The Trinity

The Trinity (my understanding)

I wanted to share with you guys my understanding of the Trinity of God.

The Trinity of God is much more than like an egg that has 3 parts, (white yoke, and shell) or the 3 states of water, (liquid, solid, and vapor). The Trinity is all about the image of God that we were created in.

Some may say the trinity of man is body, soul, and spirit. This may be true but it is not the “image” that the Word is talking about in Genesis.

Gen_1:26  Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;…

There are three things and only three things that describe the full capabilities of mankind. These three abilities are; thought, words, and deeds. These three abilities are what separate us from ever other living thing. This is the “image” that we share with our Lord. Of course we cannot separate these three abilities into three persons, we are not gods. The Father is the ‘thought” behind everything, the Son is the Word that calls it forth, the Spirit is what makes it a reality.

This Trinity of God is seen working together throughout scripture.

In creation – the Father thought of what to create and when,  the Son called it forth, and the Spirit, (hovering over the face of the waters) made it a reality.

Jesus raising Lazarus – Jesus called him from the grave, but it was the Holy Spirit that filled his rotting corpse and brought him out of the tomb.

In revelation (man’s trinity) - Rev 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. When all three capabilities of a man are of the flesh and this world, he is surely doomed.

Only the Father knows - Mat_24:36  "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. Jesus is God, so why doesn't He also know the day and hour. It is because that is the part of the Trinity that is the Father.

I could go on, but I think you get my drift.

God bless
