I Delve Into The Gospel Essentials

“In the God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) God existed before all of His creation, therefore He is the sovereign creator. He created all to be good in His perfect wisdom. Though God is invisible, He has several distinct characteristics; compassionate, faithful, infinite, just, wise and all-powerful.

Trinity is one God. Each of the persons of the trinity, Father, Son, and Spirit “is God whole and entire”. I believe that the trinity of persons consists of one substance and one essence. Each of the persons is that supreme reality, the divine substance, essence or nature. Each of the three persons are distinct from one another, but known to be related to one another.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16, ESV). This is probably one of the most recognizable Bible verses of all time because it encompasses the core beliefs of Christianity. The Christian worldview is a set of monotheistic beliefs and values that involve a personal and relatable God that relies heavily on faith in God and Jesus Christ. This paper will describe the essential elements of the Christian worldview: God, humanity, Jesus, restoration as well as evaluate some of the benefits, perplexities, and impacts of being a Christian and explain how I am able to live out my own personal Christian beliefs.

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Holy Trinity is defined as the mystery of one God in three persons. Although the Holy Trinity is at the base of the Catholic faith, the Catechism also states that the Holy Trinity is “inaccessible to the human mind” . The Catholic Church practices monotheism, the belief that there is only one supreme God. Within this Godhead, there is an undivided trinity of three divine persons.

A cornerstone teaching of many Christian beliefs is that of the Trinity. It is also a debated and misunderstood concept. Besides being just outright refuted, there are a couple of ways in which the Trinity is misunderstood. These misunderstandings can relate to other religions which a person may be more familiar with, or might believe. God as the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit is a difficult concept to embrace fully but is not much unlike the concept of understanding an omniscient and omnipotent being that exists before during and after time. There are several explanations that help our human brains comprehend the concept and differentiate the Trinity from other religions. Two common religions view the Trinity as three gods such as Paganism or is one God that reveals himself in three different forms or persons such as Monism.

Since development of the Church, Christians have had the belief of Monotheism and that there is One God. Christians also believe in the Holy Trinity, meaning God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all equal and all powerful. To a newly developing Christian, learning about Monotheism and the Trinity can be confusing and hard to understand.

The gospel is something that is so important to the Christian worldview. There are many things a Christian believes in and it is also confusing to others. Christian want to spread the word about Jesus and his teaching, so that others who have not heard the word can learn from it and seek forgiveness for sins and be saved through faith. In this paper it will discuss things important to the Christian worldview such God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration; as well as my own personal belief in the Christian worldview.

The Trinity is the Christian Godhead as one God in three persons. The three beings are God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. They are three beings in perfect relationship in one essence. Each member of the Godhead are equally important, but serve different positions in authority.

The idea of the Holy Trinity is made up of three beings- the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Allen puts it simply, that the Image of God exists in community, and we are social beings made in the image of God (111). We must think of God as three-in-one, the Trinity is important to our growing in faith. There are three persons in one God. The problem with many individuals is that often become confused with the interworking of the Holy Trinity. Someone who understands the Trinity should not see God as three separate individuals, but rather one God with three Persons who will serve for different roles. The three separate persons work in a way in which they interweave with

Our understanding of the trinity is that although there is only one God, yet, somehow, there are three Persons in God. The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God, yet we do not speak of three Gods, but only one God. They have the same nature, substance, and being.

Christianity. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him” Colossians 1:16 (King James Bible Online). Christianity is a monotheistic religion, meaning there is only one God. God is the creator of the universe, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, and all-good ("ReligionFacts," 2015). Christians believe that God is actually three persons: the Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, however the doctrine, called the trinity, argues that Jesus Christ wasn’t actually God ("ReligionFacts," 2015). It is the belief that God is only attainable by following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom was sent to earth to teach from God’s commands, therefore the way to God is through Jesus and his teachings, the Bible. The

The doctrine of the trinity is the essence and reality of God in his deepest inner life. The trinity is the highest thing that the human brain can contemplate. The doctrine of the trinity is one of the most mysterious theologies in the Christian faith and it is the heart and soul of its teachings. In the trinity there is one true God but three persons. The father, son, and holy spirit. There are misconceptions or heresies going against this belief that there is one God with three masks or modes in which god reveals himself. In the truth there is one God of the old testament that is in the fullest of reality.

The Trinity is a representation of the holy or godly figures in Christianity; “The Father”, Jesus “The Son”, and the Holy Spirit. (Christian Beliefs PowerPoint). Specifically, it states that “The Father”, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all God (Bart Ehrman on the Origins of the Trinity). Bart states in his YouTube video, Bart Ehrman on the Origins of the Trinity, that “God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all equal in power because they are all embodiments of God himself” but, he reiterates that, “there is still only one God.” This conundrum basically equates to a theorem stating that 1=1 and at the same time, 1=3. After coming to that conclusion, Bart Ehrman offers a ground for solace, stating “The Trinity is a mystery, a person cannot understand it, that is why it is a mystery.” (Bart Ehrman on the Origins of the Trinity)

Christians believe in the Trinity of God (the Trinity). However, according to R.C. Sproul, it is the source of controversy throughout church history (Sproul). There is no way to completely understand the Trinity. There is only one God in the Christianity (I Corinthians 8:4 NKJV). The Trinity is one God consists of three Persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. According to Answers in Genesis no one questions that the Father is described as God in the Bible (“Is the Trinity Three Different Gods?”). In John 10:30 Jesus identifies Himself as God when He says, “I and My Father are one.” The Holy Spirit is also recognized as God (Acts 5:3-4 NKJV). Each member of the Trinity has a different job. God the Father is the ultimate authority (I Corinthians 8:6 NKJV). God the Son is how God the Father provides a way of salvation for sinner (John 3:17 NKJV). And the Holy Spirit is how God is able to be with the believer and do His work through the believer’s life (John 14: 15-18 NKJV).

Trinity. It is a very simple word to say, only seven letters, and three syllables, but one of the most confusing, interesting, and controversial concepts in this world that we live in. How can something be three separate things, with three separate missions, helping us in three separate ways, all three being just as mysterious to us, but still be one thing? Christianity is monotheistic, therefore we only believe in on God, but this one God has three separate but equal parts to it? If we say that there is only the Father, God, we are wrong, because the Father has a Son, sends his one and only son to the earth and sends the Holy Spirit to us, but these three persons are the same? Does this mean that the Father God has himself, sends his one
