#### The New Testament Consistently Presents The Three
The Old Testament lays the groundwork for the Trinity ([[The Trinity Foreshadowed In The Old Testament]]) and has God portrayed with a plural nature ([[The Plurality Of God In The Old Testament]]). The New Testament shows us a more revealed doctrine and consistently presents a triad of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to be God. This triadic pattern is evident throughout various passages that explicitly reference the roles and interactions of God, Christ, and the Spirit. From [Matthew 28:19](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MAT.28.19)'s commission to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to[2 Corinthians 13:14](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/2CO.13.14)'s benediction invoking the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
These triadic references are not isolated occurrences but are woven throughout the New Testament ([Luke 4:1-12](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/LUK.4.1-12)), from the birth of Jesus, as seen in [Luke 1:35](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/LUK.1.35) and the baptism of Jesus in [Luke 3:21-22](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/LUK.3.21-22), to the empowering of believers through the Holy Spirit in[Acts 1:4-8](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.1.4-8) and[2:33](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.2.33), [2:38-39](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.2.38-39). The triad is consistently highlighted in teachings, miracles, and the work of salvation, reinforcing the biblical understanding of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as distinct persons within the Godhead ([John 4:10-25](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.4.10-25), [7:37-39](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.7.37-39), [7:14-16](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.7.14-16), [20:21-22](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.20.21-22); [Acts 1:4-8](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.1.4-8), [2:33](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.2.33) [2:38-39](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.2.38-39); [5:3-4](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.5.3-4), [5:9](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.5.9), [5:30-32](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.5.30-32); [7:55-56](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.7.55-56); [10:36-38](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.10.36-38), [44](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.44)-48; [11:15-18](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.11.15-18); [15:8-11](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.15.8-11);
[20:38](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.20.38); [28:25-31](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.28.25-31); ).

From the redemption accomplished through Christ in [Romans 5:5-10](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.5.5-10) to the indwelling of the Spirit in believers as described in [1 Corinthians 6:11](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1CO.6.11) and the unity of the Spirit in [Ephesians 4:4-6](https://www.bible.com/bible/59/EPH.4.4-6), the New Testament consistently presents a coherent and unified teaching on the triune God.
In conclusion, the New Testament's pervasive and consistent triadic pattern of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit serves as a strong affirmation of the doctrine of the Trinity. These passages collectively underscore the essential role of each person within the Godhead and provide a biblical foundation for the understanding of God as a triune being, thus validating the traditional Christian doctrine of the Trinity
