Meet the trinity
Introduction
Studying the Bible is like gazing at a beautiful tapestry with a dark back ground, splashed with vibrant colors and muted hues. In some parts it seems to have a pattern, but as you study it here and there, it seems to be without any unity at all. You keep coming back, trying to make some sense of it all. Then one day, you suddenly see what it is all about. There in the darkest part, you discover a tiny golden thread, woven carefully through the whole, binding it all together, and you see the big picture at last. It is a moment of awakening from the darkness of unknowing, to the light of understanding.
The golden thread in the Bible is the light of God’s unconditional love for his creation. God created the universe and the world we live in and saw that it was good. He created a perfect environment and a beautiful garden and gave it to the first man and woman. He walked with them and talked with them in the cool of the evening as a loving father guiding his children.
This book is about that unique love that only comes from God, the creator and sustainer of all life. It is not human love. We are not capable of such a love as his. He loved the whole world so much that he gave and gave and gave and keeps on giving, loving us in spite of ourselves, no matter what. He is the only God, ever worshiped by man, who came down to live among us, to show us how to have a personal relationship with him. He asks only one thing of us; to love. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul and all your strength, and your neighbor as yourself.” (Mk 12:30- 31)
In the Old Testament, he ruled from heaven and spoke to people through angels, visions, dreams and prophets, who were the preachers to God’s people and kings,
In the New Testament he sent Jesus to fix a fallen world by showing them the way back to God the Father, through his preaching, giving his life for us, and sending the Holy Spirit to take his place in the hearts of believers, leaving his disciples to carry on his mission.

About the Book
Then John (the Baptist) testified, “I saw the spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy spirit. I have seen and I testify that this is the son of God.’”
—John 1:32–34
This is an introduction to the Trinity presented individually although they are three in one. They are still actively at work in the world and in us. You will have your questions answered at last!
