THE CREATION OF MAN
"Genesis 1:26-27"
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."
27- So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
"Colossians 3:10" And have put on the new self(Born again), which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator(GOD).
"Genesis 2:7" The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life(SOUL), and the man became a living being.
"Genesis 2:18" The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
"Isaiah 64:8" Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."
CONCLUSION : It is a blessing to know that God is our Creator and we were created in His image.

THE TRINITY
Why the Christian doctrine speaks about TRINITY? Because in the Bible appears the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as different persons one of other, but also united and sharing among them all the divine attributes that the three possess in a mutual delivery of love.
GOD in 3 persons. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON (Jesus Christ), and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Illustration how to understand the Trinity, it is like the WATER in 3 states (Solid, Liquid and Gaseous) but continues being Water.
Isaiah 48:16 "Come near me and listen to this: "From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret; at the time it happens, I am there." And now the Sovereign LORD (FATHER) has sent ME (SON), with his SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT).
Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, "Let us (TRINITY) 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."
1Peter 1:2 "who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the FATHER, through the sanctifying work of the HOLY SPIRIT for obedience to JESUS CHRIST and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance."
Matthew 28:18-20
18- "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19- Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT.
20- and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
John 14:16-17
16- "And I (JESUS CHRIST) will ask the FATHER, and he will give you another Counselor (HOLY SPIRIT) to be with you forever.
17- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him,because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."
John 16:13-15
13- "But when he, the SPIRIT of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on hi sown; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14- He will bring glory to me (JESUS CHRIST) by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
15- All that belongs to the FATHER is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you."
CONCLUSION: when we are praying we talk to God the Father, and we ask things in the name of God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit is our guide who does the intersection for us. It is the Trinity and the 3 persons are ONE GOD. We have to pray daily to learn and know more of God to love HIM more.

SOVEREIGN of GOD
"Acts 4:24" When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. "Sovereign Lord," they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and the sea,and everything in them.
"Romans 12:1-2" Therefore, I(apostle Paul) urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2- Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
"Genesis 45:5" And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me(Joseph) here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
"Daniel 4:34-35" 34-...His(God) dominion is an eternal dominion;...35- ... He (God) does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth....
" Ephesus 1:11" In him(God) we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.
Conclusion: The Sovereign of God is Good, pleasant and perfect. Of the Sovereign of God comes the eternal salvation of us. AMEN
