The Trinity's Love
Ephesians3 3:14-19
14. For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,This verse has the same condition found in Matthew 6:33; 'But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well'. Our starting point is God! Paul is on his knees before God.
15. from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16. that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Paul is praying that each person's inner-beings is strenghtened with power through the Holy Spirit, (our Comforter)
17. so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
To be strengthened by the Holy Spirit is to possess faith to hold Christ in your heart with Love.
18. may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19. and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
To fully comprehend the fullness of His grace.

Here we see the Trinity at work. We pray to our Father to instill the Love of Christ through the Holy Spirit. Your faith is required.
Knowing the Love of Christ will enrich your understanding of the Holy Spirit and God! If God is Love then the Holy Spirit and Jesus must be Love.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
comforter. John 14:16
I draw your attention to the word another. In Greek, there are two possible words for another; allos and heteros. The word allos refers to similar; of the very same kind; or same character. Pretty much a duplicate. The second word, heteros, means one of different kind.
You probably have already determined that the word 'allos' was used in this verse. The Comforter and Jesus are alike! There are many verses that denotes the Trinity but I chose this one because of its connection to Love.
Many in the world struggle with this concept of Three in One but Christianity is based around it. In fact, to lose faith in One Person collapses your salvation for They are interwoven. The Trinity is the foundation to our faith!
First, Love God (Trinity) with all of your heart and then your lives will be deeply enriched.
