What is the Trinity and is it in the Bible?
We believe God is self-existent, and by nature He is eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere. God has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are in agreement and unified with each other's role in the Godhead. We believe these three are co-equal and are one God.

How does knowing who God really is affect how you live?
Do you have trouble explaining the Trinity to others? How do you go about explaining the Trinity to others?
In Acts 2: 1-41, We not only learn about the Holy Spirit, but about the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
‘God has raised life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of the God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear’
God is one, and yet God is also three. These three parts of the ONE GOD. , this Trinity is a deep mystery unbelievers have been considering for thousands of years. We cannot sum it all up in this little article. Above is an illustration that explains the dynamic of the Trinity, but all illustrations fall short of who God really is.
This diagram shows the three persons that make up God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There are separate and distinct from one another.. The Father is not the Son, The Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. This describes their distinctiveness. And yet all three are united in that they make up the ONE GOD. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit we are filled with GOD himself.
