The concept of the Trinity, where there is one eternal God existing as three equal persons - Father, Son, and Spirit, is central to Christianity. This article explores key biblical references emphasizing the belief in one God, while also acknowledging the multiple persons termed as God in scripture.

2 Corinthians 6:18 And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.
God is LOVE 1 John 4:7-8,16 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
God is LOVE John 17:24 Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
God is LOVE John 17:1,4 Jesus said, Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
God is LOVE More foundational than holiness, sovereignty, or wrath
God is LOVE Answers the most fundamental question of all Why do I exist?
God is LOVE John 17:22 23 The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me
God is LOVE Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren
God is LOVE Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God is LOVE John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name
A.W. Tozer What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us
C.S. Lewis I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important
C.S. Lewis to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.
