Who is God?

Before we can talk about Jesus, we have to start where the Bible starts — with God. Not a vague spiritual force. Not a higher power. A real, personal, eternal God who made everything that exists.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1

Scripture says this God is holy — perfectly good, set apart from all evil. He is just — He never overlooks wrong. And He is love — patient, kind, and slow to anger. All of this at once, without contradiction.

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8

He is not distant. He made you on purpose, for a purpose. You are not an accident, and you are not unseen. The God who flung galaxies into place knows the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30).

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:13–14

Pause: If this God is real — if He made you, sees you, and is good — that changes everything. Sit with that for a moment before you click on.
