The Trinity is all about Love. The Trinity is heart-warming. It is the Trinity
that makes human loving family relationships possible , , , but first let is
"get the math out of the way."
All orthodox Christians are Trinitarians, that is, we believe there is one God
who exists in three Persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit..
Unfortunately many people get bogged down in the seemingly mathematical
contradiction involved in 1 yet 3.
Forget trying to solve the 1 yet 3 thingy -- that's impossible to solve. Why?
Because there is nothing on this earth comparable to 1 yet 3. Here on the
1 yet 3 truth, we must rely only on revealed truth {revelation .. the Bible}.
God says He is 1 yet 3 and therefore God is 1 yet 3.
Now to the heart-warming elements of the Holy Trinity:
{as a human being you can warmly relate to all that follows}
Within the Holy Trinity there is the following:
■ Family -- the Three separate Persons are Family. They function like a Family.
■ Love -- the Three separate Persons love each other dearly.
■ Communication and conversation -- the Three separate Persons talk to each
other in loving relationships.
■ Family Relationships -- the Three separate Persons immensely enjoy their
I -You relationship.
■ Close friendship and close fellowship -- the Three Persons enjoy their
close friendship relationships. They are Friends.
We were made in God's image and this is why we all crave all that up
there also. God desires all the above. We also desire all the above. We
humans crave love and friendship and loving family relationships because
we are made in the image of God and that image is in us forever.
{By the way, there is a difference in WHAT and WHO.
God is 1 yet 3 in His BEING. His being is WHAT He is.
God is 1 yet 3 in PERSONS. His Personhood is WHO He is.}
Back to Love and Family Relationships , , ,
We are capable of loving our family members because God is a Family --
a Family of 3. We are made in His image. If God were 1 in 1, instead of
1 yet 3, we would be incapable of enjoying loving family relationships.
The fact that God is 1 yet 3 is what makes us social creatures who crave love
and friendship and loving family relationships. We were made in the image of
God.
By the way, God, as early as Genesis, said let US make man in OUR image
and in OUR likeness. Genesis 1:26. We understand from the New Testament
that Genesis 1:26 was an early reference to the Holy Trinity.
These three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.
