The Godhead, also called the Trinity, consists of the
Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. They are united in goal, in love and in
person. The Dictionary of Bible Themes explains the trinity this way:
"The characteristically Christian doctrine about God.
It declares that there is only one true God; that this God is three persons,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, each of whom is distinct from, yet
interrelated with, the others; and that all three persons are fully, equally
and eternally divine (Manser)."
In their relationship with one another they give everything
they are to each other in order to accomplish what is required. The Heavenly
Father pours Himself into the His Son, Jesus, in order to strengthen Him and
encourage Him that He was able to fulfill the salvation role which required His
suffering. They Both Pour into the Holy Spirit that He may perform the work
required in each of us to draw us to salvation and then into the depths of the
love of Christ. each one has a role to be performed and each one gladly
performs those roles knowing if they do not something would be missing in the
over all scheme of things. This is the same picture we should immolate in our
families. This is accomplished by us all becoming what Christ prayed in John
17.
John 17:11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in
the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which
you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.
Jesus prays for us to be one just as they are one. We
accomplish this by the love we share for one another and having the same goals
as the trinity does. This is only possible through a deep relationship with
Christ who gives us the depth of love required to accomplish this. Through this
love the husband, who is the head of the family, gives to the wife and children
that they may become whatever God has called them to be. This is not done in a
dictatorship, but in love just as the Heavenly Father does with each of us. The
wife encourages the husband in his role and with the husband empowers the kids
to grow and become God fearing men and women that they may know the truth of
Gods love in their lives. In so doing the family becomes the same picture as
the Holy Trinity. their unified love and goal and the three make up one family.
There is only one
Holy Trinity in Heaven but we can see a picture of them here on earth if we choose
to live the life God meant for us to live in the first place.
