I am a simple man, and I believe that God makes things simple. I love the famous quote from Albert Einstein: "When the solution is simple, God is answering."

God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit
I had this question asked recently: Explain the relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Some scriptures to read:
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning."
John 1:14 "The 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."
I John 5:5 " ...Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."
I John 5:6 "This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth."
Hebrews 1:3 "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word."
II Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

Christians are taught:
1. "we are the temple of the living God" 2 Cor 6:16
2. "God lives in us and his love is made complete in us" 1 John 4:12
3. "The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work." Jesus speaking in John 14:10
4. "I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." Jesus in John 14:20
5. "your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God" 1 Cor 6:19
6. "This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us." 1 John 4:13-16
These scriptures, and many more, are wonderful promises from God for His children.
