What we believe and teach - God - |
|
There is
one God, whose name is YHWH (Yahweh), which means ‘I am who I am’. He is the
first and the last, and apart from Him there is no God. God is a living and
intelligent Being, with a will, reasoning ability, and emotions. God is spirit, no one has ever seen God or can see Him. He is the
Everlasting because He had no beginning and He will have no ending. He
inhabits eternity. God is holy, righteous, wise, good, slow
to anger, merciful, faithful and truthful. God is love. In this the love of
God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through Him. |

God is the
Creator of all things. He created them through His beloved Son, and for Him.
In wisdom God made them all and He upholds them by the word of His power. He
is the Ruler of the universe, and nothing happens in the whole universe apart
from His will. The heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them
were made by God in six days (one day = 24 hours). We reject the evolution
theory and the gap-theory. God is Omnipotent because He can do anything. He
is Omniscient because He knows all things; and He is Omnipresent because He
is everywhere, even though His throne is in heaven. Furthermore, God is
unchanging: He has always been the same, and He will be always the same. |
