God
GOD:
We believe there is only one true and living God Who is perfect, personal, and infinite. From all eternity6
He exists eternally as the One7
Living8and True9God in three distinct Persons10, the Holy Trinity, the unity of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit: equal in power and glory11.
The Person, God, is an infinite12, unchangeable13
Spirit14, perfect15
in holiness16, wisdom17, goodness18, justice19, power20
and love21. His kingdom is everlasting22. He orders and disposes all things according to His own purpose and grace. He is sovereign in providence and redemption23. 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 Word24. He is Immutable25, Omnipotent26, Omnipresent27, and Omniscient28.
