Who is God?

God is the glorious creator of the universe, the only God.  There is no one else like Him.  For us as Christians, God may also be described as our Father, redeemer, saviour, shepherd, teacher, comforter, refuge, deliverer, provider, and more!  We can totally trust Him to provide for all of our needs.

God has revealed Himself to us in history as a tri-unity: God, Word of God, Spirit of God.

After the Word of God became a human (in Jesus Christ of Nazareth), God became known as the "Father of our Lord Jesus Christ", with Jesus therefore being known as "the Son of God".  All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus, and He is the head of the Church.

The Spirit of God, or Holy Spirit, lives within each one of us as Christians.  He motivates and equips us to do God's will, teaches us the truth, and convicts people of their sins.
