For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

1 John 5:8

We serve a God who exists in three persons. He is one God consisting of three equal Persons. The belief in the Trinity is fundamentally significant. To identify as a Christian, one must accept the Scriptural teaching that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all divine in nature and are equal. Jesus, the Son, was present with God the Father during creation, as noted in Genesis 1:26, where it states, Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

The profound mystery of the Trinity is a doctrine that cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind. We are not required to completely grasp the truth of the Trinity; rather, we are instructed to accept the teaching by faith. Numerous instances throughout the Gospels and the Bible illustrate the divine unity of the Godhead. For instance, at Christ’s baptism, God the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit descended on Christ the Son.

The persons of the Trinity are not separate or independent from one another; they operate in unity. The Holy Spirit who dwells in believers is God Himself. Without this magnificent Godhead, the forgiveness of sins, salvation from sin, and the struggle against sin would be impossible. Charles H. Spurgeon, known as the Prince of Preachers, once expressed, “It requires the Trinity to make a Christian, to encourage a Christian, to complete a Christian, and to instil in a Christian the hope of glory.” Today, let us, as God’s people, worship Him with joyful praise. Let us pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus the Son, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
