Though the Bible does not actually state the word �Trinity�, there are many passages that represent God in the plural (�Elohim� is one example). In the eternal unity of the Godhead, there are three coequal Persons: The Father is God (John 6:27; Eph. 4:6), Jesus Christ is God (Heb 1:8), and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4). Jesus stated in John 10:30, �I and the Father are one.�

How does one depict the awesome concept of a Triune God? There are many different analogies out there. One of my favorites was the one someone told me when I was a child that seemed to mirror the Bible�s description (Father - God, Son - Jesus, and Friend - the Holy Spirit)� The Trinity could be viewed much like one man with three roles/titles: A father, a son, and a friend. Another wonderful analogy that depicts the Trinity is of water in its three forms: liquid, steam, and frozen/ice.

Not long ago, the image of a radio popped into my mind where I observed another analogy regarding the concept of the Trinity: God the Father would be the power source, Jesus Christ - the receiver, and the Holy Spirit - the frequency. One radio with three interrelated functions.

Analogies like these are merely simple ways to better understand the deep mysteries of the Almighty.
