The word Trinity, famously, is not
found in the Bible, but the word does very well at capturing a number of
biblical truths. There are actually seven statements that go into the doctrine
of the Trinity:
1. God is one. There’s only one God.
2. The Father is God
3. The Son is God.
4. The Holy Spirit is God.
5. The Father is not the Son.
6. The Son is not the Spirit.
7. The Spirit is not the Father.
If you
get those seven statements, then you’ve captured the doctrine of the Trinity -
what it means when we say there is one God and three persons.
