The Trinity

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
 
Matthew 28:19-20
 
Jesus' words affirm the reality of the Trinity.  Some people accuse theologians of making up the concept of the Trinity and reading it into Scripture.  As we see here, the concept comes directly from Jesus himself.  He did not say baptize them into the names, but in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  The word Trinity does not occur in Scripture, but well describes the three-in-one nature of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Jesus was with the disciples physically until He ascended into heaven, and then again spiritually through the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit would be Jesus' presence that would never leave them.  Jesus continues to be with us today, through His Spirit.  God's Promise to never leave us, nor forsake us is kept to this day.  Taste and see that the Lord is good.
 
God Bless you,
