But when the kindness of God our Saviour and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us—not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:4-7 (HCSB)

 

The Gospel is inherently Trinitarian.

Each Person of The Trinity is equal, but each performs a distinct function. The Father loves us and gives His Son to us. The Son loves us and gives Himself for us. The Spirit loves us and gives Himself to live in us. We can see that God is incredibly relational—and by including us into the wonderful family of the Trinity, we can have close fellowship and relationship with him.

Our belonging in the Trinity teaches us how to live and serve as God's sons and daughters. This wonderful privilege of adoption and sonship liberates us from performance and self-effort. By assuming the position of a beloved child of God, you can do anything in His name with the fullness of His life flowing in and through you.

God's love for you never ceases, regardless of whether you have been faithful or faithless. Knowing God's perfect love, on the other hand, enables you to look beyond your flaws and imperfections and continue to move by faith rather than sight. Be certain that God who begins a good work in you will complete it on the day of Jesus' return (Philippians 1:6).

How we perceive the Trinity will influence how we live the Christian life.

Far from being an abstract theological concept, the doctrine of the Trinity is surprisingly practical. The gospel and the message of salvation would not make sense unless all three Persons of the Trinity worked in unison.
