We believe that the one true God is eternal, infinite, and perfect in all His attributes (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 5:48). He is Spirit (John 4:24), uncreated and self-existent, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. By His power He made the heavens and the earth, and by His will all things continue to exist (Genesis 1:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Colossians 1:17; Revelation 4:11). God rules sovereignly over His creation, accomplishing all His purposes according to His perfect wisdom and will (Psalm 103:19; Daniel 4:35).
God is unchanging in His nature and faithful in all His promises (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17; 2 Timothy 2:13). Everything He does is good, righteous, and true (Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalm 145:17). Because He is all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly wise, and present everywhere, nothing can hinder His plans or frustrate His purposes (Jeremiah 32:17; Psalm 147:5; Romans 11:33; Psalm 139:7–10).
God is perfectly holy and righteous in all His ways (Isaiah 6:3; Psalm 97:2). His judgments are always true and just, and He shows no partiality (Deuteronomy 10:17; Romans 2:11; Revelation 15:3). Because God is holy, He must judge sin. His wrath is presently revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). Though He is patient and slow to anger (Exodus 34:6; 2 Peter 3:9), His justice will not be compromised. Those who remain unrepentant and reject His truth remain under condemnation and will face eternal judgment (John 3:36; Romans 2:5; Revelation 20:11–15). God’s wrath is not arbitrary or vindictive, but the righteous expression of His holy justice against sin (Nahum 1:2–3; Psalm 5:4–6).
At the same time, God is rich in mercy and abounding in steadfast love (Psalm 103:13–14; Lamentations 3:22–23). He compassionately concerns Himself with the needs of His creatures, hearing and answering prayer according to His will (Psalm 34:17; 1 John 5:14–15). In His great love He provides salvation from sin and death through Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4–9). All who turn to Him in faith receive forgiveness, new life, and the gift of eternal life. His mercy is abundant and everlasting toward all who call upon Him (Micah 7:18; Titus 3:5).
