#11 - How do you explain the Trinity to an unbeliever?

Ask Your Evangelism Question Now!

SHOW NOTES:

It might be good to remember 2 key elements. 

–The truth never changes – The doctrine of the Trinity was forever settled before time and won’t be changed when time is no more. 

–The truth may need to be explained differently to an agnostic, than it does to a Muslim. Perspective changes everything. That means we have to ask questions and listen as much as we talk. 

• One God in 3 persons 

–God the Father 

–God the Son 

–God the Holy Spirit 

While I can understand the concept, I can’t imagine the reality.  

It is not illogical, it is just impossible! As Jesus said “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26

I’m okay with having a God that is bigger than I am. 

This is a faith thing. If anyone is going to have a relationship with God, they are going to have to choose Faith! 

• There are a lot of things that a person doesn’t have to know to be genuinely saved. 

But when it comes to Who Jesus is – You have to get that one right! 

A person doesn’t have to know about the trinity to be saved, but a person can’t disbelieve the Trinity and especially the deity and the humanity of Jesus and genuinely be saved. 

  • When we explain the Gospel it is not always necessary to bring this subject up. 
  • When it does come up, simply explain it from the Bible. 
  • Be careful with “easy” illustrations – they often lead to error.
