I believe the trinity is the method by which Human Beings can understand and interact with God. God is One. Existence is because of God. So how can a limited being in this existence experience God?
God is the creator of everything you see. As a part of his creation, you can see his work. All existence, every star, every grain of sand...literally everything you perceive came from him. Thus he is the Father and creator of you and everything else. You can perceive God through creation.
You can also perceive God through his Word. Jesus Christ. Jesus walked on this earth in a purposeful life and left behind a record that shows us God acting through history, from Genesis to an Apocalypse. You can read his inspired word and you can perceive God through the logos, his word.
Finally, you can directly experience God. You can actually feel his 'spirit' interact with your soul. And the idea of doing so exists in most cultures throughout time, and many people have had experiences of the Holy Spirit touching them. So you can perceive God directly when he enters your heart'.
As a human being, those are the total methods available to you to know God. And the construct of the trinity is the sum of the ways that exist for you to interact with God.
