The document discusses the biblical basis for the Christian doctrine of the Trinity - that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who are coequal and coeternal. It provides scriptural support for each of the following points: 1) The Bible asserts there is one God. 2) The Father is identified as God. 3) The Son (Jesus Christ) is identified as God. 4) The Holy Spirit is identified as God. The document explores several Bible passages for each point to build the case that while God is one, He exists in three persons who share the same divine attributes and perfections.
