Trinity—Creation

~ All Three Members of The Trinity Were Involved in Creation ~

Introduction  ~  God is unique in that He is simultaneously One God yet three distinct persons—each with a distinct personality.  Some say the word Trinity is not in the Bible.  They are right!  But the concept of the Trinity is clearly throughout the Scriptures and interestingly there are three passages where all three are mentioned.

Creation—The Trinity (implied)  ~  We find the Trinity in the first verse of our Bible. 

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).  The word translated “God” in our English Bibles is a plural word in the original language! 

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth’” (Genesis 1:26).

Creation—The Father  ~  “By the word of the Lord [Yahweh or Jehovah] the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.  He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.  Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.  For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:6-9). 

Creation—The Spirit  ~  “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:1-2). 

Creation—The Son  ~  “In the beginning was the Word [Jesus Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:1-3).

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:15-17). 

Conclusion  ~  We serve a creative Triune God and all three members of the Trinity were involved in Creation.
