The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity

1. The Teaching of the ‘Holy Trinity’ is the foundational teaching of the Christian faith. All other
teachings flow from this teaching.
2. The Christian God is a Trinity -- 3 in 1; thus, we say 3 “Persons” in 1 God
3. The 3 “Persons” of the Holy Trinity are separate but equal.
4. The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is strictly monotheistic (one God).
5. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is clearly founded in scripture -- each has a will, each speaks, and
each is called ‘God’.

Trinity
 Creator and provider - Father
 Messiah – Son
 Sanctifier – Holy Spirit

 The doctrine of the Trinity is strictly monotheistic -- ONE God.


 The Trinity is not teaching that there are three gods, but that there are three persons that
comprise one God.

God the Father – Our Creator


 God creates all things from nothing.
 God sustains all things in existence.
 God is our provider.
 God creates and makes all things possible.

5 BASIC REASONS WHY GOD IS OUR FATHER


1. Our Creator- the most obvious reason is that He created us.
2. Our Provider- God is our Father because He provides for our needs.
3. Our Redeemer- God is our Father because He has redeemed us.
4. God’s Indwelling Spirit- As our Father, God sends His Spirit to share His divine life with us.
5. Our Self-Identity/Destiny- Lastly, as with Jesus Himself, God as our Father grounds our own
self-identity. For we are all essentially children of God, destined for life eternal with Him.

God the Son - Son – Our Redeemer


 Jesus saves humanity from their sins by becoming human.
 Jesus came as the Savior of humankind.
 The name Jesus means in Hebrew: “God saves”. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation
from the slavery of SIN.

God the Holy Spirit – Our Sanctifier


 continually makes things holy as a gift sent from the Father and the Son.

The Spirit Unifies


-the Spirit unifies the Church by uniting its members with Christ and with one another.
The Spirit prepares us to accept Christ, and draws us to Him

The Spirit Moves to Ministry


- continues and brings the work of Christ to perfection
- impels everyone to proclaim the Gospel

We become members of the Church upon receiving the Sacrament of Baptism in which the priest invokes
the Triune God.

Jesus taught us that God the Father is the Father of all.
