The Trinity
The Godhead eternally exists in three distinct Persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16, 17;) and these three are one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:6; Mark 12:29; Acts 5:3-4), having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfection, and worthy of the same confidence and obedience (Matthew 28:18,19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

God the Father
God the Father is considered the First Person of the Trinity. He has no greater function than the Other Members of the Trinity. He has different functions. God the Father was there in the process of creation (Genesis 1; 1:26). Jesus makes many references to His, or our, Father in Heaven (Matthew 5-7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28; Mark 8, 11, 13, 14; Luke 2, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24; John 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20). God speaks from Heaven referring to Jesus as His son in whom He is well pleased (Matthew 3:13-17; Luke 3:21-22).

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity, is God’s only begotten Son (John 3:16; Colossians 1:15). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:14). He is fully God (John 1:1-3, 14; Colossians 1:15-16) and fully Man! He lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), which allowed Him to serve as the Only Sacrifice worthy of meeting the Holy Standards of a Just and Righteous God (Hebrews 9:13-26). Jesus willfully died on the Cross as the substitute for those incapable of paying the penalty for their sins (Matthew 27:50; John 19:30; Romans 5:8). He arose bodily from the dead (Matthew 28:2-6; John 20:20). He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9 ) to return at the God-ordained time.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity (Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19). He is active in the regeneration of the believer (John 14:16, 26; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 3:5) which is also referred to the process of sanctification. He indwells every believer (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Galatians 5:16, 18; Ephesians 1:13) conforming and transforming them into the image of Christ.
