One God, Three in One: The Unshakable Foundation of Our Faith

In a world that shifts and shuffles its values daily, our anchor remains unchanged: we believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This isn’t just doctrine—it’s the very heartbeat of our faith, the lens through which we understand love, community, redemption, and purpose. This truth, revealed through Scripture and confirmed in the living witness of the Church, grounds us, guides us, and gives us unshakable hope in a fractured world.

Jesus Himself affirmed this triune identity in the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19). Notice that Jesus did not say “names,” but name—singular. One God. Three persons. Unified in essence, distinct in relationship. This is not a human invention. It is divine revelation.

God the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth, is not distant or disinterested. He is the origin of all things and the initiator of our salvation. From the very beginning, God has been pursuing humanity not with wrath, but with relentless grace. Galatians 4:4-6 reveals the stunning reality of His plan: “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son… and because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’” This is not theology to memorize—it is love to receive. The Father sent the Son. The Son accomplished salvation. The Spirit now lives in us, testifying that we belong to Him.

And this isn’t some abstract mystery meant to remain on the pages of ancient texts. It’s the active reality of every believer. Through Christ, we are no longer strangers or outcasts. As Ephesians 2:6 and 13-18 tells us, we’ve been raised with Him, brought near by His blood, and reconciled into one body. “For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.” This is communion. This is peace. This is the family of God.

So why does this matter today? Because in a time when so many are grasping for identity and significance, the triune nature of God speaks directly to our deepest needs. We were created for relationship—because God Himself is relationship. The Father loves the Son. The Son submits to the Father. The Spirit glorifies the Son. Each person of the Trinity serves and honors the others in perfect unity and love. And we are invited into this divine dance. Not as spectators, but as adopted sons and daughters (Gal. 4:6).

And if you ever doubt that this truth can change your life, read the testimony of John: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God… Whoever has the Son has life” (1 John 5:1-13). This is not theory—it is reality. Eternal life is not just a destination after death; it is a relationship with the God who is life.

So let the world mock. Let the skeptics roll their eyes. Let the tides of culture shift. Our confession will remain: we believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This belief isn’t a burden. It is our joy, our strength, and our unshakable foundation. The Trinity is not a problem to solve. It is a mystery to adore—and a love story we are all invited into.
