There is one and only one living true God. God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all wise. God is Father in truth to those who become His children through faith in His Son Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:1; 2:7; Exodus 3:14, 6:2-3; I Chronicles 29:10; Psalm 19:1-3; Matthew 6:9-10; John 4:24, 5:26; Romans 8:14-15; I Corinthians 8:6)
