This great "apostolic benediction," as it is often called, reveals some crucial points regarding the Christian declaration that God is Triune, i.e., he is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This verse informs us that the three Persons (within the one being of God) are equal in deity and in the spiritual resources needed to minister to God's people. Further searching in the NT also reveals that each of these three salvation benefits - grace, love, and fellowship - are actually ministered to us by each person of the Trinity. And these great benefits are our personal possession and experience from the beginning and throughout the Christian life. Thus "the Christian life is a continual relationship with the three persons of the one God." We should embrace this reality and as we have been embraced by it.
