Who is the One True God? We're going to answer that question. You can also discover more on GotQuestions .org.

00:09

This is a profoundly important question. Because we live in a world with many competing truth claims and many so -called gods, the identity of the

00:19

One True God matters. The One True God is distinguished from all the false gods that have been foisted upon mankind by evil spirits and deluded men.

00:30

Gods that are fashioned by the imaginations and hands of men are absolutely worthless.

00:36

But the One True God is full of glory, grace, and truth. The Bible says that the

00:42

One True God is the sovereign, self -existent creator of the universe. He is spirit, he is eternal, and he is personal.

00:50

The One True God possesses all knowledge and all power, is present in all places, and is unchanging.

00:58

There are many false gods. Hinduism alone supposedly recognizes as many as 330 million gods, but none of them possess the attributes of the

01:09

One True God. The Bible gives many attributes of God. Any God that is not just loving, truthful, holy, compassionate, merciful, gracious, and forgiving is not the

01:22

One True God. The One True God exists in triunity. The Bible speaks of the three divine persons who share the same nature and essence in one

01:33

God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three in one. This characteristic of the

01:40

One True God separates him from all other gods of monotheistic religions.

01:45

Islam, for example, teaches one god, Allah, but it is a false god since Allah is not triune.

01:53

Any concept of God that excludes Jesus Christ is faulty. As scripture says, no one who denies the

02:00

Son has the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. The One True God wants to be known.

02:08

He has revealed his power and glory in creation. He revealed himself to Abram in Mesopotamia, calling him to a new life of faith and making him a new nation.

02:19

The One True God later identified himself as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the

02:25

God of Jacob, and revealed himself to Moses in Midian. Using Moses, the

02:30

One True God began to reveal himself more clearly through his written word. And finally, the

02:35

One True God has given us the ultimate revelation of himself in the Lord Jesus. In the past,

02:42

God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways.

02:47

But in these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. Jesus is the exact representation of God's being.

02:56

Jesus is the word of God made flesh, who made his dwelling among us.

03:02

We all have a choice of whom to worship. Joshua told the Israelites it was time for them to choose the

03:08

One True God over the gods of the Amorites. Elijah told the people on top of Mount Carmel that they could no longer stay ambivalent concerning God.

03:17

How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is

03:23

God, follow him. Today, people worship some of the same pagan gods mentioned in the

03:28

Old Testament. Or they worship more recent false gods. Or they worship themselves. But the worship of false deities leads only to death in the end.

03:38

This is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

03:46

May we be like Ruth, who chose the One True God over the idols of Moab.
