"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1; NKJV)
God - 'elohiym – plural; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative (Strong’s).
Elohim is the Hebrew plural noun which communicates the concept of the Godhead:
1. God the Father
2. God the Word
3. God the Spirit
In the physical creation the Father planned, the Word executed the plan, and the Spirit arranged and organized.
Genesis 1:26-28; NKJV
Then God said,"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them,"Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Elohim created us in Him image. As image bearers we are responsible to them. Let us glorify them in our lives!
