The Triune God
| To the next statement: God the Father |
God, by the testimony of Scripture, is one divine Being
in three eternal, co-essential, yet distinct Persons – Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. He is the one true God, eternal, immutable, omnipotent,
omniscient, and omnipresent. He is Creator of heaven and earth, Sustainer
of the universe, and Source of human salvation. Though transcendent, God
is directly and personally involved with human beings. God is love and
infinite goodness.
