The Relevance of the Trinity, A Biblical Analogy for the Trinity, and a Question About the Trinity

AN IDEA FROM ME

“Too many people think of God's triune nature as a hyper-unexplainable doctrine that causes more questions than it answers. However, the more you learn about it, the more problems it solves. In fact, the most essential questions of philosophy, society, and life are solved by God’s tri-unity.”

A QUOTE FROM SOMEBODY ELSE

“When we ask for analogies [for the Trinity] found in the Bible, we are seeking more specifically for analogies that would explicate some of the distinct roles of the distinct persons. Is there any such analogy?

“The most obvious such analogy is the analogy with a family. God the Father is like a human father; God the Son is like a human son…

“And as the labels ‘Father’ and ‘Son’ imply, the relation must be a relation of love. The Holy Spirit necessarily exists in the loving relation between the Father and the Son…

“The expression of the Trinity as lover, beloved, and love is one analogical expression, using the analogy with a family.”

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

How well do you understand the Triune nature of God? And how important do you think it is to understand it?
