Elohim... The Trinity

Elohim is the first name given to God in the bible.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The father was there, so was the Word and the Spirit (Breath) of God.

1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

This implies that we are to be in the image of God the Father the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
