In Christianity, God is the eternal being who created the universe and all there is. God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justice (fair, right, and true in all his judgments), omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence, omnipresence and immortality (eternal and everlasting). The Bible never speaks of God in an impersonal sense. Instead, it refers to him in personal terms—as one who is, who speaks, who sees, hears, acts, and loves. God is understood to be a personal God, with a will and personality. He is represented in Scripture as being primarily concerned with people.

  • In Christianity, God is the eternal being who created the universe and all there is. God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justice (fair, right, and true in all his judgments), omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence, omnipresence and immortality (eternal and everlasting). The Bible never speaks of God in an impersonal sense. Instead, it refers to him in personal terms—as one who is, who speaks, who sees, hears, acts, and loves. God is understood to be a personal God, with a will and personality. He is represented in Scripture as being primarily concerned with people. He is believed to be transcendent, meaning that he is outside space and outside time, and therefore eternal and unable to be changed by earthly forces or anything else within his creation. Although all Christian groups believe that they worship the same God, some have differing beliefs about his nature. A 2006 Harris Poll finds that most U.S. adults believe in God. Fifty-eight percent say they are "Absolutely Certain" there is a God. Fifteen percent are "somewhat certain," 11 percent think there is probably no God and 16 percent are not sure.
