There is one true God

There is one supreme God, God of this universe, all creations and who is the God 

1. There is one true God

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”
— Deuteronomy 6:4

The Bible does not teach that there are many gods governing different nations. It declares one God who created everything.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
— Genesis 1:1

2. God is the Creator, not part of creation

The universe did not create God. God created the universe.

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible…”
— Colossians 1:16

Therefore, according to Scripture, Bible the true God is not a human invention, an idol, a force of nature, or a created being. He is the Creator of all things.

3. God has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ

The central Christian claim is that God has made Himself known through His Son, Jesus Christ.

“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son… he hath declared him.”
— John 1:18

Jesus said:

“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
— John 14:9

And John 14:6 says:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Thus, Christianity does not merely claim that Jesus is one religious teacher among many. It claims that Jesus Christ is the unique revelation of God and the way to the Father.

4. What about people who worship according to their culture?

This is an important distinction. A person may sincerely worship what he or she has been taught from childhood, but sincerity itself does not determine whether the object of worship is the true God.

Paul describes humanity’s problem this way:

“They changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man…”
— Romans 1:23

At the same time, the Bible says that God has given humanity evidence of Himself through creation:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
— Psalm 19:1

So the biblical question is not simply, “What religion was I born into?” but “Who is the true God, and what has He revealed about Himself?”

5. The Bible’s answer is very clear

The God of the Bible is:

• The Creator — Genesis 1:1
• Eternal — Psalm 90:2
• Almighty — Genesis 17:1
• Holy — Isaiah 6:3
• Spirit — John 4:24
• One God — Deuteronomy 6:4
• The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — Matthew 28:19
• The God who became known to humanity through Jesus Christ — John 1:1, 14
• The only true God — John 17:3
• The Savior of the world through Jesus Christ — 1 John 4:14

The central biblical conclusion

There is one God, the Creator of heaven and earth. He is not defined by human religion or culture. He has revealed Himself in Scripture and supremely in Jesus Christ.

That is why Peter proclaimed:

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12
