None Like Him: 5 Attributes of GodSample

God Is Three in One

God is three in one.
God is Father.
God is Son, Jesus Christ.
God is Holy Spirit.
God doesn’t stop being one to be another. He is all three at the same time: our Father, our Savior, and our Advocate. The church calls this the Trinity.

Have you ever noticed how many people we need daily? It didn’t take me long to realize that God places different people in our lives for different things. Practically speaking, we don’t call our science teacher to help us with English homework. Our parents don’t call the pool guy to take care of electrical problems. You and I don’t call our friend who’s in a hard spot to lightheartedly chat about how fun life is.

The Bible makes it clear that God plays many roles. He has many roles. And the beauty of God is that He is not limited. His divinity allows Him to be and to do more than we ever could. God the Father created us. God the Son came to earth and saved us. And God the Holy Spirit guides and sustains us. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons, with different roles. The difference between my example and the Trinity is that the Father, Son, and Spirit are all one God. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, and the Spirit is not the Father. Jesus is God, but He is not the Father or the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, but He is not the Son or the Father.

God’s three-in-oneness may feel confusing. Remember, as humans, we are limited in our understanding and abilities. Our minds can’t comprehend too much at once, let alone fully understand how God is three in one. The God who made you can hold and handle any problem you face and any question you have. Ask Him to help you understand the Trinity as best you can.

After all, God’s three-in-oneness (or triunity) makes Him distinct. Our God is unlike any god of any other religion and better than what anyone can conjure up or imagine. Since the beginning of time, God has been living in love for all of eternity.

Being the Trinity is who God is.
