Trinity.

As Trinity, God exists in perfect relationship, love, worship, communication, leadership, submission, and equality. These are just a few characteristics of the Trinity which are infinitely practical when applied to our lives.

The doctrine of the Trinity is one God who eternally exists as three distinct equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. While this is certainly a challenging concept, many - admittedly limited - analogies have been formed to help us understand. And this doctrine of God is not only essential to the Christian faith, but is also vastly practical and applicable to proper human life.

The doctrine of the Trinity says there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct, equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. We do not believe in a God who is one person wearing different hats; neither do we believe in three gods working together. Rather, we worship one God who exists in three persons; essentially three-in-one.

The doctrine of the Trinity says there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. This understanding is crucial to the Christian Faith. There are many heresies, or false teachings, about the Trinity. Too many for this blog. But, they can basically be categorized into two broad types.

The doctrine of the Trinity says there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. Properly understanding this doctrine is important to our Faith. First, it is important to understand God as He has revealed Himself in Scripture. John 4:23-24 says we are to worship “in spirit and in truth.” In order to worship in truth, we must know who it is we are worshiping. Worshiping our own version of God is not worshiping the true God; and that is idolatry!

As promised, here is a blog about doctrine and theology. We’ll start at the beginning, with God, by examining the doctrine of the Trinity. Theologians have defined the Trinity in this way: One God who eternally exists as three distinct equal persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, who are each equally God. Let’s unpack this a little.

Theology is very important. It’s a word that literally means “God-study.” For Christians, theology undergirds everything we do. If we are to live as God intends for us to live, and if we are to accomplish the mission God has given us, it is imperative that we correctly understand God as He has revealed Himself in Scripture. We must also understand how the nature of God and His revelation in the Bible shapes our lives and our Faith.
