Trinity: How Do I Relate to the Godhead?

Understanding the Holy Trinity (Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit) is beyond the finite minds God put in our heads. However, after understanding that God is triune it might become concerning for Christians if they are following the Lord correctly? Is it alright that I focus on Jesus more? Do I have to pray in the name of the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit?" What about the Pater Noster or "Our Father Prayer?" It doesn't mention Jesus. The questions like a vine grow. Since much confusion surrounds the Trinity, I have endeavored in this post to help settle these possible concerns.

For those concerned about perfectly acknowledging the Triune nature of God; here are the verses to for you:

"Anyone who has seen me, has seen the Father. So why do you ask to 'see the Father?." (John 14:9)
If the focus of your devotion in prayer and relating to the Triune God is Jesus Christ, that is perfect! because when you see Jesus you see the Father and consequently the Holy Spirit is with the Father and Jesus.

"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30)
This verifies that the Father Jehovah and Jesus are one. From this we deduce that the Holy Spirit is one with Jesus as well because the verse in John 14:26 says, "The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and in my Name." If Jesus and the Father are one, than the Holy Ghost comes from Jesus as well.

When we look at Jesus we see the Father and feel the Holy Spirit. If we think of the Father we shall see Jesus and the feel the Holy Spirit. If we focus on the presence of the Holy Spirit we shall be drawn to the Father and the Son (Jesus). It is one complete circle, no matter who you focus on will lead you to the rest of the Trinity! So yes, being devoted and following Jesus will ensure you follow The Father and Holy Spirit too. Hope that helps.

Addendum:

We must also take into account that Jesus said, "I am the way, the Truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father is through me." (John 14:6). My point in the last paragraph was that if you already believe in Jesus Christ and thus the Trinity, that you need not worry about if you are failing to focus on the Father and the Holy Spirit too and that once you are saved, the other parts of the Trinity will point to Christ. But Jesus rightfully so should be where we focus, for He leads us to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
