The Trinity in Scripture: Understanding God the Father’s Attributes

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals that God exists as One in Three Persons. The concept of the Trinity is illustrated through direct statements and typology in both the Old and New Testaments. Isaiah’s vision emphasizes this with the seraphim proclaiming “Holy, Holy, Holy” and referring to the Almighty, often recognized as the Father. New Testament references include the Great Commission and the baptism of Jesus. While the exact nature of the Trinity may be beyond comprehension, Scripture affirms the essential truth of God as the Blessed Trinity.

  1. God the Father – His Attributes

  2. TEXT: Genesis 1:26 From the outset, Scripture has taught that God is One, eternally existing in Three Persons. This is taught and illustrated in the Old and New Testament by direct statement and by typology. The Trinity is taught in:

  3. In Isaiah’s vision • Isaiah’s vision of the Holy of Holies (Is 6) • This could also be translated as the “holy place of the Holy Ones” (Ex 26:34) • The statement of the seraphim was “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Is 6:3) • This could be merely a superlative, but notice what the voice says, “Whom shall I send and who will go for us?” (Is 6:8)

  4. The being addressed is “the Lord of hosts”…usually acknowledged to be the Father, the Almighty. • But John 11:41 quotes this passage and refers it to Christ’s glory • And Paul says it was uttered by the Holy Spirit in Acts 28:25.

  5. II. In other Old Testament passages • Genesis 48:15-16 cites: • “The God before whom my fathers…walked” • “The God which fed me” • “The Angel who redeemed me” • 2 Samuel 23:2-3 cites three persons • Isaiah 48:16-17 also cites three person

  6. III. In the New Testament • In the Great Commission (Matt 28:19) but note that is in the “name” • In the baptism of Jesus (Matt 3:16-17) • In the attributes of God. For two examples (selected from many): • Infinite power (1 Pet 1:5; 2 Cor 12:9; Rom 15:19) • Truth (John 7:28; Rev 3:7; 1 John 5:6)

  7. Therefore: Though we may not be able to comprehend how the Trinity exists, the teaching of both Old and New Testament is clear, “God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity”
