Trinity in the Bible


Christians define the Trinity as One God in three distinct Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most difficult ideas in Christianity. So, what does Trinity actually mean?

  • There is exactly one God
  • The Father is God
  • The Son is God
  • The Holy Spirit is God
  • The Father is not the Son
  • The Son is not the Holy Spirit
  • The Father is not the Holy Spirit

The table below lists a few Bible verses where the three distinct Persons appear together (underlined). Christians would cite this 'togetherness' as evidence for Trinity.
