The One True God revealed in Scripture is Covenant Lord over all creation (Isa. 57:15; Ps. 113:5-6; Luke 1:48-49). This God is knowable because he has made himself known. His eternal power and divine nature have been shown to his creation through his creation (Ps. 19:1-6; Rom. 1:19-20).

God is entirely self-existent and completely self-sufficient and is in no way dependent on anything or anyone (Ps. 50:7-15; Isa. 40:12-17; Acts 17:24-25). He does not lack anything nor does he change in the sense of developing or improving. What he is now is what he has always been and will always be.

God is personal (Gen. 3:8-9; Exod. 33:11; Luke 3:22). He is not simply a force or power in the universe, but a person with a will, who thinks, feels, and speaks. He interacts with his creation, particularly with humans, and by his initiative has relationship with them.

The Scriptures reveal God as both transcendent and immanent. His transcendence, which is related to his Lordship, speaks of his independence from his creation (Ps. 145:3; Isa. 6:1-5, 55:8-9; John 8:23). His immanence, which is related to his covenant nature, speaks of his presence and involvement with his creation (Jer. 23:24; Ps. 139:7-12, 145:18; Acts 17:27-28). Thus, God is both distant and near; he is both separate and intimate.

Triune Nature
The One True God is one, meaning he is whole and indivisible in essence (Deut. 6:4; Isa. 45:5-6; Rom. 3:30). This God has revealed himself in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 2:18; 2 Cor. 13:14). These three persons are God and are equally eternal, powerful, and glorious (Isa. 6:8; 1 Tim. 2:5; John 1:1-3; Acts 5:1-4). They are distinct in their persons and in their functions (economical), yet of the same essence (ontological).
