What does the Bible say about the Trinity?

The Trinity is one of the great theological mysteries. There are some who think that because we believe in monotheism, one God, we cannot accept the concept of the Trinity. Yet the Bible teaches that the Godhead consists of three divine Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each fully God, each showing fully the divine nature (Luke 3:21, 22). The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Creator, the first cause. He is the primary thought, the concept of all that has been and will be created. Jesus said, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working" (John 5:17). The Son is the "Logos" or expression of God—the "only begotten" of the Father—and He Himself is God. Further, as God incarnate, He reveals the Father to us (John 14:9). The Son of God is both the agent of creation and mankind’s only Redeemer. The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, proceeds from the Father and is worshipped and glorified together with the Father
