One God in Three People (The Triune God)
Source
Many deny the Trinity, consider that God is one person, refer only to the divinity of the Father and deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. "... all honor the Son as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. " John 5:23 (RV1960). "Verily I say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the children of men, and blasphemies, whatever they may be; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of eternal judgment. " Mark 3: 28-29 (RV1960).
If we read the Bible, from Genesis we speak of God as Trinity. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1: 1 (RV1960). (God in Hebrew is "Elohim," which means plurality in the unity of Deity, in the plurality of all manifestations of God's power and authority, He is found as a unity and fullness in himself). The three persons of the Trinity were involved in the work of creation:
"Then God said: WE MAKE MAN OUR image ...". Genesis 1:26 (RV1960).
"And the Lord God said, Behold, man is as one of US ..." Genesis 3:22 "(RV1960).
"And the LORD said: (...) Now, then, WE DESCEND, and we CONFUSE there his tongue ...". Genesis 11: 6-7 (RV1960).
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord, who said: Who will I send, and who will go for US? ...". Isaiah 6: 8 (RV1960).
GOD IS ONE

"... Jehovah our God, Jehovah is one." Deuteronomy 6: 4 (RV1960).
"For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens; He is God, he who formed the earth, who made it and composed it; he did not create it in vain, so that it was inhabited he created it: I am Jehovah, and there is no other ". Isaiah 45:18 (RV1960).
GOD IS A TRINITY
Father "... for us, however, there is only one God, the Father, from whom all things proceed, and we are for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. " 1 Corinthians 8: 6 (RV1960).
"Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; because to him God the Father pointed ". John 6:27 (RV1960).

"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2: 9 (RV1960).
"But of the Son he says: Thy throne, O God, for the century of the century; Scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. " Hebrews 1: 8 (RV1960).
"I and the Father are one." John 10:30 (RV1960).
"If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me. But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. " John 10: 37-38 (RV1960).
"Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. If you knew me, you would also know my Father; and from now on you know him, and you have seen him. " John 14: 6-7 (RV1960).
"In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you, for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and you have believed that I came from God. I left the Father, and I have come into the world; again I leave the world, and I go to the Father. " John 16: 26-28 (RV1960).
Holy Spirit
Jesus said: "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have said to you." John 14:26 (RV1960).
"And Peter said: Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and steal the price of the inheritance? Holding it back, did not it stay with you? and sold, was it not in your power? Why did you put this in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God. " Acts 5: 3-4 (RV1960).
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 (RV1960)
"But you do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, it is not of Him. " Romans 8: 9 (RV1960).
"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30 (RV1960).

Matthew 28: 19-20 (RV1960).
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwell in perfect equality and unity, the Three are One!
You are right sister, we have only one God and to whom we serve.
The unity of the Godhead is a model for the unity of the church. Though unique in their expressions and purposes, we all have a grandeur purpose of pleasing God and reconciling men back to Him. Thanks @darlenys01 for this reflection.

This Knight is happy the reason he shares this smile.
There is only one God, but in the unity of the divine essence there are three persons co-eternal and equal in everything, of the same substance, but different in subsistence.
The teaching of the Trinity is one that goes beyond the reach of the human mind. The human mind can not perceive the things of God because they are madness to him. The Missionary and Master John Wesley expressed the following: "Show me a worm that can understand man, and I will show you a man who can understand a triune God"
Well done sister, God bless you 👍
The Father is the one who begets, the Son the begotten and the Holy Spirit is the one who comes from the Father and the Son. Because these three people in the Godhead are in perfect unity, there is only one Almighty God and one is his name. Zechariah 14: 9; John 1:18, 15:26
Jesus is referred to as the Son but Jesus existed eternally with God. Jesus wasn't created by the Father.
Do not get confused:
In agreement then, there is what in the Son constitutes him Son and not the Father and there is what the Holy Spirit constitutes him as Holy Spirit and not the Father or the Son.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit never appear identical in person, nor confused as to kinship, nor divided as to Deity, nor opposed as to cooperation. The Son is in the Father and the Father in the Son, in relationship. The Father does not come from the Son, but the Son comes from the Father, in terms of authority. The Holy Spirit comes from the Father and the Son in terms of nature, kinship, cooperation and authority. None of the three persons in the Deity work or exist separate or independent of the others. (John 5: 17-30, 32)
The Trinity means that God is one in essence and three persons: God is one in one sense, and three in another sense and at the same time. That may be incomprehensible and mysterious.
