Understanding The Trinity

Did you know that The Lord himself is like the military?

In Genesis, the Bible says “Let US make man in OUR (plural) Image” (Genesis 1:26) God is ONE but has three distinct parts that makes up the whole. Just like the different branches of military service, God has different functions depending on the purpose:

Analogous To	Area of Action	Person of the Godhead	Scripture Reference
Air Force	Air	The Holy Spirit	Acts 2:2
Navy	Water	Jesus Christ	John 4:11
Army	Land	The Father	Genesis 1:7

As you can see from this analogy, understanding the “Trinity” is not so hard once you put it into context. Again like the cohesive military of a country, the personalities of God work together using the applicable personage to accomplish His will. Just as the Air Force would not put a plane in the sea or the Navy a Ship on the ground or the Army a tank in the sky, so God moves and acts appropriately. The scripture tell us “The LORD our God is One God” (Deuteronomy 6:4) and the GODHEAD acts and moves through power at different times in different ways as He sees fit.

In this life, we “see through a glass now darkly” and in our limited knowledge and mind cannot fully comprehend the vastness of God, but we can understand who he is and how he moves. God’s Ways are indeed above our ways, so let us always honour and praise him for his unfathomable majesty and power!
