Knowing God - He Has Plurality



Gen 3:22

And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:


Here we see the Lord conversing with Himself and giving us insight into who He is.  He uses a plural pronoun when He says “as one of us”.  Our God is one God and there is only one God.  How can this be?  This is because of a plurality within God Himself.  Our God has revealed Himself as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  He reveals Himself as this way back in the book of Genesis even before Christ came in the form of man.  We must worship Him in truth and the truth reveals that our God has a plurality within Him.  This is why the Holy Spirit is to be worshiped.  The Son of God is to be worshiped and the Father is to be worshiped.  If we do not see Him this way, we are not recognizing Him according to truth as revealed in His written word.  It is a bit of a concept to totally grasp but our understanding does not determine whether something is true.
