To try to capture God’s power and beauty would be like a blind person trying to describe to another blind person the most glorious sunset. 

 

It can be challenging to talk about God and the Trinity because most of what I or anyone could say would be an understatement of His power and genuine divine glory. We cannot grasp or understand God's true nature, and we cannot put Him in a box. Since God is unchangeable, infinite, and Divine, we are still unable to depict or even visualize what God, our Father, could perhaps look like. Every element of God is mysterious. God is not at all simple or straightforward; in fact, quite the opposite. How could we even start to fully understand the God who created the heavens, the earth, and everything in it? No science or advance technology will ever answer our questions about God. Nothing said or done for God will ever give the justice He deserves.

"For there is nothing that God cannot do.” (Luke 1:37)

Some people may see the Christian faith as a "Religion of the Book" faith, as the Bible is of high supreme in our faith; yet, the Christian faith is the religion of the Word; the religion of communication with the One living and ever present God. Christianity is a monotheism religion, which means we have one God. However, three persons are known as God in the Christian faith; The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This idea is known as the Trinity. It is the unbreakable bond between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A modern approach to understanding the Trinity is the fidget spinner, which was a trendy toy back in 2017 and was used by some Christians to represent the concept of the Trinity. Christians recognise the three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as the fidget spinner’s outer circles, which all connect to the centrepiece circle, which is God. 

The word Trinity isn’t used in the Bible, but the concept’s there. The Trinity was first written about by Theophilus of Antioch around the year 180 AD. 

 

In the New Testament, we see a more precise perspective of the Trinity; and learn what and who it is. “Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)

The Trinity means in summary that God the Father is God; Christ the Son (Jesus) is God and the Holy Spirit is God, however they are distinct from each other. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit and visa-versa. We know this while reading the New Testament. Jesus claims that He knows the Father, and the Father knows Him, however Jesus talks to the Father acting as a completely different person from the Father.

​

From the first page of Genesis, we see that God is referring to himself as more than just one person. “Then God said, ‘And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small.’”(Genesis 1:26). Why would God be using the words “we”, “us” if He was only referring to one individual? When we worship God, we worship all three persons in the one God. Another verse that conveys this idea of the Trinity is found also in the book of Genesis, in Genesis 18:1-3. Some translations speak that Abraham sees three men but acknowledges one Lord.

God is infinite, transcendent and capable of all things. 

​

It is the attribute of God, of the most high and almighty and of the living God, not only to be everywhere, but also to see and hear all; for he can in no way be contained in a place... The three days before the stars were created are types of the Trinity: God, his Word, and his Wisdom [To Autolycus 2:15 (c. A.D.181)]  

​

The Father is not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. The Son is from the Father alone, not made or created, but begotten… Let him who wishes to be saved think thus concerning the Trinity. But it is necessary for eternal salvation that he faithfully believe also in the incarnation… He is God begotten of the substance of the Father before time, and he is man born of the substance of his mother in time… This is the Catholic faith; unless everyone believes this faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved [Athanasian Creed (c. A.D. 425)].
