IF we cannot fully understand the doctrine of the TRINITY, we should not be troubled. Let me share a quote with you about this:
“He who would try to understand the Trinity fully will lose his mind. But he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul.” . Lindsell and Woodbridge

The TRINITY is a mystery and will remain a mystery until we meet the LORD in glory. However, this does not mean we cannot believe it. We must believe it. GOD is very different from us. HE is SPIRIT and we are human beings. Personally I feel that GOD is honored and pleased by our believing this doctrine. It is an act of faith.

Man is also a tripartite being - body, soul, and spirit - for we are made in the image and likeness of GOD. Let us worship this great and one true GOD WHO is so superior to us. Let us give thanks to each member of the TRINITY - the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT (GHOST) - for all that THEY have personally done for us.
