These three are one

 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. – 1 John 5.6-8

 

The Trinity is one of those great unknowns of scripture. It is impossible to really figure it out. How can three be one?

 

And yet there it is. The Trinity is clearly seen from the literal beginning.

 

Why is God a Triune God? As God surely He could do all that He does without three natures.

 

Of course, but I’m think there are a coup!e of reasons.

 

I think it is easier for us to understand God and the way He selflessness can see Him as a loving, heavenly Father, and as the Son of God who came to live and die for us, and as the indwelling Spirit living in us and being our comforter.

 

But I also see that God is a God in fellowship. He has fellowship with Himself. He created us for fellowship. We made us social beings to fellowship with each other.

 

The great Three in One. I think He is who He is to help us be what He wants us to be.
