Triune Savior

God's ways are higher than our ways. Though He reveals Himself to us in the Scriptures, we cannot fully grasp who He is. But a mathematic illustration may help us begin to understand.
1 + 1 + 1 cannot equal 1. However, 1 x 1 x 1 does equal 1!
Just as multiplication is a higher form of math than addition, so God's ways are higher than ours. Our heavenly Father does not ask us to understand His triune nature. He asks us to trust in Him and leave the details to Him.
As you ponder the mystery of who God is, also turn your attention to what God does. God has not revealed His triune nature in order to confuse you. He desires to show you the many aspects of His love and work of salvation.

It's so difficult to understand the Trinity. God is One. He is before all other gods. In fact, there are no other gods...except for those that we create for ourselves. Yet, as Christ said, "I and the Father are one" (Jn 10:30). The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. How is this possible? I don't know. I just know that it is. One of these days I'll see Them face-to-face and then I'll go, "That's how You do it!"
