The word Trinity is not found in the Bible, but the truth of it is.  While there’s only one God, the Godhead consists of three distinct persons—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  All are equally omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal, and unchanging, but each is unique in function.

Scripture not only shows how each member of the Trinity fulfills a specific role but also reveals how those three roles interrelate and work harmoniously to make salvation and sanctification possible.

Having designed the way mankind would be redeemed, the Father set into motion events and prophecies that culminated in the life and death of a Savior. The Son carried out the plan, following His Father’s instructions to come to earth and die for our sins (John 6:37-38).  The Holy Spirit sees to it that all people are exposed to evidence of God (Romans 1:19-20) so they can feel a call toward His saving grace (John 16:8).  And He transforms the lives of those who receive Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equal in their divine attributes.  Yet each has a different responsibility when it comes to humanity’s greatest need.  Take a moment today to thank each member of the Trinity for the many blessings you’ve received.
