The Trinity
God is three persons in one: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They’re not three gods. They’re one God, working together in perfect unity and love. It’s hard to fully picture, but it’s how God shows Himself throughout the Bible.
Frequently asked questions
Isn't the Trinity unbiblical?
The word "Trinity" isn't in the Bible, but the idea is. The Bible often shows the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together, acting as one.
How can three be one?
Think of it less like counting objects and more like unity of purpose: three persons, completely one in mind, heart, and power.
