Although the word trinity is not found in the Bible, it expresses the portrait of God that emerges from the life and ministry of Jesus in a powerful way. As God’s only Son Jesus revealed the nature of the one he called “Father” to be that of infinite love. And the closing chapters of the Gospel of John (probably the last book in the New Testament to be written) bring the essential theme of the New Testament—that God was in Christ—to a remarkable conclusion. During these “farewell discourses” with his disciples (John 15-17), Jesus provided an account of his own relation to the Father and the relation of Father and Son to the community of Jesus’ followers. Here we find that the goal of Jesus’ mission, and the fulfillment of the plan of salvation, is intimate fellowship with the Father and Son, and with one another, through the life-giving work of the Spirit.
The conviction that the founding events of the church, the missions of the Son and the Spirit, are manifestations of God’s own life leads to significant insights into the nature of the church
