Biblical Teaching About the Trinity

OLD TESTAMENT NEW TESTAMENT TEACHING The Bible teaches that The creed of Israel, the Shema (Deut. 6:4), emphasizes the uniqueness of God: "Hear, The early apostles of the Lord believed in only one God (cf. 1 Cor. 8:4-6; 1 Tim. 1:17, 2:5-6; there is only one God. O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one" (cf. Ex. 20:2-3, 3:13-15 James 2:19 The Bible speaks of God as three distinct persons God the Father is distinguished from the Son in Ps. 2:7 (cf. also Ps. 68:18, Is. 9:6, 61:13; Heb. 1:1-13), and the Holy Spirit is set forth as distinct from them both. The Father is seen to be God in Is. 63:16, the Son in Is. 9:6, and the Spirit in Gen. 1:1-2 (cf. Ex. 31:3; Judg. 15:14; Is. 11:2). The New Testament sets forth in clear terms that the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is God (John 1:18; 1 Cor. 8:6; Phil. 2:11; 1 Pet. 1:2). No one disputes this truth. The New Testament authors at numerous places present Jesus Christ as God Himself, yet distinct from God the Father (John 1:1,18, 8:58; Rom. 9:5; Titus 2:13; 2 Pet. 1:1). Moreover, the Holy Spirit is called God by Peter (Acts 5:4), yet He is introduced at the baptism of Jesus as different from Jesus, and as distinct from the Father and Son in the apostolic benedictions. The Father possesses divine characteristics (John 7:28; Rom. 2:4; 1 Pet. 1:5; Rev. 15:4). The Son is presented as having the nature of God (Matt. 18:20; John 1:2; 2 Cor. 12:9; Rev. 3:7), and the Spirit of God is presented similarly ( Acts. 1:8; Rom. 15:19; 1 Cor. 2:11; 1 John 5:6). Whereas the Father and Spirit are more clearly identified in the Old Testament, the New Testament stongly presents Jesus as the Creator God (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:6).

The Bible teaches that The Father possesses the divine attributes (cf. Ps. 90:2; Jer. 17:10, 23:24). The Son three distinct persons has the attributes of deity (cf. Is. 9:6-7; Dan. 7:13-14). The Holy Spirit possesses the have the attributes of divine attributes (Gen. 1:2; Neh. 9:20; Ps. 139:7). God The Bible teaches that three distinct persons perform the works of God The Father is presented in the Old Testament as the Creator (Ps. 102:25), and the other members of the Godhead are as well. Gen. 2:7 uses the plural to identify more than one person to the being of God. If we understand Jesus, the Logos, as the Wisdom of God by which He made the world, then the Son is intimated in the Old Testament as Creator too. The Spirit of God is the creative force brooding over the waters in Gen. 1:2 (cf. Job. 26:13).

CATEGORY PRIMARY DEFINITION MAJOR OLD TESTAMENT VERSES Faithfulness part of God's character (Is. 49:7); great (Lam. 3:23); established (Ps. 89:2); incomparable (Ps. 89:8); unfailing (Ps. 89:33); infinite (Ps. 36:5); everlasting (Ps. 119:90). MAJOR NEW TESTAMENT VERSES Faithfulness part of God's character (1 Cor. 1:9; 1 Thess. 5:24); unfailing (2 Tim. 2:13); in fulfilling His promises (Heb. 10:23); in forgiving sins (1 John 1:9); to His saints (2 Thess. 3:3); to be depended on (1 Pet. 4:19); a characteristic of saints (Eph. 1:1; Col. 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:12; Rev. 17:14). God's love a part of His character (2 Cor. 13:11; 1 John 4:8); Christ, the special object of (John 15:9; 17:26); Christ abides in (John 15:10); God's love manifested toward: perishing sinners (John 3:16; Titus 3:4); His saints (John 16:27; 17:23; 2 Thess. 2:16); shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 5:5); saints know and believe (1 John 4:16); saints should abide in (Jude 21). God's justice without respect of persons (Rom. 2:11; Col. 3:25; 1 Pet. 1:17); exhibited in: forgiving sins (1 John 1:9); redemption (Rom. 3:26). FAITHFULNESS Fatihfulness describes the dependability,loyalty, and stability of God,particularly in relation to His people. God's faithfulness in keeping His word is a consistent theme in the Bible. Faithfulness is also something that God's people are to demonstrate in their relationship with Him. LOVE Love is both an attribute of God and an essential part of His nature. Lovingkindness is another term used throughout the Old Testament to refer to the loyal esteem and favour God has toward His covenant people. In the New Testament the two main terms used for love refer to the positive regard God has for His Son and His people,and to the affection of brothers and friends toward each other.

