The Trinity
Your view of the Trinity reveals whether you understand basic Christian doctrine. If you understand this the wrong way, it can affect much of what you believe about God.
The Father- Distinct person, same essence!
God the Father is the eternal source and authority. He sends the Son (John 3:16). He adopts us as children. He disciplines and loves.
Jesus, the Son-Different role, same essence!
He is eternally begotten, not created. He is the Word made flesh (John 1:14). He is our Savior and mediator. He is fully God and fully human.
The Holy Spirit- Distinct person, same essence!
The Helper Jesus promised. He convicts us, teaches us, and guides us, (John 16:13). He lives within believers. He is a person, not just a force.
One God, Three Persons!
They co-exist eternally. They are co-equal in essence but have different roles.
Not three Gods. Not one person playing three roles.
