The Holy Spirit and the Anointing

How Does the Bible Show the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Together?

At Jesus' baptism, the Son is in the water, the Father speaks from heaven, and the Spirit descends. The New Testament places the three together in baptism, blessing, and prayer. Christians use the word Trinity to describe the one God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”

Matthew 28:19 · KJV

Start with the scene at the Jordan

Pay attention to who does what in Matthew 3. Jesus submits to baptism, the Spirit comes down, and the Father's voice identifies Jesus as His beloved Son. The scene gives us a concrete way to see the distinctions the New Testament continues to make.

How does the Trinity shape prayer?

Ephesians 2:18 says believers have access to the Father through Christ by one Spirit. The chapter is about former enemies becoming one household. The Spirit brings people together in the same access to God. That turns a doctrinal question into a practical one about who we welcome as family.

Put it into practice

Pray through the blessing in 2 Corinthians 13:14, giving thanks for Christ's grace, the Father's love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Does the Bible use the word Trinity?

The word Trinity is a later theological term. Matthew 28:19 names the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost together under one name.

Did the Spirit first appear at the Jordan?

No. Genesis 1:2 introduces the Spirit of God at creation. The Jordan reveals His relation to Jesus' public ministry.
