Importance of God as the trinity
God can help us in different ways. God the father can help us understand the power and creativity and his care for the world. The baptism shows the trinity being present. Trinity is part of Apostolic tradition, God is referred to as father son and Holy Spirit, and we must believe what the apostles said
Importance of God as the unity
The Bible only shows one God and as the Bible reveals God, he must therefore be a unity. In the creeds we say ‘I believe in one God’, as the creeds are statements of Christian belief, this means only one God must exist. Christians believe that God is omnipotent, if there were other Gods, they would have power over him making him less powerful.
