Colossians 2:2-3 says there are great treasures of wisdom and knowledge HIDDEN IN CHRIST. How to Explain the Trinity is a nugget of that treasured knowledge revealed at its proper time that demonstrates from the scriptures how God can be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but yet is just one God. Indeed, God's divine nature can be CLEARLY SEEN and UNDERSTOOD, and the revealed Biblical analogy is confirmed by the scientific law of cause and effect. Then you will learn how to explain the Trinity to your child using a puppet stage.

In writing this book, I was mindful of the many areas of conflict that exist between Christian and Christian, Christian and Jew, Christian and Jehovah Witness, Members of The Church of Latter Day Saints and others. The purpose was to examine critically, some of the main areas of conflict, and measure them against what the bible has to say concerning the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and to arrive at a reasonable, honest and dispassionate conclusion. One very clear and positive way was to show that Jesus, that great and unusual man of history, was indeed a man from heaven and is in fact God incarnate. Even those who have not accepted Jesus as God or equal with God, must admit that he was like no other. He was born in a lowly stable and died a convicted felon. Yet the world in short order turned to him. Even the mighty Roman Empire which initially haunted and crucified, hanged and hounded Christians, eventually turned to Him and acknowledged Him. The evidence, then, is that Jesus is someone special. The Jewish ruler Nichodemus acknowledged he was from God. It follows, therefore, that if Jesus was from God, then it is reasonable to accept that he was a person of truth and integrity. Yet Jesus said he was God. God seems to have been well pleased with Jesus. Is it not reasonable, therefore, to accept Jesus at His word? Commonsense and logic answers a resounding Yes!

Believing in one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity is an essential of the Christian faith. God is not unipersonal, but is multi-personal, and God does not exist in three separate beings, but three divine and distinct persons. The one true God of the Bible exists in three consubstantial persons, with absolute unity of essence. Both the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT) have fully revealed that all three persons in the Godhead--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit--are inseparable from the divine being and are permanently existing in one another. Professing Christians who do not know the Trinity don't know God or His gospel! Those who reject the Trinity by either dividing the substance or confounding the persons are guilty of heresy--since God exists in a Trinity of persons and the Trinity is grounded in the gospel--whereby God chose the elect, the Son redeemed the elect, and the Spirit seals the elect. Thus, learning the doctrine of the Trinity is an indispensable responsibility for every Christian. Shockingly, but not surprisingly, there are many professing believers who have never heard a full sermon or a lecture on the Tri-Personality of God. This is due to the fact that many of their pastors are either unlettered or ill-advised about the Trinity. So when many church members hear their pastors reference the Trinity in one of their sermons, it will typically be shallow, inept, or benighted. The implications are devastating: an ignorant pastor will always produce ignorant church members. But if professing Christians and their pastors remain ignorant about what God is and who He is, they will be unequipped and will have no ability to defend the multi-personality of God, the deity of Christ, or the gospel when confronted by Unitarians. The Glorious Triunity of God is not an exhaustive research book, but is a family worship and Bible study guide on the doctrine of the Trinity. This book was written for Christians to utilize as another family worship resource. This is important for two reasons: (1) the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, (2) and all three persons in the Godhead are to be equally worshiped and served. The Glorious Triunity of God was also written for pastors and Bible study groups in local churches, and for professing Christians to study with their families and friends so they can rightly divide the Word and to ensure that the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is worshiped. Amen.
