Question 6. How many Persons are in the Godhead? Answer. There are three Persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God, the same in essence, equal in power and glory. —C. H. Spurgeon's A Puritan Catechism
To meditate on the three Persons of the Godhead is to walk in thought through the garden eastward in Eden and to tread on holy ground.
