Topical Encyclopedia The doctrine of the Trinity is a central tenet of Christian theology, affirming the existence of one God in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each Person of the Trinity is fully and equally God, sharing the same divine essence, yet each is distinct in personhood and role. A key aspect of this doctrine is the holiness attributed to each Person of the Trinity, as revealed in Scripture.God the Father: Holy The holiness of God the Father is a foundational concept in the Bible, emphasizing His purity, righteousness, and separateness from sin. In Isaiah 6:3, the seraphim proclaim, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory." This thrice-repeated declaration underscores the supreme holiness of God, a characteristic that defines His nature and actions. The Father’s holiness is further highlighted in Leviticus 19:2, where He commands His people, "Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy." God the Son: Holy Jesus Christ, the Son, is also described as holy in Scripture, affirming His divine nature and sinless life. In Luke 1:35, the angel Gabriel announces to Mary, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God." This title, "the Holy One," signifies Jesus' unique status as both fully God and fully man, set apart for the redemptive mission. Additionally, in Acts 3:14, Peter refers to Jesus as "the Holy and Righteous One," further attesting to His holiness and divine identity. God the Holy Spirit: Holy The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is inherently holy, as His very name suggests. The Spirit's role in sanctification and empowerment of believers is a testament to His holy nature. In John 14:26, Jesus refers to Him as "the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you." The Spirit's work in the life of the believer is to produce holiness, as seen in Galatians 5:22-23, where the fruit of the Spirit is described, reflecting the holy character of God. Interrelationship of Holiness in the Trinity The holiness of each Person of the Trinity is not an isolated attribute but is interwoven with the divine essence shared among the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This shared holiness is a reflection of their unity and co-equality. In 1 Peter 1:15-16, believers are called to emulate this divine holiness: "But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'" This call to holiness is rooted in the nature of God Himself, as revealed in the triune relationship. The doctrine of the Trinity, with each Person described as holy, underscores the profound mystery and majesty of the Christian God, who is both transcendent and immanent, inviting believers into a relationship marked by holiness and love.
