Question: What is the Trinity?
Answer: The Trinity is what Christians believe God is like. Even the best theologians can find is confusing, but essentially, it is the idea that there is One God who exists in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All 3 are equal with each other and have always existed. All 3 are divine in essence, but distinct in person.
God the Father is the Creator of the universe and His relationship with us is as a father to his children.
God the Son (Jesus) is the Saviour of mankind - He paid the price on the cross for the wrongs of humanity and gave them eternal life and freedom from sin and guilt.
God the Holy Spirit is present in every Christian - He helps us discern right from wrong and empowers us to live our lives as best we can.
