The Trinity and God the Father
“For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these
three are one” (1 John 5:7).

I. There Is Only One God
“Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6).
Isaiah 44:8; Psalms 9:2; 1 Timothy 1:17; Hebrews 11:6

A. One God composed of three parts or Persons
The trinity of the Godhead is sometimes a difficult concept. This is because each Person of the Godhead is dealt with specifically in the New Testament regarding His ministry and characteristics. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to see them as all parts of one individual God. But it is important to understand that there is only one God, and that all three parts are equally God. Each part of the Godhead is distinct, but not independent of the other two. They work together to form a unit.

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. . . . For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father”
(Ephesians 2:13, 18).

Matthew 28:19; John 1:1, 14
