The One True God

• There is one living and true God who is personal and spiritual.
• God created the universe and continues to uphold His creation.
• He is all-powerful and knows all things, including the future.
• God is perfectly good and just.
• He is worthy of our love, worship, and obedience.

One God in Three Persons

• God is one being who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• Each person of the Trinity is distinct while remaining fully God.
• The Father, Son, and Spirit are co-equal and co-eternal.
• The Trinity reminds us that God is beyond our full understanding, yet He chooses to be near and personal.

God the Father and God the Son

• God the Father rules over creation and carries out His purposes with perfect care.
• Through Christ, believers are adopted and can relate to God as their perfect Father.
• Jesus is the eternal Son of God who became fully human while remaining fully God.
• He lived without sin and died as the perfect substitute for sinners.
• Jesus rose from the dead and now serves as the mediator between God and man.

God the Holy Spirit

• The Holy Spirit is fully God and is a person, not an impersonal force.
• He inspired Scripture and helps believers understand God’s truth.
• The Spirit convicts people of sin and brings new life at salvation.
• Every believer receives the Holy Spirit fully at the moment of salvation.
• He produces Christlike character and empowers believers to obey God.

Knowing the True God

• Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
• Works do not save us, but salvation produces a life of obedience.
• The Christian life depends on the Spirit’s power rather than our own ability.
• Getting the identity of Jesus right matters because salvation is found in the true Jesus alone.
• Believers should know the truth well so they are not led astray.
