Foundation Study #3: The Trinity

Use the Discovery Study tool to discuss this doctrinal statement.

1. God is one, and he eternally exists in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 
2. The Trinity cannot be fully comprehended, as He is infinite and the human mind is finite (Isaiah 55:8-9). 
3. The word ‘Trinity’ is nowhere found in Scripture, but Scripture clearly teaches that:

• There is one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, James 2:19).
• The Father is God. (1 Peter 1:2, Romans 15:6, 1 Corinthians 8:6)
• The Son (Jesus) is God. (Titus 2:13, John 1:1, Colossians 1:15-17, Hebrews 1:3)
• The Holy Spirit is God. (Acts 5:3-4)
