Perhaps you have seen a diagram illustrating the Holy Trinity consisting of three circles representing The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit connected together by lines forming a triangle. This picture illustrates the fact that the trinity is one God in three distinct persons. This is a difficult concept to understand, but it is one that is easy to believe.

Within this Holy Triad there is perfect unity, harmony, and love along with an infinite expression of all of the divine attributes that characterize who and what God is. Before creation, in eternity past, God existed alone, yet he was not alone in that he was triune in nature. He was alone as God, but in communion with himself as a Triune being. Within himself, God is fully self-contained, self-sufficient, and self-satisfied in need of nothing. He is far above, beyond, and completely independent from everything that he has created. The things that he has created were created because it was the pleasure of his own will to do so, not because he had any need of what he created.

Picture in your mind The Father looking to the right at The Son, smiling and then looking to the left at The Spirit and smiling. At the same time The Son looks back at The Father smiles and then looks to The Spirit smiling, as The Spirit looks to the Father smiling and to The Son smiling. With the exception of one dark day at Calvary, this perpetual Trinitarian initiation and reciprocation has always been in action….. simultaneously giving and receiving infinite love, acceptance, and approval between themselves. When one member of the trinity honors another, God is honored. God has no divided interests within himself. This is and has always been an eternal constant within the Godhead. In this reality each member of the Trinity celebrates one another in love.

There is never, nor could there ever be, any schism or division between them. Their love for one another is perfect, with each member of the Trinity wanting the best, knowing the best, thinking the best, and choosing the best for one another. The Holy Spirit never looks with jealousy upon The Son discontented that he must always glorify and bear witness to the Son and not himself, or question why all judgement should be committed to The Son alone. The Son did not object to The Father’s plan for him to bear the full weight of the redemption of man through the shame and suffering of the cross. The Father does not seek to usurp preeminence above The Son and The Spirit for his own personal aggrandizement. Such thoughts are ridiculous in relationship to an infinite Holy God of unity. All three persons share in common the satisfaction of purpose undertaken by each person in perfect agreement. All three persons are unified in essence as well as in the purposes they have unanimously decreed. All of this is true because each member seeks the glory of the other and in doing so receives honor from one another.

Let all of God’s people stop and behold the beauty of this unity and love until it convicts, persuades, transforms, and purifies our hearts and souls, and until it brings the change that our divided hearts are so deeply in need of.
