The Lord God Jesus Christ

You’ve probably heard a lot about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit—maybe just enough to make you say, “Forget it! I can’t understand this stuff!”

But the basics about God are easy to understand. We humans are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–27). If we look at how we are made, and we realize that the Bible uses symbolic language, we can understand what God is like.

• “The Father” mentioned in the Bible is like our soul.
• “The Son” is like our body.
• “The Holy Spirit” is like everything we say and do.

Here’s another way of looking at it:

• At our core is love. That’s because God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). When the Bible mentions “the Father,” it is talking about God’s love.
• We express our love through intellect or wisdom. In the Bible, the light of God’s wisdom is called “the Son” (see John 1:1–14).
• We express our love and understanding through the things we say and do. In the Bible, God’s words and actions are called “the Holy Spirit.”

One human being is made of many different parts. In exactly the same way, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three different parts of one God.
