Which verse expresses the idea that the Godhead consists of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

• A. John 14:6
• B. Deuteronomy 6:4
• C. Matthew 28:19
• D. 1 John 5:7

Answer: (B)

The key idea being tested is that the Godhead comprises three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—yet one divine being. The verse that most clearly expresses this is the baptismal command that instructs believers to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. This phrasing links the three distinct persons together under a single divine authority, signaling both their personal distinction and their unity of essence.

By contrast, the verse that says the Lord our God is one Lord emphasizes the oneness of God, focusing on unity of essence rather than a triune composition, so it isn’t the statement that presents the threefold personhood. The other verses touch on related topics—Jesus’ role in salvation or a text about three who bear record in heaven in certain manuscripts—but they do not as directly codify the three persons in one Godhead in the way that the baptismal formula does.
