The answer
Christians do not have a doctrine that does not correlate to human life. This means that my life would be totally different if the Trinity did not exist.
It must not escape us that if we speak of God, our words should have different meanings than those we are familiar with, for there is nothing in existence like God, nor is there a creature that is like Him.
For example, if we say that a person is “beautiful,” it is not in this sense that we say that God is beautiful. We cannot by any means speak of God in the same manner that we speak of man, because human language falls short in speaking of God. Man cannot but enumerate the senses. God cannot be quantified, for if He is numbered becomes limited.
In summary, the case is not statistic, but the issue is with man’s calculating mind. In order for him to understand correctly, he must think.
In order to comprehend with our hearts before our minds, we must be aware that Christianity describes God as love-“God is love”-which means that there is an operation of love in God. He is not wrapped up in Himself, but is open to converse with man whom He loves, and it is a dialogue of love. The Father is the Lover, the Son if the Beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Love, or the Language of Mutual Love. The Father loves the Beloved Son with the Spirit of Love. Thus, the circle of love is complete, of which we speak about God saying that He is love.
- It is noteworthy that The Father loves The Son, The Son loves The Holy Spirit. So, every Hypostasis loves the other two and the Holy Spirit is not just a reciprocal love between The Father and The Son.
