Picture this:
The Father is our goal. He is the author and creator of the universe. He is everything and everything we are and have and could wish for is ultimately Him.
The Son is the standard. He lived the life the Father wants mankind to live. That is, a life devoted to God, the Father. Everything Jesus did was the will of His Father. Therefore, Jesus is the blueprint of how we are to live our lives.
The Holy Spirit is the energy by which we can live this life. The power comes from within. He prompts us in the way we should go and breathes into us the fuel to live in obedience.
When someone believes and accepts that Jesus is the substitute for our sins, we become adopted sons and daughters of God. Therefore, we are to live the life that Jesus lived in obedience to the Father. How do we do this?
The Father is ahead of us. He is our destination and our journey. The Son is beside us. He will coach us on the path for it is one He Himself has taken. The Spirit dwells within us. He prompts us for each step to take and empowers us to make each step.
