Creation emphasizes that there is only one God — monotheism (v 27)
But here is a hint that there is more to God than meets the eye
In his singularity there is some sort of plurality


"Trinity"

  2. The Son — agent, does work — Col 1:16; John 1:3
  3. The Holy Spirit completes, gives life

IMAGE OF GOD 

We were made like him 

We were made to reflect him to creation

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
