The GodheadThere is only one God: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all,
and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His
self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation.

Knowledge of God
To many, God’s wisdom is a “hidden wisdom” (1 Cor 2:7,8)
Can God Be Known? The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself
and His purpose to man. God manifested His greatest love by
His Revelation through the Son. (1 John 5:20)

Obtaining a Knowledge of God The knowledge of God is as much a
matter of the heart as it is of the brain. There must be an openness to do
God’s will.

Conclusion The only true God is the God of the cross.
Christ unveiled to the universe the Godhead’s infinite love and saving power; He revealed a triune God who was willing to go through the agony of separation because of unconditional love for a rebel planet. From this cross God proclaims His loving invitation to us: Be reconciled, “and the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7)
