Are Your Relationships Divine (Part I)?

A couple of the earliest comments on the blog talked about the relationship of the members of the Trinity to each other, as well as the model of relationship that the Trinity is to us.

I'd like to explore that a bit more with you. What exactly does that mean to each of us?

First, some Scripture on the relationship of the members of the Trinity to each other.

A divine relationship means working in harmony:

When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me. John 15:26 (NASB)

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but
you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17 (NASB)

The members of the Trinity clearly work towards one purpose.

Have you thought of the Trinity in this fashion before? Are your relationships about this kind of community, about working together to achieve a goal?

Is there other Scripture that you turn to when your thoughts turn to this aspect of the Trinity?
