Holy Trinity Reveals the
Father, Son, Holy Spirit

Holy Trinity in Revelation

The Holy Trinity points to the Eternal Father, his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible reveals the Holy Trinity in many places. John writes about the Holy Trinity in chapter one of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

⁴John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ^5aAnd from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth (Rev. 1:4, 5a, KJV).

Holy Trinity in the Bible

John greets the seven churches in Asia from the three persons of the Godhead or Holy Trinity. The greetings come from … him which is, and which was, and which is to come; this points to the Father. The … seven Spirits before the Throne point to the Holy Spirit. Then the Son names himself the Faithful Witness and the resurrected Christ. Perhaps John the apostle thinks of the words that he wrote in his Gospel.

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ¹⁴And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:1–3, 14, KJV).

In these verses, John used the phrase “the Word” in exchange for Jesus Christ. The Word of God created all thrones, all powers, all rulers, and all authorities here on earth and in Heaven. Jesus created the earth and everything in it, even the smallest insects and the specks of dust in the atmosphere.

The Word holds the universe together for all time from the beginning to the end. He’s the head of his body the church; he’s the firstborn from the dead. Jesus Christ, as part of the Holy Trinity, controls all things on earth. (Col. 1:15–20).

¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ²And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (Gen. 1:1, 2, KJV).

Moses writes about the creation when he starts the Bible with, “In the beginning.” John starts his Gospel about Jesus Christ with, “In the beginning.” In Genesis 1, we see the Almighty God and the Holy Spirit before the creation of the universe. In John 1, we see Jesus before the creation of the universe.

The Bible does not use the term Holy Trinity, but the Bible contains many references to the Triune God (2 Cor. 13:14). God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit have always been, and they always will be. With the Lord there’s no beginning and no end. The Lord is unchanging: the same throughout eternity (Matt. 28:19).

Holy Trinity of Godhead shows unity of three Gods

Holy Trinity reveals one God

The three persons of the Holy Trinity are distinct and separate: yet, they are one (Eph. 4:4–6). This gives us the mystery of the Godhead—we wonder how this can be? The Christian Church holds the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as one of their oldest beliefs (1 Pet. 1:2). As we look at the traditional teachings of the Christian Church and study the Bible, we should grow in our understanding and accept the Holy Trinity by faith (Luke 3:21, 22).

Holy Trinity—One God

The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit,
three separate Persons, and yet One.
Divine mystery beyond perception.
We look at One—We look at All.
We pray to One—We pray to All.
We love One—We love All.
One love’s us—All love us.
Father–Son–Holy Spirit—One God.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity separates the Christian Church from other religions. We believe by faith, in the God of the Holy Trinity. The power of the Holy Spirit helps us believe and understand the Holy Trinity.
