We can never fully understand the mystery of the Trinity, but we can sum it up in the following formula: God is three “Persons” in one Nature. The three Persons of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – are all equally God, and they cannot be divided. The great thing about this Christian understanding of God is that it shows us that God is a community of interpersonal love and respect. Before God created anything at all, love was part of his essential being. Of course it’s hard – or impossible – to understand fully the concept of the Trinity, but it should come as no surprise that the infinite God is rather beyond our finite minds!
