"And being fully persuaded, that what He had Promised, He was also able to perform. Therefore, Abraham staggered not at the Promises of God through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving Glory to God." Romans 4: 21,20.
Abraham worshipped and reverenced, whom I have come to call, "the Invisible God Who Speaks" and was mighty in that faith to believe in the One, Whom he could not see. Yet being moved by what he was convinced to be the Spirit of the Living God through the revelation of His Word.
For centuries, most have paid more attention to things that have been created by the hand of man, such as lifeless statues, pictures and inanimate stone carvings, while ignoring the true God—the One who is actually alive.

For centuries, most have paid more attention to things that have been created by the hand of man, such as lifeless statues, pictures and inanimate stone carvings, while ignoring the true God—the One who is actually alive.
To understand the true God, it is necessary to examine His characteristics, starting at the beginning of the book He inspired—the Bible. The following section is filled with Bible references to fully paint the correct picture of God.
Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Recognize that everything in the entire universe was created by God. This includes even those things that are invisible, such as gravity, magnetism, time and space. Colossians 1:16-17 states, “For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him...”
Because God is a Spirit (John 4:24), He is not confined to physical boundaries. This does not mean He is a blob that permeates the universe, coequal with His creation. As no human being is amorphous, neither is God. Genesis 1:26 states that, humans were created in God’s image and likeness. In fact, God has features just as humans do (Rev. 1:14-16; Ezek. 1:26-28).
As Creator of time and space, God is also eternal. In Exodus 3:14, God revealed Himself to Moses as “I AM,” which means ever-living, existent one. God has no beginning or end of life (Heb. 7:3). He has always existed (Rev. 1:8).
God is the most dynamic of all beings. The Bible reveals God’s true qualities—His character—as holy and perfect (Matt. 5:48). Later in His Word, God is described not only as having love, but also as being love (I John 4:8, 16).
The Creator ponders each and every situation and decides the absolute best way in which to act. He is wonderful, mighty and fair (Isa. 9:6; 45:21), as well as comforting, merciful, faithful and forgiving (II Cor. 1:3; I John 1:9).
Some people have the misconception that the Old Testament God is harsh and authoritative, while the God of the New Testament is benevolent and merciful. This idea divides professing Christians, leaving most to form their own opinions. According to the Bible, however, this assumption is false. Malachi 3:6 states, “For I am the Lord, I change not…”
In actuality, the One who became Christ is the God of the Old Testament, who created all things! “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (I Cor. 10:4; Psa. 18:1-2).
Although there is only one true God, the Bible reveals that God is actually a family, currently composed of two members: Father and Son.
Notice what God said in Genesis: “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness…” (1:26). In this verse, the pronouns “Us” and “Our” are used in direct reference to the original collective Hebrew noun for God, Elohim.
Further, John 1 states, “In the beginning was the Word [meaning “Spokesman” in Greek] and the Word was with God [the Father], and the Word was God…And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” (vs. 1, 14). The Word, who later became Jesus Christ, was in the God Family with the Father before the creation of time.
This truth is contrary to the common belief that God is a three-in-one being, composed of the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit—a doctrine the Bible simply does not teach.
In fact, throughout Scripture, no mention is made of a supposed third God-being. Notice: “…there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him” (I Cor. 8:6).
The Godhead currently consists of two distinct beings, not some mysterious and strange three-in-one enigma as the trinity doctrine purports. When understood in its entirety, the trinity doctrine limits God and His ultimate purpose for mankind!
