The word "trinity" is not in the Bible, but that is not the same as saying that the concept is not. God is three in one. He is the Father, who is God for us. He is the Son, who is God with us. He is the Holy Spirit, who is God in us. These ideas are so intertwined that they should not be ignored.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
