Overview
The Holy Trinity describes the nature of God as three coequal, coeternal persons sharing one divine essence. The Old Testament foreshadows this mystery through references to God's Spirit and wisdom, while the New Testament explicitly reveals the distinct persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit operating in perfect unity and agreement in salvation history.
Key Scriptures
"And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord" (Isaiah 11:2, ESV).
"And John bore witness: 'I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him'" (John 1:32, ESV).
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" (John 14:26, ESV).
Application
Worship and trust the triune God, recognizing that the Father, Son, and Spirit work together for your salvation and sanctification.