God's love described as and seen in being: sovereign (Deut. 7:8, 10:15); assuring (Zeph. 3:17); unfailing (Is. 49:15-16); everlasting (Jer. 31:3); irrespective of merit (Deut. 7:7; Job 7:17); by election (Mal. 1:2-3); by redemption (Is. 43:3-4, 63:9); by forgiving sin (Is. 38:17); by drawing us to Himself (Hos. 11:4); by temporal blessings (Deut. 7:13). Justice a part of God's character (Deut. 32:4; Is. 45:21); concerning His justice God is plenteous (Job 37:23); incorruptible (Deut. 10:17; 2 Chr. 19:7); impartial (Jer. 32:19); unfailing (Zeph. 3:5); undeviating (Job 8:3). Judgment comes from God (Deut. 32:39; Job 12:23; Amos 3:6; Mic. 6:9); God judges by: blotting out one's name (Deut. 29:20); abandonment (Hos. 4:17); cursing men's blessings (Mal. 2:2); pestilence (Deut. 28:21-22; Amos 4:10). God's mercy described as great (Is. 54:7); sure (Is. 55:3); tender (Ps. 25:6); new every morning (Lam. 3:22-23); seen especially in forgiveness (Ps. 51:1); believers are to cast themselves on God's mercy (2 Sam. 24:14).

JUSTICE

When the Bible refers to the justice of God it means that God is honorable in His treatment of people. All of His decisions are righteous and true. God requires that His people also deal justly in all the situations of life (Mic. 6:8). God's actions in the Bible give us the pattern by which we can make right decisions. God is the Judge of all the universe. He judges according to His standard of Law as revealed in the Bible. Judgment can refer either to the process of determining guilt or innocence or to the punishment given out to those who fall under God's wrath.

JUDGMENT

All judgment is in the hands of Jesus Christ (John 5:22); He has this authority because He is the Son of Man (John 5:27). Believers are not to stand in the place of Christ as Judge because we all will stand before Christ's judgment seat (Rom. 14:10). God's mercy seen in Christ's mission (Luke 1:72,78); salvation (1 Cor. 7:25; Titus 3:5); regeneration (1 Pet. 1:3); practiced as a gift (Rom. 12:8); shown in God's providences (Phil. 2:27); obtained through prayer (Heb. 4:16); believers are enjoined to "put on mercy" (Col. 3:12). Jesus Christ is the Truth (John 7:18, 14:6); He was full of truth (John 1:14); He spoke truth (John 8:45); the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17) who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). We are to bear fruit unto holiness (Rom. 6:22); we are chastened by God so we may partake of His holiness (Heb. 12:10); called by God to a holy life (1 Thess. 4:7). The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world and then the end shall come (Matt. 24:14); the church is commanded to teach the truth of Christ to all the world (Matt. 28:19); people come faith by hearing the Word preached (Rom. 10:14).

MERCY

Mercy is seen in God's compassion toward the suffering and in His willingness to restore those whose own sins have separated them from Him. God sovereignly determines to extend mercy by withholding punishment from sinners and restoring them to fellowship with Himself. God also exhibits His mercy through acts of His providence, such as healing and rescue from danger. God expects us to show mercy to others as well. The biblical concept regarding truth is not conformity to an external standard but faithfulness and reliability. Concerning God, of course, faithfulness or reliability is not measured by any external standard; the standard is God Himself. God is holy, separate from His creation by His very nature. To be holy literally means to be cut off or separate, and denotes apartness, the separation of a person or thing from the common or profane to a divine use. God uses His people to proclaim His Word to those outside His covenant. By this proclamation those He has elected unto salvation come to faith in Him. Israel was to proclaim His goodness and today the church is commanded to go into all the world and proclaim the good news of salvation in Christ.

TRUTH

God is a God of truth (Deut. 32:4; Ps. 31:5); His Word is truth (Ps. 119:160; Dan. 10:21); He regards truthful people with favour (Jer. 5:3); the judgments of God are according to His truth (Ps. 96:13). The character of God is the standard (Lev. 19:2); is incomparable (Ex. 15:11; 1 Sam. 2:2); commanded (Lev. 11:45, 19:2, 20:7); necessary to worship of God (Ps. 24:3-4); we are to avoid everything inconsistent with it. The king of Assyria allowed a Jewish priest to teach the way of God (2 Kin. 17:27-28); Israel was commanded to proclaim the day of His salvation to all the earth (1 Chr. 16:23-24); the prophet Jonah was commanded to proclaim God's message to Nineveh (Jon. 3:1-2).
