God’s a Team

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit make up three distinct aspects of the God-head. Each of these persons form the trinity and contribute to the overall work of God. The trinity reveals God’s belief in teamwork. Even God brought a team together to accomplish His purposes.

The Bible gives us further insight into the distinct roles the Trinity plays.

The three Persons of the Godhead are never independent but always work together in concert. Scripture records the work of the divine trinity in creation (see Genesis 1:1-2, John 1:1-3 and Colossians 1:15-17). However, this perfect and harmonious interaction was especially evident in how God made it possible for people who were formerly alienated from him to be transformed into his beloved children.

The Father initiated our salvation (Chose us before the creation of the world and sent his Son into the world so that through him we could be adopted into his family.). The Son accomplished it (Christ’s blood sacrifice on our behalf paid the penalty for our sins so that we could enjoy forgiveness and lay hold of God’s purpose for our lives.) and the Holy Spirit made it real in our lives (The work of the Holy Spirit, seals and guarantees our spiritual inheritance.).

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit perform distinct roles, but they work together in perfect accord and agreement. This three-fold team of the trinity is committed to bringing us into full maturity in Jesus Christ.
