Discipling 12
Lesson 3
Trinity
Concept:
The idea of the Trinity is a key concept for
Christianity. We know that our God is one God.
We do not have three different Gods—that would be
idol worship. However, we do have one God who has
chosen to manifest Himself three different ways. A
natural example of this concept is rain, steam and
ice. All three are water but in different forms. In
a greater way, we have the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. All three God but able to manifest in
three unique forms. As we study the Trinity, we will
discover how three can be one and all three have the
same nature, will, and purpose.

Summary:
As we have read these scriptures we can see three
moving as one. God always plans, Jesus always
carries out the plan, and the Holy Spirit always
reveals what has taken place. An example of this
is when God came as a man, the man Jesus Christ
(I Timothy 2:5). Jesus lived a sinless life by
the Power of the Spirit. Jesus was crucified
according to God’s plan and shed God’s own blood.
His blood was offered through the Eternal Spirit
to God, so God could pronounce all of us not guilty.
He gave Himself as a sacrifice to satisfy His
judgement and show His mercy. The Spirit of God is
making this a reality to all those who will allow
that revelation to explode in their heart. We then
can serve the Lord with our conscience free of dead
works and can set our hearts at rest in the presence
of a Living God.
Action:
Read the first 18 scriptures, then write down some
observations that the Holy Spirit made alive to you.
