Question 2: What is the Trinity?
Answer:The Trinity is the biblical truth that there is one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Read: Matthew 28:16-20
Listen: Matthew 28

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19

Jesus is preparing to ascend to heaven. In this pivotal moment, he links the three persons of the Trinity so directly there is no room to doubt they are all part of the Godhead. The text presents a unified divine authority—one name (singular) yet three persons. This isn’t a command to baptize in three different names but in the one name of the triune God. Jesus reveals the full nature of God, whose authority his followers will have in making disciples. The passage affirms both the unity of God and the distinction of persons (Father, Son and Spirit), capturing the essential truth of the Trinity.

This foundational truth shapes our understanding of God and ourselves. The Trinity isn’t merely a theological puzzle. It reveals that at his core, God is relationship. The Creator of the universe is a community of three persons, characterized by self-giving love, unity and intimacy. This explains why we, created in God’s image, are made for relationships. Our need for community isn’t a weakness but reflects the very nature of God himself. When we grasp that God exists as Father, Son and Spirit in perfect unity and love, it transforms how we approach worship and relationships. We serve a God who is both beyond our full understanding in his greatness yet personal enough to be known in three distinct ways.

TODAY: In your gratitude journal today, thank God for how the Trinity demonstrates his relational nature and how he created us to reflect his relational nature. Small Groups will be starting soon. This is a great time to join a group, grow together in understanding who God is and learn how to live God’s relational nature with others in our church. Learn more and sign up HERE.
