The Trinity is not an extraneous Christian doctrine – redemption only works if the Father, who eternally loves his own Son, chooses to adopt us as his children. But he doesn't make us his "extra" children, he unites us to Jesus so that we become just as much his children as Jesus. Then he guarantees this eternal reality by giving us his Holy Spirit as the down payment for our ultimate realization of this new family when Jesus returns and makes us completely his own.
