This verse is an explanation of Genesis 1:26 where God said "let us make man." It works this way. God is one entity, but He has three distinct personalities or self identities. Humans have similar capacities, that is, we can be known as several different persons to several different people. So in this way, we are made in the "image of God." This means that the "us" in Genesis 1:26 is a reference to God's three distinct personalities.
Paul knew and understood this when he said that he was chosen by God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ; that is, God is the entity and Jesus is the personality or self identity through whom God chose him. Then Paul said in verse 3 that the Father has blessed us by sending Jesus to die for us. In other words, the Father is the personality through whom God made the decision that He would come to us as the Son.
Let's say it like this. Paul is simply explaining that great eternal truth that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in His dealings with us. And that the way God speaks and interacts with us humans is through his personality Jesus, all under the direction of His personality the Father.
God bless you!
no need to MEDITATE over nor look back or going in that direction.
All the things Lord Yahwe does in our lives is definitely the best. I believe that.
