Who is God?

God is not merely a force or a field of energy. He is personal. He is a Person.

God eternally exists as three Persons to be exact—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God, as one Being.

Similar to how a man could be a father, a son, and a husband at the same time...but God's existence is more profound. Still, this example gives you a general idea.

Let’s go to the Word for an example.

“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” Genesis 1:26 (ESV)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:18 (ESV)
