Mark 1:1-45

The existence of God as three in one is evident throughout all of scripture, but is seen clearly in Mark’s description of Jesus’ baptism. All three persons of the Trinity were present at the baptism: God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. All three persons of the Trinity are all fully God, yet they are three persons.

God Is Father – God Gives A Family

God is our heavenly Father. The Bible teaches that God is three in one. He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As Father, God rules over all things, is greater than all things, and loves sinful people by sending His one and only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross in our place. God becomes the Father of those who place their faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that God is the perfect Father who loving adopts us into His family through faith in His Son. Because God is Father we can become a part of a new family that will last forever.
