The Mystery of the Trinity

 The Mystery of the Trinity                        


    by Danny C. Wash


“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our 
image, according to Our likeness.’” Genesis 
1:26. “Then the lord God said, ‘Behold the 
man has become like one of  Us, knowing 
good and evil...’” Genesis 3:22


O’ great mystery of the Trinity,

the mighty Godhead– Three in One

dwelling in an imponderable infinity

of pure light brighter than the sun

with no beginning no end– the Triune;

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit three,

distinct in essence but not separate

in their union together they agree,

so that the three always cooperate.

And they work together in unison.

The Father is the one who initiates,

the Son, Jesus Christ, communicates

to the Holy Spirit who then substantiates

the action required as God’s will.

So, when we use the word God,

we mean the Three, but One still.

We must think of God as One– 

The Father, the Spirit and the Son.

Much as we think of our body as one

but having many parts inside this one.

Romans 10:13 The Lord is very near, so we should have no fear. He loves and cares for us so we should in Him trust. He redeemed us from sin’s hold, so we are free and  can  be bold in Him to carry us to victory through our life’s many mysteries and to someday stand before His throne, without blame in His merit & name alone.

God’s Mystery                                                           by Danny C. Wash                                                  “ The mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to  His saints.” Colossians 1:26 What is God’s mystery?  A mystery is a secret, an unknown thing. Something that is not easily understood. But, God’s mystery has now been revealed to  anyone who will ask, seek, and knock, as Jesus  has said. God’s mystery is, Christ in you, the hope  of glory and you complete in Christ. This secret was  hidden from the past generations before the cross  and the victory of the resurrection. The demons did not know the secret, so they participated unknowingly  in the revealing of the secret by nailing Jesus to the  cross thinking they had the victory only to be defeated  on the third day in the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus became  the Messiah, the Savior, the Christ. And, then it was revealed  that by God’s act we were p

 An Email to a Friend About What Christians Believe                                                                                                                                                       David , I  enjoyed talking with you about Judaism and Christianity.  I could tell you have a real interest in spiritual matters.   When we were talking we didn’t have a chance to finish our discussion about the Christian concept of God being One God. First, let me say that the below is not to be taken as an argument against your beliefs, it is just a statement of what I believe most Christians believe.   As I said, Christians believe that God is One, in the sense that the Godhead is three in One- the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (what has been called “the Trinity”). The three are distinct personalities, but are not separate, in Christian thought. How that really works is one of the mysteries of our belief.  As you may know (and I don’t know your level of knowledge abo
