The Doctrine of the Trinity

The Doctrine of the Trinity is the Christian belief that God is one being existing in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. These three are distinct yet united as one God, sharing the same divine essence. Think of it like one person with three roles or relationships—each person is fully God, co-equal and co-eternal, working together in perfect harmony. This doctrine helps explain how Christians understand God's nature: one divine reality expressed in three forever interconnected persons.
