GET INVOLVED
Three-in-One
Father, Son, Spirit, & us
SERIES OVERVIEW
God is described as three-in-one because he is God the Father, and God the Son, and also God the Holy Spirit. This is called the Trinity.
From a human point of view, it doesn't make any sense. But God transcends human viewpoints.
The world has lots of ideas and opinions about what God is like, who Jesus is, and what the Spirit does. Most of those ideas are wrong. Some are just plain silly. Others are outright dangerous.
The best and only place to learn the truth about God is the Bible. It may be an ancient book, but it has eternal truth and wisdom for modern people. And we desperately need truth and wisdom, both about the things we can see and the things we can't.
God is a mystery. But we can know him. God is supernatural. But we can experience him. God is infinite. But he meets with us here and now. God is God. But he loves us humans anyway.
God is our Father, Savior, and Lord. We are his children. Let's read God's Word to learn more about his true identity, his plans, our true identity as his children, and how all of these intersect. All lessons are linked below the BibleProject video "How God is Both One and Three at the Same Time" and the song "Three In One."
