Where does it say that God is triune?

Where does it say that God is triune? We are all taught that God is made up of three persons in one (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) but where does it say this in the Scriptures? We are not to simply believewhat our pastors teach us or what we read in books. We need to search it out for ourselves in the Scriptures. If you were asked where in the Scriptures it says this, would you be able to answer? We read on occasions where different persons are present atthe same time such as when the Father’s voice from heaven, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove, and Jesus himself were all present at Jesus’ baptism. We naturally see them as three separate persons independent from each other; however, they are in fact differentrevelations of a triune God. There is a Greek rule which says that when the word “the” (ho) is placed before two substantives and each is separated by the verb “is” (esti), it means that the two substantivesare absolutely equivalent in every aspect. In John 17:17 we see this pattern when it says “the Word IS the Truth”; therefore, “the Word” is absolutely identical to “the Truth” and are in fact one and the same. In 1 John5:6 we see the same pattern which says “the Spirit IS the Truth”. Again “the Spirit” is identical to “the Truth”. Putting the two verses together we see that: The Truth = The Word = The Spirit The next verse, 1 John 5:7 then tells us that the three witnesses in heaven are “the Father”, “the Word”, and “the Holy spirit” and that these three are One. Of these, which personis represented in each? We are told in John 1:1-5 that “The Word” was with God and the Word was God and the Word was the Light of men (Jesus Christ: John 8:12). The triune nature of God is therefore: The Truth = The Word = The Spirit (The Father) = (Jesus Christ) = (Holy Spirit) It is difficult for us to comprehend this as we see them as three distinct persons and yet that they are one and the same. Even the apostles had trouble understanding this conceptas Philip asked Christ to show them the Father and Jesus replied: "... Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us theFather? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."John 14:9-10 We may not understand this very difficult concept but know that when we accept Jesus Christ and are also “in Him”, as He is in the Father, and we are part of His Kingdom and assuch we must always present ourselves spotless and never intentionally disobey and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Always remember that we are commanded to study His Word (2 Tin 2:15). “The Pure Word” is an invaluable study tool which shows the original depth of meaning of each verseas written by the apostles and understood by the early Church.
