The Holy Trinity Explained
If God is God then how can he be the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?The Holy Trinity is a key foundation to Christianity, although, this is definitely one of the most confusing concepts of Christianity.
I am going to do my best over the next few paragraphs to explain this concept.
I am going to begin with an analogy to explain how all three is just one God.
Take the chemical compound H2O or water.
Below 32 degrees Fahrenheit it is frozen solid.
Above 212 degrees Fahrenheit it enters a gas state becoming water vapor.
Everywhere in between 32 and 212 degrees it is in the liquid form of water.
No matter what state it is in, the chemical compound is still H2O.
All three have specific and extremely beneficial purposes but still the same.
God is exactly the same.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are all still God.
Each form of God has a very specific purpose in building our relationship and all three are paramount in acquiring spiritual maturity.
God the Father is who we pray to and who created the universe and everything in it.
His role in our life is just like our earthly father's.
He sets the ground rules for how we are to live our lives.
Then there is God the Son or more commonly known as Jesus.
Jesus is the Son of God who came to this earth to show us how to live.
He lived a sinless life and was willing to die a terrible death because it was the will of God the Father.
Can you imagine the bragging rights He would have had?However, even being the Son of God, He still was a servant.
There is a story in the Bible about how Jesus washed the feet of His disciples.
Jesus wants us to serve others and love them as He did.
Finally, there is the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit serves as a guiding light that illuminates the path we are supposed to walk to get closer to God.
You are baptized with the Holy Spirit and it becomes your spiritual conscious.
Being filled with the spirit of God motivates you to want to read the Bible, pray and walk in the way of the Lord.
It is a lot like a muscle that needs developed within us.
The more we exercise or grow in faith the more we become filled with the spirit.
To tie it all together...
You are baptized into the Spirit of God and that Holy Spirit motivates and guides your actions and thoughts much like a conscious.
The Holy Spirit guides your walk in Christian maturity.
You are to follow the footsteps of Jesus and the Spirit drives you to do that.
Then finally, God the Father has created us, set the ground rules and is whom we build our relationship with.
