The Trinity

Front

What is the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

Back

The Trinity is the belief that there is one God who exists eternally in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are distinct in personhood but one in essence or nature.

Explanation

This doctrine seeks to reconcile the biblical affirmations that there is only one God with the biblical evidence for the divinity of the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Source or basis: Nicene Creed; Athanasian Creed
