The Oneness of the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity

1)     In Deity.

The scriptures, given by the inspiration of God, state concerning;

a)     The Father- that He is God our Father, “May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and His grace, gave us eternal encouragement and good hope.” (2nd. Thessalonians.2;16).

b)     The Son- “About the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the sceptre of Your kingdom.’” (Hebrew.1;8).

c)     The Holy Spirit-“Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit...you have not lied to men but to God.” (Acts.5;3-5).

2)     In Lordship.

a)     About the Father –that He is Lord. “At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise You Father, Lord of heaven and earth.’” (Luke.10;21).

b)     About the Son-that He is Lord, “This is the Message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.” (Acts.10;36).

c)       About the Holy Spirit, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2nd. Corinthians.3;17).

3)     3) In Eternity.

a)     The Father is eternal,, “Reverence the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and He enduring forever. (Daniel. 6; 26).

b)     The Son is eternal, “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “Who is and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation. 1;8).

c)      The Holy Spirit is eternal, “How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our conscience from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!” (Hebrews. 9;14).

4)     4) In Their Omnipresence.

a)     The Father, “One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians. 4;6).

b)     The Son. “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew. 18;20).

c)      The Holy Spirit. “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm. 139; 7-10).

    5) In Their Worthiness of Worship.

a) The Father. “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth.(John. 4;23).

b) The Son. “At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians. 2; 10-11).

c) The Holy Spirit, who prepares the believers to worship. “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” (Romans. 8; 26-28).

6) In the Quality of Truth. 

a) The Father is truth. “Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth.” (John. 17;17).

b) The Son is Truth. “Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John. 14;6).

c) The Holy Spirit is Truth. “I will ask the FATHER, AND He will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever-the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.” (John. 14; 16-17).

7) In the Quality of Love.

a) The Father is love. Jesus said, “The Father Himself loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.” (John. 16;27).

b) The Son is love. “You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you.” (John. 15; 14-15).

c) The Holy Spirit is love. “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” (2nd. Timothy. 1;7).
