Colossians 1:13 “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.”
The Trinity is not a theological puzzle. It is the most complete picture of how God loves us.
Think about the people who first received this letter from Paul in Colossae. They lived surrounded by gods of every kind. Gods who kept their distance. Gods who demanded to be appeased and feared. But Paul speaks of a completely different God — one who reached out first, pulling humanity out of darkness.
The word “delivered” carries the weight of someone physically pulling another out of danger. We did not negotiate our way out. We did not escape on our own. Someone came in for us first.
That someone — and the structure of how he came — is what we call the Trinity. (Bible Portal)
