Who is God?
God is the eternal, all-powerful Creator of everything, who is holy, loving, and personal. The Bible reveals him as one God who exists in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and who made us to know him.
The Bible never argues for God’s existence; it opens by assuming it: ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1). He is eternal and self-existent, the source of all life, not made by anyone. When Moses asked his name, God answered, ‘I AM WHO I AM’ (Exodus 3:14) — the One who simply is.
God is described as holy, just, and all-powerful, yet also near and deeply loving. ‘God is love’ (1 John 4:8), and he is ‘compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love’ (Exodus 34:6). He is not a distant force but a personal God who speaks, acts, and relates to people.
Christians believe this one God exists eternally as three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Above all, the Bible says God made us to know him, and that we see him most clearly in Jesus, who is ‘the image of the invisible God’ (Colossians 1:15).
