Introduction

Some people, called atheists, did not believe in or intentionally deny the existence of God. The Bible calls them ‘fools’ (Ps. 14:1). There are others who believe in the existence of many gods and consult with them based on peculiar needs; they are called polytheists. The Bible unequivocally teaches that there is only one God who created all things, sustains all things, and transcends all things. This is what we believe as Christians. It is worth noting that we do not worship or serve the same God as the people of other religions who also believe that there is only one “God”. Who then is our God and what makes Him unique?

OUR GOS S THE UNCREATED CREATOR

As revealed to us in the Bible, we believe that there is only one God who created Heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Our God is the creator of both the visible and invisible creatures (Col. 1:16). Our God created all living things (human, animals and plants), and non-living things (sun, moon, rivers, stars, mountains etc)- Psalm 8:3); John 1:1-3. Our God is the uncreated Creator (Col. 1:17; Psalms 90:2). In our God, every creature receives life (John 5:26; Genesis 2:7). Also, our God created and controls time and seasons (Genesis 1:14; Daniel 2:21a).

OUR GOD IS UNIQUE

The Uniqueness of our God is evident in many of His attributes. Our God is the Supreme Being and Ruler of all that is (Psalms 103:19; 115:3). He is self-existent One (Is. 45:5-6). Our God is perfect (Ps. 18:30), in holiness (Leviticus 11:44; Ex. 15:11), power (Ps. 62:11), goodness (Ex. 34:6), and wisdom (Romans 11:33) etc. Our God is everywhere -Omnipresent (Jer. 23:24), All Powerful- Omnipotent (Rev. 19:6) and All-Knowing -Omniscient (1 John 3:20). Our God is a Spirit (John 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17). Our God is all right (1 John 1:5) and glory (Ps. 19:1). Our God is Love (1 John 4:8, 16) and love us with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

The sovereignty of our God is expressed in the fact that He does whatever pleases Him (1 Chro. 29:11; Ps. 115:3). No one can query Him (Is. 29:16; 45:9). Our God is Eternal (Deut. 32:27; Romans 1:20).

CONCLUSION: Every Christian must believe and declare boldly that our God is the only one, God.
