The Trinity
Please get me right here and do not be carried away
carnally. Be Spiritual minded!
Though the word Trinity itself does not appear in the Bible
but the distinctions among God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are found in the
Bible. This must be understood as being the way God is in Himself. However, it
is difficult for our fallen minds to grasp this fact. The three are equal but neither
identical nor interchangeable.
The doctrine of the Trinity, that God is One and composed of
three ‘Persons’, is crucial because it is dealing with four things:
who God is,
what He is like,
how He works, and
how He relates to the world.
Above all and most importantly, the deity of Christ is essential
to the plan of salvation.
Also, in the scripture, we need to understand three separate
but interrelated types of evidence for the Trinity….theTri-unity of God. these
include
Evidence for the unity of God, that God is One.
Evidence that there are three Persons who are God; and
Subtle textual hints of God’s three-in-oneness.
Some early Adventists struggled with this doctrine before
SDA Church today finally stood firm on it. Here comes SDA 2nd
fundamental Belief which says,” There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
a unity of three co-eternal Persons.”
