The Trinity:
God exists as a Trinity, One God in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.[1] All attributes are shared equally by all three[2]. while they are three separate persons[3], they still are one. One substance in three persons. Each have a separate and distinguishable function in the salvation and redemption of man. God the Father authored the plan of salvation, God the Son fulfilled the plan of salvation, and God the Holy Spirit carries out the plan of salvation[4]. Because God’s ways and thoughts are above ours[5], we cannot completely define the Trinity in human language, thus all analogies are incomplete and become illogical when illustrated.
Notwithstanding, my favorite illustration is the three dimensional rationalization. In this illustration, the three dimensions each represent 1/3 of the Godhead. God the Father is the height, God the Son is the width, and God the Holy Spirit is the depth. All dimensions are equal, and required to make a three dimensional object.
