The Godhead
We believe that there is only one true God (Deut. 6:4
; Isa. 45:21-22
); eternally existing (Exod. 3:14; Jer. 10:10
) in three persons of one substance, power, and eternity (Matt. 28:19
; II Cor. 13:14
): Father (John 4:23-24
), Son (John 1:1-14
; Rom. 9:5
), and Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4
). These three are the same in essence though distinct in personality, responsibility, and function, equal in every divine perfection and attribute (Phil. 2:6
; Heb. 9:14
), and working harmoniously to accomplish the manifold acts and purposes of God (John 14:26, 15
:26, 17:3).
