Who is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit?

Good Morning Beloved,

I was asked recently about the Trinity of God. So, the question is:  When you talk about the Godhead, are you talking about three god's?  I decided to look up 3 words. 
1.)  trinity:  a set of three persons or things that form a unit.
2.)  unit: a single person or group especially as distinguished  from others; or as a part of a whole.
3.)  triune: one being three in one; triad; trinity
So, this is how the Godhead is explained.   God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit equals
one person.
In John 10:30  (KJV) and also in the ( NIV)  it says "  I and my Father are one."
God is a Spirit,  Jesus Christ is God manifested ( to be evidence)  in the flesh, and the Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit of God.
A few weeks ago my grandson, Michael and I were talking and he wanted me to explain this to him and so I  did it this way.. I took an egg out and ask him what is this called?  He told me an egg. I told him to break it open and to tell me what he saw inside.  He told me that it was an egg white and egg yolk.  So I ask , is it three different things ?  NO, it is an egg broken down. So, I told him  that is the same with the Godhead. Three parts that equal one person. 
There are many names and titles for God, but there is only one name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved:  that name is  Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Acts 4:10-12 ( paraphrased)
In Matthew 28:19  "2:  Go and make disciples of all nations  baptizing them in the NAME of the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit." This is Jesus Christ talking to His disciples.  Now, go to the book of Acts and see what Peter ( one of Jesus Christ 's disciples) says to do .. Acts 2:38  " Repent, and be baptized in the NAME of Jesus Christ "So the Name is a very important part of our obedience. Very important part of our understanding the Word of God.
If you were having trouble understanding the Godhead I sure hope that this has helped.
Remember:  Smile, it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you today.
