| + | God is the central being of all existence. He is eternal in that he has no beginning and no end. In the [[Genesis 1|first chapter of the first book]] of [[Bible]] an account is given of God creating the universe and the earth and creating people in his own image. The Bible also reveals that God is full of [[God is forgiving|mercy]] and [[God is love|love]] (for example [[1 John 4:8]]. Millions of people in the world trust in God as their master and Lord and also their saviour. He is a personal being, who is three in one - [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus Christ|Son]] and [[Holy Spirit]]. The Bible also reveals that God stands ready to come into any person's life when that person acknowledges him and repents of having not lived his way. |

Although impossible to fully grasp, the Bible reveals that there is one and only one God, and also that the [[God the Father|Father]] is God, and yet [[Jesus]] the Son is God, and also the [[Holy Spirit]] is God. That is, there is one God who eternally exists in three distinct persons. |

− | ACT 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the
| |
− | | |
− | face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the
| |
− | | |
− | bounds of their habitation;
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | ACT 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of
| |
− | | |
− | your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | ROM 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
| |
− | | |
− | clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
| |
− | | |
− | power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | ROM 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be
| |
− | | |
− | glory for ever. Amen.

− | 1CO 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and

| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 1CO 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it
| |
− | | |
− | hath pleased him.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 1CO 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body
| |
− | | |
− | together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 1CO 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members
| |
− | | |
− | should have the same care one for another.

− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 1CO 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed
| |
− | | |
− | his own body.

− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 2CO 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined
| |
− | | |
− | in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
| |
− | | |
− | face of Jesus Christ.

− | | |
− | | |
− | 2CO 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also
| |
− | | |
− | hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 2CO 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
| |
− | | |
− | Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | EPH 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which
| |
− | | |
− | from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by
| |
− | | |
− | Jesus Christ:
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | 1TI 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and
| |
− | | |
− | before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto
| |
− | | |
− | the fathers by the prophets,
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath
| |
− | | |
− | appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
| |
− | | |
− | things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
| |
− | | |
− | perfect through sufferings.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is
| |
− | | |
− | God.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
| |
− | | |
− | God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
| |
− | | |
− | maker is God.
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | | |
− | HEB 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and
| |
− | | |
− | we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the
| |
− | | |
− | Father of spirits, and live?
| |

− | | |
− | keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

− | the sea, and the fountains of waters.
