By John Gill0GEN 1:1GEN 1:26ISA 6:8MAT 28:19JHN 1:1JHN 14:232CO 13:14EPH 1:31JN 5:7REV 1:4John Gill expounds on the doctrine of the Trinity, asserting that the Godhead consists of three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—while maintaining the unity of the divine essence. He provides scriptural evidence for this plurality, citing various passages that use plural terms and expressions when referring to God, such as 'Elohim' and 'us' in creation. Gill emphasizes that the Trinity is not merely a theological concept but is essential to understanding God's nature and His works in creation, providence, and grace. He argues that the distinct roles of each person in the Godhead are evident in the acts of salvation and the worship practices of believers. Ultimately, Gill concludes that the Trinity is foundational to the Christian faith and the experience of salvation.
