Hello Deborah, I am very interested to know your definition of the word “God”.
I was emailed this question above so decided to write an article for you all to read.
First of all, my definition of “God” is not actually relevant. What is important is what God is, not what I think He is.
I believe in the God of the Holy Bible. I believe that the Bible is God’s word and so what the Bible says about God is what we need to look at. If we do not look at what the Bible says then we may start inventing what we want God to be like, and form God in our own image, breaking the second Commandment.
So what does the Bible say about God?
I am only going to pick out the main attributes of God. I could spend hours, and write a whole book about who, what, where, why, when, and which God, but for now I have chosen a few important ones. There are also so many different verses that I could take, so again I have just chosen a few.
God is One God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (The Trinity)
1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
God is Creator
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Colossians 1: 16 “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, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
