There’s no way to depict physically the nature of the structure of the Trinity. If there was, God would have revealed it in His word and/or creation.
So, God is best seen first in creation -
Ps 19:1-4 “1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4Yet their voice b goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
Next, He chose to be seen, even his invisible qualities, in what He made, in those, He has handcrafted and made – that is mankind
Romans 1:20 “...since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made…”
Gen 1:26-28 “26Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, a and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Then, His word, of which Jesus personified as the Word -
John 1:1-4, 14 “ 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Hebrews 1:1-4 “1In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son”
Colossians 1:15-23 “ 15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation… 19…God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him…”
The written word is the written expression of God – that is, the word is for us His self-revelation, to us, for us, that speaks to us His mind, will, and purposes.
2Timothy 3:15-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for…”
2Peter 1:20-21 “Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one's own interpretation. For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
Then finally, Jesus’ incarnation, who came as man, to show us Himself, His Father, through His Person, words, works, and life; His death, burial, and resurrection - the Gospels
Let us not neglect the Holy Spirit and His indwelling sanctifying power - who leads us into all truth - working in us and with us to conform us to Jesus, that progression is seen, as we become more and more mature and complete in our become like Christ. (John 14-15; Romans 8; Galatians 5; Ephesians 1; 5)
Which leads us to “one another”, the body of Christ, the church.
Even Jesus said, “they will know you are my disciples by your love for one another“.
John 13:34-35 “34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
As we express, not only God's invisible qualities in our capacity to love and live with conscience, will, and purpose, we, as Jesus’ disciples, born again, in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, through the instruction of the word - Jesus’ life, works, and words - do the good works prepared in advance for us to do.
This IS God working in union and harmony with Himself (“us and our”) expressing His love for Himself, to Himself, and then to us, for us and our being saved - it is He who calls us to a loving fidelity to Him, and one another as He loves Himself and has chosen to be known through us.
So how does God reveal himself? How does He show Himself to us? By His loving us and teaching us to love as He loves, and so, as we love Him and one another, He is seen. (1Jn 4-5)
This is our honor, this is our privilege, this is what we were made for, and then created in Christ Jesus for, to be the good He is making us to be in Jesus and do the good works. (Ep 2)
So natural is our being like Him in Christ, that we, in fact, keep our spiritual fervor, the very nature of our being, simmering to a boil, when we serve the lord (Romans 12) our spiritual fervor is most naturally kindled when we act according to the nature we’ve been made, that is in the image of our God, and His serving One-another, as Jesus said “I have not come to be served, but to serve”
Thus, the nature of our making is a direct reflection, in accordance with, God‘s own existence, and our fidelity to him is to live on earth as He is has made us to be
That as God lives and loves as He is, He has made us to be like Him and has given us the capacity to live and love as He loves and loves - and is bringing it to perfection in Christ - creating us in Him. This is to “participate in the divine” 2Peter 1:4. One God, Three unique and distinct Persons. And we are one body, made up of many unique and distinct persons - gathered by God’s gracious and skillful hands to make something beautiful…
