The Trinity ISN’T Hard to Understand! It really isn’t when you look at what the Bible says about it
Many people believe that the idea of the Trinity is one of the most difficult to understand in the Christian faith.
I very much disagree! God does not intentionally confuse us as to who he is. He desires an intimate, interactive relationship with us.
He created us in his image so he could communicate with us. He walked with his new creation in the Garden of Eden.
When humanity intentionally broke the intimate relationship that they had, God immediately set in place a plan to bring people back into fellowship with Himself. That plan culminated in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus that once again made possible an intimate relationship with God.
With that foundational reality, why do we have the problems in understanding who our God is? The challenge to understand the Trinity is the same challenge of understanding everything else about our faith.
We need to look at what God’s Word says about it, which I’ll help you do and so you won’t simply accept statements about the Trinity that go along the lines of something like this. “Oh, it’s just a mystery we can’t understand.”
Many hear that and quit there. But we won’t. We will look at God’s Word and the passages that specifically deal with the Trinity.
We’ll do that in a series of THREE LESSONS about the Trinity—links for the first two lessons follow.
Understanding the Trinity, Part 1, looks at the persons of the Trinity and how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are uncreated, co-equal and eternal persons.
Next, Understanding the Trinity Part 2 will deal with the one substance of the Trinity. This lesson will talk about the attributes or the characteristics shared by the members of the Trinity and what that means to us.
Understanding The Trinity Part 3, the Trinity throughout the Bible Here we’ll look at the descriptions of the Trinity and the roles of each member in the Old and New Testaments.
Notes, videos, podcast charts and all the associated resource links that you need are available on www.bible805.com and if you would like to teach the lesson, the source materials to do that also on the Trinity and many other topics are all free editable and you don’t need to attribute them to either me or Bible805. Following are the links to the podcasts, videos, and handouts of the first two parts.
