God Is (Trinity)

God is. He exists. He is the only self-existing one with no beginning or end. He is the eternal source, creator, sustainer and sovereign ruler of all life. He is one divine nature (being; essence) in three person unity (trinity): the Father, Son and Spirit. He is perfect with no wrong, sin or evil found in him or from him. Evil is descriptive of anything or anyone separated from and lacking relationship to God. God is holy, completely separate and distinct from all else. God is described with countless more characteristics and attributes including good, loving, truthful, just, supreme and glorious.

Genesis 1:1, 26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17 and 28:19; Jude 20-21

God Creates (Creation)

God created the entire universe and world by his spoken word, will and design for his pleasure, good and glory. God used six days to create by his power, process and pattern. God designed mankind to be in his image, likeness or similarities. God's design for mankind include being spiritual, relational, physical and emotional in order to enjoy him, his creation and one another.

Through the first five days of creation from space, galaxies, stars, sun, moon and planets to the earth's oceans, land, animals, insects and so on, God intended mankind to learn of his greatness, grandeur and glory. On the sixth day, God created the first human, a man he named Adam. God commanded Adam to manage and work the created world, and within this God created the first woman, named Eve, to be his helper and wife. God intended their names to reveal the beginnings of mankind as Adam, means from the earth or dirt, and Eve means the mother of all living.

Humanity lives in God's constant reminder of who he is, his creative power and his purpose for the world to trust him.

Genesis 1-2; 1 Timothy 2:13; Hebrews 1:3 and 11:3

God Rules (Supremacy, Sovereignty and Providence)

God reigns and rules over (supremacy; sovereignty) as well as guides and engages (providence) his creation, knowing from beginning to end -- everything and everyone. He sees and knows all, and he acts upon his own desires, character, attributes, purposes and plans. Nothing or no one directs or redirects him, though he listens and loves as the greatest one to exist and rule. All nations are to hear, trust and follow him. His creation, including mankind, learn to humbly submit to, fear (awe) and follow him.
