The Trinity

Christian beliefs concerning God

  • There is only one God
  • God is a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
  • God is perfect
  • God is omnipotent
  • God is everywhere
  • God knows everything
  • God created the universe
  • God keeps the universe going
  • God intervenes in the universe
  • God loves everyone unconditionally (though people have to comply with various conditions in order to achieve salvation)
  • Human beings can get to know God through prayer, worship, love, and mystical experiences
  • Human beings can get to know God through God's grace - that is through his love and his power

God the Son

  • God lived on earth as Jesus
  • Jesus was both wholly God and wholly human
  • Jesus was born to a human woman, Mary, but conceived of the Holy Spirit
  • Because Jesus was wholly human he was subject to pain, suffering, and sorrow like other human beings
  • Jesus was executed by crucifixion but rose from the dead at the Resurrection
  • Jesus's life provides a perfect example of how God wants people to live
  • Jesus died on the Cross so that those who believe in him will be forgiven all their sins

God the Holy Spirit

  • After the Resurrection, Jesus remained on earth for only a few days before going up into Heaven
  • Jesus promised that he would stay with his followers, so after he went to Heaven he sent his Spirit to guide them
  • The Holy Spirit continues to guide, comfort, and encourage Christians
