What is the Trinity?

With this episode, I begin a series on what we call the Trinity. When you hear Christians talk about God, you’ll hear them use different names. For example, we might say simply God or the Father. There’s Jesus Christ and there’s the Holy Spirit. But those names are not just different names for one person. They are actually the names of three different persons. Here’s the part that's difficult to understand. God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit always existed, and they’ve existed as three distinct persons. But, there is only one God. That’s what we mean when we talk about the Trinity. One God, in three persons. We’ll talk about that more, over several podcasts.
