The Trinity in Creation

THE TRINITY IN CREATION

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

-Romans 1:20

This Scripture tells us God reveals Himself through His creation. The invisible things of God are seen in the creation of the world.  The Scripture explains it is God’s eternal power that is shown forth in His creation, and that the Godhead is also revealed through His creation.  The Godhead is the term used to refer to the three persons within the one God.  The number three is prominent in all of nature.  God is revealing to man the invisible things of Him: THAT HE IS A TRIUNE GOD.

We will look at some examples from creation that reveal the three in one.

  1. Light is divided into three parts.

The Bible tells us that God is light.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

-Genesis 1:26

Notice the use of the plural pronouns us and our.  Us and our refer to more than one person. These words were not used by accident.  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God,” – II Tim. 3:16.  These pronouns refer to the three persons within the one God.  God created man in His own image.  Man is composed of body, soul, and spirit: three in one.  Man is made in the likeness of God.  The human body is composed of groups of three.  The creation reveals the Godhead.
