The Trinity means God in three persons. They are separate and yet one God. And that is what we mortals call a paradox, something that should not or cannot be (according to our reason) and yet is still true. So we accept what God’s Word (the Bible) tells us as absolutely true. We have God the Father (to Whom we most appropriately pray often), God the Son (Who saved us by His death at Calvary), and God the Holy Spirit (Who wrote the Bible). These are three individuals, yet one God.

We know from Scripture that God is three persons. In Genesis 1:26, we find that God said, “Let usmake man in ourimage…” God never said, “Let Me make man in My image.” So we see that God is three individuals, yet one God. And each individual has all the wisdom and attributes of each other, although each has different tasks in the universe. For example, Jesus created everything in the universe and the Holy Spirit dictated the truths recorded by men in Scripture. God the Father created man and the angels and begot His Son Jesus.

Christians accept the above statements as true, though not one of us understands how it can be. God did not see fit to give us adequate intelligence to understand all of His works. But we go back to His advice in Proverbs 3:5, which says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Why did God tell us this? He knew we would try to understand all things and not be able to. But trust in God is far superior to understanding anything. However, man, especially intellectual man, has a strong tendency to believe he is capable of understanding all things with enough information.

That is what trips up so many intelligent people, especially liberal college professors. And unfortunately they teach their atheism and secular views to our young people. That creates a vicious cycle of unbelief. And it sends millions of people to hell.

We need to trust God as little children trust their parents, because God is our Heavenly Father when we trust our souls to Christ. Jesus said that only those with childlike faith would ever see heaven (Luke 18:17). But pride gets in the way of so many people. And pride, especially the type that looks down on others, is a great sin that God hates.

Many intelligent people have so much pride in their own intellect that they can hardly ever be reached by the Holy Spirit. We mourn over these millions of lost souls because we believe in a literal hell. We also believe what our Lord told us about our resurrection into physical bodies. The unbelievers will also rise on Judgment Day and assume physical bodies. It will be so sad indeed when they stand before Christ only to be sent away into the Lake of Fire. They will hear the Lord say to them, “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”
