Christians believe in one GOD ( Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 44:24) and that this GOD has always existed, is Eternal and created all things. We believe that there is one GOD and that GOD has three different persons; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three are each GOD, but are separate. You for example have a soul, spirit and body, but you are one being. Your soul is you, your spirit is you and your body is you and yet they are separate. This is similar to The Holy Trinity, this example comes from GOD through Doug Perry, whose YouTube channel can be found ---> here <--- and whose website can be found over ---> here <---.
Christians do not believe that GOD is three gods, but one GOD in three persons, as there was no god with GOD (Deuteronomy 32:39) The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are not each other but are eternal and all one GOD; united in perfect harmony.
The trinity is displayed in The Old Testament, consider the following verses:
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”-Genesis 1:26
"And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
-Genesis 3:22
"Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.""
-Genesis 11:7
"And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
"Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name."-Matthew 6:9
"For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your
offences."-Matthew 6:14
"But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences."-Matthew 6:15
"That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee."-Matthew 6:18
"Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?"-Matthew 6:26
"For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things."-Matthew 6:32
"If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in Heaven, give good things to them that ask him?"-Matthew 7:11
"Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven."-Matthew 7:21
In psalms (The Father and The Son)

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"-Isaiah 6:8
Some Muslim's argue that the use of "Us" in these Scripture is used in the royal sense, as it is in the unholy Koran. However I would challenge a Muslim to give proof of any text that predates the 7th century BC which uses "we" or "us" other then the Koran (As I do not believe the Koran is Eternal or in Heaven.)
When informing the readers of an action by two or more members of The Holy Trinity, GOD uses the Hebrew word Elohim, Elohim is the plural word for GOD, as El is the singular word for GOD.
The Trinity; Persons as individuals.
Although The Members Trinity are in Divine Unity, they are separate as your spirit, soul and body are, they are not the same, while at the same time they are you. These Persons have acted in different ways; not against each other but in Divine Union with His plan. You, as a trinatarian being for example eat and drink as a body, and your spirit does spiritually, in this way you keep yourself in union but your "persons" (Your Soul, body and Spirit.) have different functions.
The Father:
"The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee."-Psalm 2:7
"And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."-Acts 13:32-33
"And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands."-Isaiah 64:8
"Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name."-Matthew 6:9
"For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your
offences."-Matthew 6:14
"But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences."-Matthew 6:15
"That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee."-Matthew 6:18
"Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?"-Matthew 6:26
"For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things."-Matthew 6:32
"If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in Heaven, give good things to them that ask him?"-Matthew 7:11
"Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven."-Matthew 7:21
The Son:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men."-John 1:1-4.
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."-John 14:6
"He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people He was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His Death, though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth."-Isaiah 53:7-9.

The Holy Spirit:
"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come".-Matthew 12: 31-32
The Trinity: As a Perfect Union
In The Great commission (Involved: All Three members.)
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in The Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."-Matthew 28:19-20
Jesus's baptism
"Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that moment Heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of GOD descending like a dove and lighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”-Matthew 3:13-17.
In the creation (At least two Members of The Holy Trinity)
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, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."-Genesis 1:26
In Jesus' minerstery, from Isaiah (All Three Members.)
"The Spirit of The Sovereign Lord is on me. Because the Lord has anointed Me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,a planting of The Lord for the display of His splendor."-Isaiah 61:1-3.
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."-John 14:16-17.
In Zechariah (The Father and The Son are involved.)
"Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you," declares the LORD. "Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent Me to you."-Zechariah 2:10-11.
"Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
In psalms (The Father and The Son)
"Your throne, O GOD, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of Your Kingdom.
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore GOD, your GOD, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy."-Psalm 45:5-7.
"Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."-Psalm 110:1
In Isaiah
"Surely He took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered Him stricken by God,
smitten by Him, and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all."-Isaiah 53:4-6.
