Today I would like to look at the doctrine of the Trinity. This is one of the most well-known doctrines from the Bible. Many people have heard of this doctrine and may even be able to define it.
Before we look at the doctrine of the Trinity, we need to understand that the Bible state that there is a God as a fact. It never tries to prove this.
The Bible says the fool hath said in his heart, there is no God (Ps. 14:1).
Who is the God of the Bible? There are many beliefs about who God is, how much interest He has in man, and what He approves or disapproves of. Some think God is a bully who enjoys punishing man—while others think God loves all things and approves of every sin and wickedness.
In the next few weeks, we will look at the character of God. God is a person. He has love, mercy, grace, compassion, patience—and yet He is holy, just, and righteous. Because of His holiness, He must judge the sins of men.
The Bible tells us there is but one God.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
All the other so-called gods of this world and idols. Humans since their fall in the garden have given their worship to these gods of wood and stone. Giving them worship does not make them the God of the universe.
So today let’s start with the Trinity. We will look later at the character of God.
