I asked Yahweh, “who are You? The Father, the Son? People say so many different things.” I drew some Borromean rings (see below) since that’s a shape that God has used to illustrate the Trinity to me before and asked Him, “where are You in this?”
His answer to me was that He– Yahweh– is everything within the dark Blue outline. He is the Father, He is the Son, He is the Holy Spirit. He is One and He is Three.
I started digging into scripture to learn more about Yahweh and once you read a version of the Bible that uses YHWH or some form of The Name instead of “Lord” in the Old Testament, the various aspects of the divine nature begin to stand out more clearly. It’s all over the Psalms, for example. I’ve provided a sampling of verses for your perusal below.
Why does this matter?
Simply put, God yearns– deeply– to be known by His children. He wants to reveal Himself! Please don’t take my word for it, though: ask Him yourself and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth as you pursue Him in His presence and His word.
Verses + Additional Resources:
