No Trinity, But Jesus Alone

---

In a world of complex doctrines and theological interpretations, one truth continues to shine with clarity and power: Jesus alone is God. For many, the concept of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three distinct persons—has been taught as a foundational truth of Christianity. However, there is a growing call back to the simplicity and power of the revelation that Jesus is not just the Son of God, but God Himself—fully and completely. This message is not new; it is ancient and apostolic. It is the core of the gospel preached by the early church: Jesus is Lord.

Let us take a fresh look at the Scriptures and open our hearts to what God is revealing in this hour—not to cause division, but to call the Church back to the fullness of truth.

1. The Simplicity of Christ

In 2 Corinthians 11:3, Paul warns the church about being led astray from “the simplicity that is in Christ.” The gospel is not complicated. Jesus did not come to introduce multiple beings or layers of divine hierarchy. He came to reveal Himself as God manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). The mystery of godliness is not three persons in one God, but God becoming a man to save humanity.

John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Then verse 14 reveals, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” That Word—God Himself—became Jesus Christ. Not another god. Not a second person. But the invisible God becoming visible in Jesus.

2. Jesus is the Fullness of God

Colossians 2:9 declares, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Jesus is not a part of God. He is not one-third of a divine team. All the fullness of God—everything that makes God who He is—dwells in Jesus. He is not a separate being from the Father or the Holy Spirit; He is the full manifestation of the one true God.

When Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus replied in John 14:9, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” Jesus didn’t say He was like the Father. He didn’t say He was the second in command. He said plainly: If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen God.

3. The Name Above Every Name

There is no name greater than Jesus. Philippians 2:9–11 says that God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name that is above every name. It is at the name of Jesus that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Isaiah 9:6 prophesied of Jesus, saying, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given… and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Did you notice that? Mighty God and Everlasting Father—these are titles given to Jesus!

He is not merely the Son who points to the Father. He is the Everlasting Father Himself, wrapped in flesh for the purpose of redemption.

4. The Holy Spirit Is Jesus in Us

Some ask, “If Jesus is the Father, what about the Holy Spirit?” The Holy Spirit is not a separate person from Jesus. The Spirit is the presence of Jesus in the lives of believers. Romans 8:9 makes this clear: “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you… Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.”

Here, Paul uses the terms Spirit of God and Spirit of Christ interchangeably. Why? Because they are the same. Jesus said, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” (John 14:18). He didn’t say He’d send another person to comfort them. He said He Himself would come—in Spirit form.

When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive Jesus Himself living in us (Galatians 2:20). Not a third person, but the risen Jesus living in and through His people.

5. One Throne, One God, One Name

Revelation 4 and 5 show us a heavenly scene of worship around the throne of God. But in Revelation 22:3–4, we read, “The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.” Not their faces. Not their names. His face. His name. One throne. One God. One name: Jesus.

There is not a trinity of thrones in heaven. There is one throne—and Jesus sits on it. He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End (Revelation 22:13). These are not titles shared among three beings. These are the eternal titles of the One who was, and is, and is to come—the Almighty.

6. Why This Matters

You may ask, “Does it really matter whether we believe in a Trinity or in Jesus alone?” Yes—it matters deeply. Why?

• Because truth matters. Jesus said we must worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
• Because the name matters. If we baptize or pray in the name of a concept instead of a Person, we miss the power of the name that saves.
• Because clarity matters. Many believers are confused by the idea of three persons in one God. The truth of Jesus alone restores clarity, intimacy, and power.

The apostles never preached a trinity. They preached Jesus. In Acts 2:38, Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…” That name was central to everything they did (Acts 4:12). It must be central again today.

7. A Call to Return

Beloved, this message is not meant to attack or divide but to call the Church back to the simplicity of Christ. The early Church turned the world upside down not because they had complex creeds, but because they had a clear revelation of who Jesus is.

Let us return to the apostolic truth:

There is no Trinity. There is Jesus alone.
He is the Father in creation,
The Son in redemption,
And the Holy Spirit in regeneration.
One God, One Name, One Lord—JESUS.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, open our eyes to Your identity. Strip away every tradition, every false teaching, every confusion. Let us see You for who You really are—the One true God revealed in flesh. Fill us with boldness to preach Your name, and let every heart be drawn to the truth of who You are. We worship You not as one of three, but as the One and Only. In Your mighty name, Jesus, Amen.
