GOD:
We believe there is only one true and living God Who
is perfect, personal, and infinite. From all eternity4
He exists eternally as the One5 Living6
and True7 God in three distinct Persons8,
the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit: equal in power and glory9. God is the first Person of the
Trinity. He is an infinite10, unchangeable11
Spirit12, perfect13
in holiness14, wisdom15,
goodness16, justice17,
power18 and love19.
His kingdom is everlasting20. He orders and
disposes all things according to His own purpose and grace. He is
sovereign in providence and redemption21.
We believe He is the awe-inspiring, sovereign Creator of the universe,
which He accomplished from no pre-existing substance, but by the
creative power of His spoken Word22. He is
Immutable23, Omnipotent24,
Omnipresent25, and Omniscient26.
