In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth... Genesis 1:1

---

Synopsis: God is the central being. He created the earth and he created man in his own image. God is full of mercy and love. Millions of people in the world confess God as their Lord and saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God stands ready to come into any person's life when that person confesses him and repent - this is when you are born again.
