When we discuss what theologians refer to as the Trinity, we are not only addressing a Christian doctrine but an attribute of God. We are also confronted with a principle that is distinctive to the Christian faith. No where among all the religions of the world will you find the claim that God is One, revealed as three distinct persons.
This Biblical principle is the cornerstone of Christian thought, while at the same time it is never mentioned specifically in any of the sixty-six historical documents assembled as Holy Scripture. Nevertheless, the concept of the Trinity specifically addresses two basic thoughts on God: Who He is, and What He is.
The concept of a Triune God is undoubtedly the most difficult concept to understand and equally difficult to explain, but that does not make the concept any less true. Given all the other attributes of God, one will quickly deduce that He is infinitely greater than we are, not limited by any restrictions, and entirely distinct from all of creation.
As a result, while we are able to grasp a few truths revealed of the Trinity, it will forever remain a mystery this side of Glory.
BRANDOFMAN; Season 1 – Episode 7 encourages us all to renew our minds in the knowledge of God, and reclaim a worldview for the cause of Christ. We will commit to knowing what we believe, and why we believe it, and to better know God as He has revealed Himself to the world.
