Meaning

Trinity

The Trinity affirms both God's oneness and the real distinction of persons within the Godhead. Though the term itself is later, the doctrine arises from the total witness of Scripture.

Why it matters

The Trinity shapes how Christians speak about God, worship Him, and understand salvation as the work of Father, Son, and Spirit.
