Have you ever been on a winning team? A team of students at school raising money, a team of coworkers trying to meet a sales goal, a community sports team—it’s fun to be on the winning side. A team has a common goal. While each person may fill a  different role, they all work together to accomplish the mission.

The triune God may be compared to a winning team. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit work together in ways that a human team would never be able to for a common goal. While each person of the Godhead has a distinct role in the plan of salvation, they unite in their mission. 

Paul writes to the church at Corinth: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14, NKJV).

Like a winning team, each person of the Godhead has a different role. They each have a special relationship to humanity. God the Father sustains and supports us. God the Son saves us from sin and shows us a better way to live. God the Holy Spirit guides us in the way of righteousness. All three work together for our salvation. In the doctrine of the Trinity, we see God’s love revealed.

The book of Jude mentions this teamwork. “Beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 20, 21, NKJV).

Like the ultimate winning team, the trinity works together for you. They will do everything possible to bring you to salvation. Like a teacher in school who gives her all to help her students succeed, the Trinity works together to make salvation understandable. They want you to experience salvation. 

Paul, the apostle, tells how the Trinity works together to bring us salvation. In the third chapter of his letter to Titus, he highlights their teamwork:

God the Father, in His mercy, has offered us a way to experience salvation. Paul says, “But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us” (Titus 3:4-5, NKJV).

God the Son was in agreement, so He gave His life so that we could choose salvation. 

“Whom He [God the Father] poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:6-7, NKJV). 

God the Holy Spirit, working to bring us salvation, offers to renew and remake us into the image of God. Paul continues: 

“Through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5, NKJV).

This is God’s goal. All three members of the Trinity are working together to make it possible for you to be an heir of eternal life. There truly is a “dream team” ready to sustain you, guide you, and redeem you.
