The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain. God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him. The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God.

A Brief Overview of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity teaches that there is one God. This one God reveals himself in three persons. We identify them as God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. This makes up what is known as the Godhead.
In the formula of the Trinity, the church bows to sacred Scripture, honoring both the unity of God and the distinctions among the persons of the Godhead. The formula made use of terms such as person, subsistence, hypostasis, in an attempt to get at the unity and the distinction within God Himself.
The Trinity is a name that we give to God, meaning tri (three) + unity (one), because of the Bible’s revelation that God is one being, but three persons. The Triune nature of God is a bedrock truth of the Bible, and what sets the God of the Bible apart from any other god.
