Nature of the Godhead

Man created in the image of God – Genesis 1:27

Three distinct members of the Godhead – Matthew 3:16–17; John 14:16; Acts 7:55–56; 3 Nephi 11:4–11; Joseph Smith—History 1:17; Articles of Faith 1:1

The Father and the Son  have bodies of flesh and blood – Luke 24:39; John 1:14; D&C 130:22

The three members of the Godhead are united as one – John 17:21; 1 John 5:7; Alma 11:44; D&C 20:28

Our Heavenly Father can speak and move.  He knows individuals by name. He hears and answers our prayers.

55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56  And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

Acts 7:55 - 56

2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  1 John 3:2
