Trinity: The Father, God The Father And God

The term trinity is used to indicate the doctrine used in the Christian faith that is interpreted as symbolizing that God is unified in his existence in three definite persons which is God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit (Hodgson, Juugel, Kelly, Presitge, Wainwright, 2016). The essence of understanding the trinity is comprehending that God is three persons, each person is divine, and there is only one God (Johnson, 2014, 174-175). Theologians may debate that the term persons may not be the appropriate term in reference to the trinity just because persons may be viewed as actually being separated in the physical since (Gordon, 2015, 485). However, in reference to God there is not three different beings or entities, but the term

In the trinity father comes first because God is the creator who is not begotten who then entered the world in a physical form who is begotten (Geis, 2013, 23). The father creates the son who is sent redeems and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the father (Hill, 2013, 471). The prominence of the father and son metaphor in the creeds is an appropriate introduction to the ways the New Testament speaks about God (Geis, 2013, 24-25). What it means to call God "Father" is disclosed within the concrete ways the metaphor is employed to speak of Jesus, "the Son." A full appreciation of the language requires not only attention to the particularities of the various New Testament writings (Geis, 26).

The two scriptures in the New Testament that help prove the existence of God as a Trinity of persons is 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 and 1 Peter 1:2. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 KJV. The first scripture states “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all”

This scripture assist in justifying the existence of God as a Trinity of persons because it reveals God’s divers and peculiar ways of his being. On the other hand, he still remains one God and the only God that exist and will ever exist. When we think of gifts what comes to mind is a dispensation that can only be given by the Holy Spirit. As Christians we obtain these spiritual gifts through supernatural grace and is given from a supernatural God so that each Christian is able to accomplish their God given mission. So, in connection of comprehending what gifts the scripture may be describing there is an understanding that through God being the trinity there is an awareness that although there are different parts that make up of God which is in relations with how the church contains different gifts that makes up a church which like God consist of
