Trinity

God created us in HIS IMAGE. God's image is "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" We are Body, Soul and Spirit You can go through the Old Testament and show the Trinity there. The first place to start would be in Genesis. “And God said”--what?--“Let us”--who’s that? Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. The Hebrew, 'adam meaning man, it means that God created a race rather than an individual. In MAN, there are three in one, as God is, who manifests himself at all times in three different persons. People often will create their own image of God as this verse describe: Romans 1:23 "and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles." We can reason all we want whether we are "so so", or "so so"..... in reality, we are CREATED IN HIS IMAGE.
