- Q. Are there more Gods than one?
- A. There is but one only, the Living and True God.
- Q. How many persons are there in the one God?
- A. Three persons are in the one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance and equal in power and glory.
Memory Verse(s)
- “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20, ESV).

- Bible Story: Matthew 3: The Baptism of Jesus testifies to the Trinity.
Thoughts
- There is one God in three persons. Each person of the trinity is separate from the other two but fully and equally God.
- The word trinity is not found in the Bible but the early church fathers developed the term to easily explain the concept.
- There are many illustrations that try to explain but don’t completely and fully explain the trinity. Norman Geisler best explains it using the mathematical formula of
- 1 X 1 X 1 = 1.
- Each person of the trinity has distinctive roles. This is not an exhaustive list but a simple example. The Father has predestined believers to salvation, Christ has redeemed believers through His death, and the Holy Spirit is our guarantee of salvation. Refer to (Ephesians 1:3–14).
Discussion Questions
- What is the trinity?
- How does the baptism of Jesus display the trinity?
- What is a good illustration to explain the trinity?
- Is one part of the trinity more powerful then another?
- How do the different persons of the trinity work together for our good?
