What? The Holy Trinity. The term doesn't come up a single time in the Bible, but it's still thoroughly biblical.

00:09

One God in three persons. Not three gods, one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All fully divine, uncaused, and eternal, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

00:19

Evidences of the Trinity are all throughout Scripture. In Matthew 3, after Jesus was baptized, the heavens opened up and the

00:25

Spirit descended on Him like a dove. Then a voice from heaven was heard saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom

00:30

I am well pleased. During the Last Supper, Jesus promised His disciples the Holy Spirit. Then He prayed,

00:36

Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. After His death and resurrection,

00:42

He commissioned His disciples to go and baptize, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

00:48

We read in John 1 and Colossians 1 that the Father and Son were present at creation, and in Genesis 1 -2 we see the

00:54

Spirit also. The Apostle Paul wrote that Christ and the Godhead are seen with Israel in the book of Numbers where we also see the power of the

01:02

Spirit. The triune God is indeed one of those divine mysteries, but how necessary is it to believe?

01:08

Well, to deny the Trinity is heresy. 1 John 2 -22 says, Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the

01:15

Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. And since 1

01:20

John 5 -6 says that the Spirit is the one who testifies about Christ, denying the Father and Son is also to reject the

01:27

Spirit. The person who denies the Trinity is a liar and an Antichrist when we understand the text.
