The Bible teaches that there is only one God, but it also indicates that there are three distinct persons within the Godhead: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
Here are a few examples of passages in the Bible that support the doctrine of the Trinity:
- In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus teaches his disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
- In the Gospel of John, Jesus refers to the Father as “the only true God” (John 17:3), but he also says that he and the Father are one (John 10:30) and that he has come from the Father (John 8:42).
- In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit is described as being sent by both the Father and the Son (Acts 2:33).
- In the letters of Paul, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are referred to as distinct persons who are all involved in the salvation of believers (e.g., 2 Corinthians 13:14).
It is important to note that the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery that cannot be fully understood or explained by human reasoning. Christians believe that the three persons of the Trinity are united in one divine being and work together for humanity’s salvation.
