God is the triune Supreme Being, the sovereign Creator and Ruler of the universe, the principal Object of the Christian faith. "From the biblical viewpoint it is generally agreed that it is impossible to give a strict definition of the idea of God," (Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, p. 501). This is because using finite language to define an infinite God quickly proves inadequate. __TOC__

  • God is the triune Supreme Being, the sovereign Creator and Ruler of the universe, the principal Object of the Christian faith. "From the biblical viewpoint it is generally agreed that it is impossible to give a strict definition of the idea of God," (Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, p. 501). This is because using finite language to define an infinite God quickly proves inadequate. Attempts have been made, however, to give a definition for Who and What God is. Anselm said that God is "that than which nothing greater is conceivable" and that he is "the supreme Being." Yet, this does not begin to encompass what God has revealed of himself in the Bible regarding his existence, nature, character, purposes, and most significantly in the person of Jesus Christ. The study of God is theology. "I AM who I AM." - Exodus 3:14 "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us..." - Acts 17:24-27 __TOC__
