There are people—including some long-standing Christians—who regard the Trinity as a hierarchy, but that isn’t biblical. Scripture shows all three members of the Trinity are fully God:
- Father—There are many places in the Gospels where Jesus refers to God as His Father (Mark 14:36; John 5:17-18).
- Son—John 1:1 identifies Jesus as divine. And while Christ never specifically called Himself “God,” His Father did apply the title to Him (Hebrews 1:8). In addition, Jesus claimed oneness with the Father (John 10:30) and acknowledged having unlimited authority—an attribute of the divine Creator (Matt. 28:18). He also accepted worship (John 9:38).
- Holy Spirit—As with God the Father, Scripture presents the Holy Spirit as omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:11) and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7). The idea of the Spirit’s divinity was reinforced when Jesus commanded the disciples to baptize new believers in the name of all three members of the Godhead (Matt. 28:19).
The Bible confirms that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equally God. They function as a single unit—no one is more important or less essential than the others. All three are focused upon their plan for mankind: salvation, transformation, and glory for God.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 3-5
Thought for Today: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have unique roles while remaining one in essence and purpose.
