God exists; and is the only living and true God, the Supreme Being and Maker of the Universe;
who deserves our worship (Gen. 1:1, Acts 17:23-29; 1 Thess. 1:9; Rev. 22:9). The Scriptures
and all believers affirm belief in the existence of the One True God, Elohim, maker of the
whole universe; indefinable but revealed as the Triune Godhead - the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1, 26; Matt. 3:16, 17; 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14);
One in Being – Self-sufficient, Self-conscious, Self-determined and Self-existent (Ex. 3:13,
14), Life (Jn. 5:26) and Light (1 Jn. 1:5);
One in Nature– Infinite Spirit (Jn. 4:23-24) and yet Personal (Ps. 94:9, 10);
One in Essence or Form – One indivisible Godhead in three co-equal co-eternal Divine
Persons (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19); One in all Attributes:
a) Essential Attributes - Omnipotent (Deut. 6:4; Job 42:2; Is. 46:9, 10; Rev. 19:6),
Omnipresent (Ps. 139:7-12; 147:5), Omniscient (Job 42:2; Is. 46:9, 10; Acts 5:4, 5), Immutable
(Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; Js. 1:17), Eternal (Ex. 3:14; Deut. 33:27; Ps. 90:2),
b) Non-Essential or communicable Moral Attributes - Perfect Holiness (Lev. 19:2; 11:44-
45; Is. 6:3; 1 Pet. 1:16), Perfect Righteousness (Gen. 18:25; Deut. 32:4; 2 Tim. 4:8), Perfect
Love (Deut. 7:6-8; Jer. 31:1-12; Jn. 3:16; Rom. 5:5-6; 2 Cor. 13:11; 1 Jn. 4:7, 8; 17-21),
Perfect Faithfulness (Num. 23:19; 1 Sam. 15:29; Ps. 138:2; Lam. 3:23; 1 Cor. 1:9; 1 Thess.
5:24; 2 Thess. 3:3; 2 Tim. 2:13; Tit. 1:2); and other derived aspects of these Moral
Attributes
