Genesis 1:26 Help! Who is us?

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "26 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,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

I am confused, who is us? Was it God and his angels? Was it God and his son Jesus? What are your thoughts?"

The triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit):

"...[A]...clear indication of the triunity of God (cf. 3:22; 11:7). The very name of God, Elohim (1:1), is a plural form of El. man. The crowning point of creation, a living human, was made in God’s image to rule creation. Our image. This defined man’s unique relation to God. Man is a living being capable of embodying God’s communicable attributes (cf. 9:6; Rom. 8:29; Col. 3:10; James 3:9). In his rational life, he was like God in that he could reason and had intellect, will, and emotion. In the moral sense, he was like God because he was good and sinless." MacArthur, John Jr: The MacArthur Study Bible. electronic ed. Nashville : Word Pub., 1997, c1997, S. Ge 1:26

God is not a stone cold idol (Enyart). He is a personal God.

"When God created us, He made us like Himself; therefore we have the capacity for close, personal fellowship with Him." Stanley, Charles F.: The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Bible : New King James Version. Nashville, TN : Nelson Bibles, 2005, S. Ge 1:26
