Trinity of God is a scriptural concept used to express the collective unity and character of God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It is considered to be a divine mystery beyond human comprehension.
Some believe that “Jesus Christ” is the only entity of God; that He is God Father, the Savior, and the Holy Spirit, all in one being.
Others believe there are three entities in one collective unity: “God the Father,” “God the Son,” and ” God the Holy Spirit.”
Either way, the various views do not affect God’s Plan of Salvation.
Before understanding the Trinity, it is first essential to understand the Oneness of God:
The three members of the Godhead (forming a Trinity) are easily identified in the following Scripture:
“And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the Heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And there came a voice from Heaven, saying Thou art my beloved, Son in whom I am well pleased,” (Mark 1:10-11).
The above Scripture identifies the “Father,” the “Son,” and the “Holy Spirit as individual entities.”
“Jesus, God the Son” (who had been baptized)
“The Holy Spirit” (descending upon the Son)
“The Father” (speaking from Heaven)
In the following Scripture, Stephen saw “God the Father,” and “Jesus,” together in Heaven:
“But He, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into Heaven, and saw the Glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55).
Stephen saw “God the Father” and “Jesus” at the same time, in Heaven. The Scripture tells us the “Holy Spirit” was in Stephen, again revealing a Trinity.
In the Bible
The reference to God is usually to “God the Father.”
The Reference to either The Word or Jesus is to “God the Son.”
The reference to the Holy Spirit is to “God the Holy Spirit.”
