HOW DOES THE BIBLE DESCRIBE GOD?
God is a Spirit1 and is the Creator of all things2. He alone is eternal (has always existed3) and is the self–existing one (He is complerely self–sufficient and independent of anything else for His existence4). He is loving5, all–knowing6, all–powerful7, omnipresent (present everywhere at all times8), unchanging9, holy (without sin10), just11, long–suffering12, gracious, righteous, and merciful13. He is the One True God (all other so–called gods are nothing but man–made idols) who reveals Himself in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit14.
