The Most Important Question Ever Asked
Part II

The previous lesson answered the question by showing from the Bible that Jesus is God. He claimed to be God on several occasions and He claimed to have authority on earth to forgive sins - in fact, He claimed to have all authority in heaven and on earth.

By answering the question about who Jesus is, we caused another question that deals with the Trinity. No finite human being can fully understand the Holy Trinity. But we know that almost all "false religions" and cults started with a misunderstanding of the true nature of God. Now we want to deal with Bible teaching about the Trinity. The word Trinity is not in the Bible, but the concept is taught there. The idea is three is one. There is one God who manifests Himself in three personalities.

Both of the following statements are true:

  1. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
  2. THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT PERSONS WHO ARE GOD
  3. THE TRINITY IS CLEARLY TAUGHT IN SCRIPTURE

No finite human being can fully understand the Trinity. It is a mystery. That means we can't figure it out on our own. God must reveal it to us; and he has in the Bible. Do you believe that Jesus is God? Have you accepted Him as your personal savior and Lord? Have you given Him authority over your life?
