To consider God as the triune being, will help us to better understand who He is and deepen our worship of Him. We will observe these three persons of the Deity individually, for the purpose of our study and without presuming that we want to separate the trinity, God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. As I mentioned, from the beginning God has wanted to reveal Himself to man. I have pointed out how each of your names in the Old Testament represents a divine revelation of another aspect His being unveiled to your beloved creation.

God the father. But perhaps, the most significant revelation of God as a father is creation itself. As I explained before, God created man so He could have a family. Because God is love, He needed someone to respond willingly to His love. It cost the Deity an inestimable suffering to give his love to us. We can not understand the suffering of God in eternity. The knowledge that man would fail the test of love by choosing to disobey him instead of walking in a relationship with him, and that Jesus had to be the lamb of sacrifice to redeem us for Him, an incalculable loss that God had to suffer.
So great was the father's need for someone in whom He could pour out His love-a family-and I believe man to proceed to fulfill his dream.
The long-suffering love of God produced the nature of the lamb. His family would share the nature of the lamb, the Spirit of love suffered. When we see the types of sacrifices that appear in the Old Testament, we see the celestial father suffering every time that the man had to select his unblemished lamb, tie it with ropes and take it to the temple to offer it in sacrifice. The heart of the father is beating with the desire to impart to us the same quality of love that the deity enjoyed in eternity.
That is why I am not amazed at the highest order of worship found in the book of Revelation, expressed in a loud voice, "The lamb that was slain is worthy to take power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise "(Revelation 5.12). God the father knew from the beginning what it would cost to have a family, and in his great love, He continued with his wonderful plan that included his son Jesus being the lamb without blemish that would redeem us from sin.
God the Son. The writer of the Hebrews shows us another way in which the father revealed himself and communicated his love to his people. (See Hebrews 1: 1-2). Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God the Father. During the last days of Jesus on earth, one of his disciples told him that he would be satisfied if He showed the father. Jesus' answer to that question may surprise some today as he should have done to his disciples. (See John 14: 9-10)
Obviously, the adoration of the father is adoration of the son.
When we worship God in Spirit and truth, we are worshiping the triune God. But as we intensify our appreciation and honor for God the Son revealed in the life of Jesus Christ, our desire to worship God will increase.
Jesus would not have allowed men to worship Him if He were not worthy to receive their worship. He would have told you the same thing that Peter said when Cornelius prostrated himself at his feet and I adore, 2Levantate, for I myself am also a man "(Acts 10:26) Jesus is completely worthy to receive our worship.
Jesus, the Son of God, the Lamb that was slain, will receive adoration and honor for all eternity.
God the Holy Spirit. When Jesus promised his disciples that He would send them the Holy Spirit, Jesus described him as the comforter, who would convince "the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment" (John 16: 8). He called it the "Spirit of truth," and said that He would guide them into all truth, teaching them the things that would come and glorify Jesus. It is very unfortunate that many Christians know very little about this third person of the Godhead.
Some refer to Him as "that." Others think of Him as an influence or power or that it is "languages."
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, who came to place us in a correct relationship with God. The Holy Spirit wants us to have communication and communion with Him in a greater intimacy than we could have with another person. Many of us do not enjoy that kind of relationship with the Holy Spirit, because we do not think of Him as a person.
Even when we have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we may not recognize him as a divine personality.
The Holy Spirit has simply come to reveal to us Jesus, the savior lover, to all those who respond to his invitation to receive eternal life. The Spirit offers eternal life to all those who accept the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus for their sins. It is only Holy Spirit has the power to save our souls and change us to the image of Christ....
