A Summer "SCHOOL" lesson

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (Genesis 1:26)
The name commonly used for God in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word Elohim. It is also found in the singular form El and Elah. Whenever we find the English word God used in the Old Testament, it is a translation of this Hebrew word Elohim or one of its forms. The noun Elohim is plural but it is always used with a singular verb when it speaks of the true God. This indicates a unity and diversity within the nature of God. This unity and diversity is revealed in Scripture as the doctrine of the Trinity. God did something special when He made man. Just as Adam and all men are born, man has the opportunity to be born again. God breathed life into Adam and offers His breath of life to each of us through Jesus’ sacrificial death upon the cross! God is always God. His Spirit has been hovering around for all time and lives within every believer today. BUT . . .
Jesus is the difference between Christianity and all other faiths. He is THE WORD and THE LORD. He is the ONLY WAY to THE FATHER! He comes again as KING of kings and LORD of lords. . .THE LORD of the ARMIES! (Revelation 19:13-16)
