Basic Truths of the Christian Faith - Truth 2

2. Who is God?

God is the eternal, infinite, uncreated Spirit, who is perfect in power, holiness and mercy, who is complete in Himself, who exists eternally as a Trinity, one God in 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who created all things.

John 4:24 (NIV)
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

Exodus 15:11 (NIV)
11 Who among the godsis like you, Lord?
majestic in holiness,awesome in glory,working wonders?

Psalm 139:1-16 (NIV)
1 You have searched me, Lord,and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongueyou, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide meand the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;the night will shine like the day,for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;your works are wonderful,I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from youwhen I was made in the secret place,when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;all the days ordained for me were written in your bookbefore one of them came to be.

Matthew 28:19 (NIV)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NIV)
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
