| description | This article addresses Christian discipleship and the biblical Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), with emphasis on the work of the third Person. Using theological description and analytical investigation, and with the doctrine of the Trinity as a framework, it examines the concept of mathētēs and the ontological identity of the Trinity as set forth in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, then analyzes key elements found in Jesus’ teachings on discipleship. It highlights the Holy Spirit’s role in maintaining humanity’s connection with the triune God, which results in four essential aspects for the follower of Jesus: justification, sanctification, the endowment of charismatic missionary capacities (spiritual gifts), and missionary action in fulfilling the Son’s commission. Finally, it concludes—based on the analysis of Jesus’ evangelical commission— that all three Persons of the Trinity play a vital role in forming disciples for God’s kingdom, which establishes the connection between the divine Persons and the disciple, whose bond is promoted by the economic action of the Holy Spirit, who uses the disciple-making ministry to form other new disciples. |

Este artículo aborda el discipulado cristiano y la Trinidad bíblica (Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo), con énfasis en la obra de la tercera Persona. Utilizando la descripción teológica y la investigación analítica, y teniendo como marco la doctrina de la Trinidad, examina el concepto de mathētēs y la identidad ontológica de la Trinidad según lo expuesto en la Gran Comisión en Mateo 28:19-20, para luego analizar elementos clave presentes en las enseñanzas de Jesús sobre el discipulado. Se destaca el papel del Espíritu Santo en mantener la conexión de la humanidad con el Dios trino, lo que da como resultado cuatro aspectos esenciales para el seguidor de Jesús: justificación, santificación, dotación de capacidades misioneras carismáticas (dones espirituales) y acción misionera en el cumplimiento de la comisión del Hijo. Finalmente, concluye —con base en el análisis de la comisión evangélica de Jesús— que las tres Personas de la Trinidad desempeñan un papel vital en la formación de discípulos para el reino de Dios, lo que establece la conexión entre las Personas divinas y el discípulo, cuyo vínculo es promovido por la acción económica del Espíritu Santo, quien utiliza el ministerio de formación de discípulos para generar otros nuevos discípulos.
