When we think of God's revelation of himself, one of the ambiguous aspects is the Trinity, an expression of God's being one and at the same time diverse without lessening the significance of either aspect. It is a way to describe indescribable depth and fullness. It is a manner of saying Godness is equally manifest in multiplicity while remaining oneness. And so we say God is Father, Son, and Spirit; that he is creation as it comes to be; that he is salvation both in act and in its day-to-day realization; and he is the sustaining presence making actual what is not yet. He is and is becoming, first and last as well as here and now.
He is a oneness composed of an unlimited possibility of expressions of facets which compose, cause, and are the unity. It is how it must be since God, like all who live, is made up of differences brought together in a life giving act of reconciliation.
In his person, there is a joining or marriage of the opposites and ambiguities that make them entire, giving them a wholeness they could not have apart from their union. God's personality is a singularity that constantly changes, forming itself into itself as it touches its own diversity. It could not be as full in any of its aspects as it is in its coming together.
