2 Corinthians 13:14 is one of those verses that depicts the Trinity of Almighty God more succinctly that usual.
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
By Biblical “Name” … each “Member” of the Trinity, in a single Sentence!
We cannot ignore any of the “Persons” mentioned here. That would be a false move now labeled “Modalism.” Not can we totally separate “Them,” which would end up being some form of “polytheism!”
We worship ONE GOD … who is THREE in Essence. (The very word “Trinity” means “tri” (three) in “unus” (one) … THREE IN ONE!
But just how important is belief in that doctrine, the “Trinity?” The Fact of God’s Tri-Unity?
Vitally important!
Look at Creation …
Genesis 1:1 … “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” This refers to God the Father!
John 1:3 … “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” Referring to the “Word” … He being Jesus! Paul adds to this Point in Colossians 1:16 … “For by him were all things created.”
Now look back to Genesis 1:2 …“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Creation week … the Holy Spirit “fluttering,” bringing order out of chaos!
The Trinue God … Father, Son and Spirit … making this universe!
Clearly so!
Now look at Salvation …
God the Father … His Idea … “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:15
God the Son … His Death, His Blood … “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9, speaking of Jesus!
God the Holy Spirit … “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Jesus died, offering Himself …”through the Holy Spirit” unto God the Father!
Amazing!
I suggest that every major doctrine of the Bible, every significant Move of God … is accomplished through His Whole Being … via Father/Son/Holy Spirit Interaction/Communion/Fellowship/Unity!!!
Glory to the Godhead!

Just a thought to “chew” and “digest” throughout the day. And if you should do so, no telling what nourishment. what meat, what revelation/illumination the Lord will impart to you!
Hallelujah!
