Philippians 2:5_11 says;

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;

Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God;

But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men;

And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross;

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every other name;

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in  heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

God in three persons. Blessed Trinity.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Now let me summarize briefly how the three work together;

God the Father guides and loves His people. The Father who is the All_Powerful, ever loving God is the architect and creator of everything. He revealed Himself to several people throughout the Old Testament as the "God over us."

Then came Jesus Christ at the start of the New Testament. He was God in the flesh who came to partake in our sufferings and bear our sins. Jesus, was initially revealed as "God with us" or Emmanuel. Then once Jesus completed His work on the cross, we were blessed with the New Testament made a promise to send to send the Holy Spirit to us who would live in us forever.

The Holy Spirit is Jesus Himself living inside us. The Holy Spirit is "God in us" forever. The Holy Spirit is like a person who has a will, intellect and emotions.

This is about The Trinity.

Christ humbled Himself being found in the image came down to earth in the form of man and why? because he loves us.

He humbled Himself by sacrificing Himself to die for our sins. He thought of us first in everything He did. He did not care if He was about to leave all His glory just to die for our sins. He did not make Himself proud being in the glory of God but instead He humbled Himself to save you and I.

Apostle Paul says the mind that Christ has should be in us. He was humble and thought about us first and He endured the cross (He bore all the sins of the world on Him). Likewise we also should be like minded like Christ. Being humble and considerate in everything and thinking about what you can do to benefit others. There are some certain things you need to sacrifice to achieve something.

God then rewarded Christ by giving Him a name that's above every other name,that at the mention of His name every knee should bow and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father in heaven.

Likewise if we also humble ourselves, God would reward and bless us abundantly.

1Peter 5:5__"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in die time."
