One In Purpose

The Godhead is made up of three separate and distinct individuals.

#1 God, the Father (Elohim)
#2 God, the Son (Jehovah)
#3 God, the Spirit

The scriptures often make mention that these three beings are "one." The conclusion then being that they are one in the same person. However, that is not the case. When it says that they are "one" it simply means that they are one in purpose. The Son would say the same thing as the Father would. The Spirit would say what the Son would. They all have the same purpose, same goal in helping us to return to our Father in Heaven. They are, however, very distinct beings. For instance, when it came to the creation of the world...

-- God, the Father, was the architect.
-- God, the Son, was the engineer.

God, the Spirit, has a very unique job in that he testifies of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whenever someone testifies of Heavenly Father and the Savior, the Spirit touches their hearts with feelings of peace, love, compassion and their minds with clarity and perspective. Though God, the Spirit, is a separate and distinct being, he is still able to touch many people at once. A good analogy of this is the sun. There is only one sun but the effects of the sun are felt by thousands and thousands at the same time. Well the Spirit works the same way. There is only one of him but the effects of him are felt by thousands.

I know that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct beings. I know that each one of them has a very important role to play in this plan of happiness called life. I know that they are one in purpose in all that they do.
