Why is it important for Christians to understand the Trinity?
"Think about it. If God was just one person as Jews, Muslims, and Unitarians believe then a) God couldn't be love, because there was no one else to love until he created us, b) we couldn't be saved from God's judgment by God himself if Jesus was merely another human being, a sinner like us. He couldn't save us. Even if you were sinless he couldn't save us because only God can save us. c) If the Spirit was not God himself he couldn't have wedded the eternal Son to our humanity, unite us to that glorified humanity, and then indwell, sanctify, and glorify us. We can't be glorified, we can't be made like God by someone other than God himself." — Michael Horton
