Is There Only One True God?

There is one, and only one, living and true God. This God eternally exists as three distinct persons who are coequal and coeternal: God the Father, God the Son—Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. Though God exists as three persons, equal in power and glory, he is one God, Yahweh, the Creator and Causer of all things.

This God alone is worthy of worship, love, and service, for he alone is eternal, infinite, living, and true. God can be truly known, and salvation can be received, only through Jesus Christ, who is the sole mediator between God and man. This saving knowledge comes by the work and power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, no one truly worships God unless they worship Jesus Christ. Any claim to worship God that does not embrace, trust, obey, and submit to Jesus as he is revealed in Scripture is false.

The one true God is distinct from all so-called gods of other religions. God himself declares, “I am Yahweh, and there is no other; besides me there is no God” (Isa. 45:5). There is no shared god to whom all religions lead, nor one god who merely appears in different forms across religions. Any god other than the God of the Bible is a false god. Such false gods are not empty ideas, but real supernatural, demonic enemies who oppose and hate the one true God (1 Cor. 10:19–20).

Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: "I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god." (Isaiah 44:6).
