The one true God
What does the Bible teach about the one true God and the Trinity?
There is one God, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christians use the word Trinity to describe the unity of God and the real distinction of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
What we believe
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is fully Divine, and the three are one God.
Why do Christians believe there is one God?
Deuteronomy 6:4 is part of Israel’s confession of the Lord’s oneness. The next verse calls God’s people to love Him with heart, soul, and strength. Biblical monotheism shapes worship and everyday allegiance.
Why are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit named together?
In Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus sends His disciples to make disciples and baptize in the one name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Paul’s blessing in 2 Corinthians 13:14 brings together the grace of Christ, the love of God, and fellowship with the Holy Ghost.
Read the Scriptures in context
KJV · Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14
Put it into practice
Read Matthew 28:16–20 and notice how Jesus connects His authority, baptism, obedience, and His continuing presence.
