Salvation: the Father sent the Son the Son accomplished salvation on the cross and the Spirit applies that salvation to our lives Community: human relationships reflect the image of a relational God The Trinity models unity in diversity perfect harmony among equals Embracing the mystery: the Trinity isn't a puzzle to be solved but a divine reality to be worshiped trusted and adored As finite beings it's natural that we can't fully grasp an infinite God but that doesn't mean we can't understand the Trinity truly even if not completely As Augustine once said "If you can comprehend it it is not God." Final thoughts: rather than being a confusing theological concept the Trinity is a beautiful truth that reveals the heart of who God is; a relational loving unified being who invites us into His life and love So the next time you hear someone ask "How can God be 3 in one at the same time?" you can smile and say "It's not a contradiction It's a mystery and a glorious one at that."
