#30: How to Explain the Trinity to a Child

How to Explain the Trinity to a Child How do you explain the Trinity to a child? For that matter, how do you explain the Trinity to anyone? The first thing you need to know is that the Bible never uses the word “Trinity.” The word Trinity captures the various ways the Bible talks about the nature of God. Also, the Trinity is one of the essential and foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. You can’t have Christianity without it. I want to share a clear and memorable way to understand what the Bible teaches about the Trinity. I first came across this illustration from Norm Geisler. There is one what and three who’s. There is one God and three persons. The what refers to nature of God that all three persons share. The belief that there is only one God is clearly taught in Scripture. For example, “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! – Deuteronomy 6:4 That there are three persons is also clearly taught in Scripture. We see all three persons described and at work in various passages, including 2 Cor. 13:14: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Each is a distinct person. Three who’s. These are just two of many verses we could share. If the Bible claimed there was one God and three Gods, that would be a logical contradiction (and obviously false)....

As a parent, pastor, educator or youth pastor you need to know that training in worldview, apologetics, and theology is good for the heart and soul of the next generation. [shareable]We don’t have to choose between reason and relationships.[/shareable] [featured-image single_newwindow="false"] I believe in the next generation. I love getting to spend time with them talking about the big questions of life and the everyday stuff of life. Gen Z has amazing potential and I think God will use them greatly. (Here's my interview with David Kinnaman of the Barna Group and Catalyst podcast on Gen Z) But they must be trained. Worldview training is not optional for today’s teenagers Here’s the bottom line—it’s exhausting to live a compartmentalized faith. Yet, many Christian teenagers are trying to do this impossible task every day. And it’s taking a toll on their soul and faith. The cultural messages are strong, and the challenges are unrelenting. Students are being shaped more by YouTube and Netflix than by what they are hearing on a typical Sunday morning. There’s a disconnect. Faith and feeling goes in one category of life on Sunday; reason and thinking goes in another category the rest of the week. That kind of faith will not survive....
