“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” John 16:25-28

Let it be part of our daily prayers, that we may know more of “the only true God,” as well as of Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Let us beware alike of the mistakes which some make, who speak of God as if there was no Christ; and of the mistakes which others make, who speak of Christ as if there was no God. Let us seek to know all three Persons in the blessed Trinity, and give to each One the honor due to him. Let us lay hold firmly of the great truth, that the Gospel of our salvation is the result of the eternal counsels of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and that we are as thoroughly debtors to the love of the Father, as to the love of the Spirit, or the love of the Son. No one has learned of Christ so deeply as the man who is ever drawing nearer to the Father through the Son–ever feeling more childlike confidence in Him–and ever understanding more thoroughly that in Christ, God is not an angry judge, but a loving Father and Friend.

Does it make any sense when you say “the ONLY true God” and the next moment you say: 1]God, the Father, 2] God, the son 3] and God, the Holy spirit? 3 gods or ONLY ONE?
3 person in 1 only God. That not mean “3 gods”. God as the Father, God as the Son and God as the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that by Faith.
