What is the Trinity and how is it explained to us. Let's start with 1st (John 5:7) “For there
are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit;
and these three are one.” Jesus Spoke to us in (John 10:30) when He said “ I and my Father
are one.” The Lord Jesus and the God in Heaven are one God. In the very beginning of the
bible, in the verse (Gen 1:2) “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Notice
in this verse God has separated Himself and told us His Spirit hovered over the water. Later
(Gen 1:26) it say’s “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our
likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over
the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Who is
Us and Our in that verse brethren? That Us and Our is the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. From the beginning, all three were there, from the foundations of creation.
Listen to Jesus when He spoke in (John 8:56-58) to the Jews “Your father Abraham rejoiced
to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet
fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to
you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Jesus was there at the very beginning of creation with the
Father and the Spirit. Before Abraham was, I AM. This speaks Abraham a creature and our
Lord the Creator; well, therefore, might He make himself greater than Abraham. I AM, is the
name of God, (Ex 3:14); it speaks his self-existence; He is the First and the Last, ever the
same, (Rev 1:8). Thus he was not only before Abraham, but before all worlds, (Pr 8:23; John
1:1). As Mediator, he was the appointed Messiah, long before Abraham; the Lamb slain from
the foundation of the world, (Rev 13:8).
The Lord Jesus was made of God Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption,
to Adam, and Abel, and all that lived and died by faith in him, before Abraham. When we
repent of our sins and are baptized, does the Lord not tell us in (Matt 28:18-19) “And Jesus
came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” the blessed Trinity of God. Three persons
wholly God, equal in power and glory, and possesses precisely the same attributes and
perfection acting in perfect unison as one God. (Deut 6:4)
