There are three Persons in God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
God has revealed Himself as a Trinity of Persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not merely different names or roles played by God, but three distinct divine Persons. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Each Person possesses intellect, will, and the fullness of the divine nature. This truth was gradually revealed throughout salvation history and fully revealed by Jesus Christ. At His Baptism, for example, the Son stood in the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove, and the Fathers voice was heard from Heaven. Although the mystery of the Trinity surpasses human understanding, it lies at the heart of Christian faith because it reveals that God is an eternal communion of love. Every Christian is baptised in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and is called to share in their divine life.
The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, one God by nature.
Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
