The God of the Bible presents himself as the Creator who, by his word and Spirit, created matter from “nothing,” day and night, the world, plants, animals, and humans. The Word manifested itself in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is the Word. This eternal God, who is not subject to either time or space, knows no bounds. All things are possible for him, and there is a good plan that underlies everything he has created. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one and belong together.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1

Many claims about who God is are rather absurd: an indefinable being, a policeman who watches to see that we do everything right, or a pal who puts up with everything. Our spiritual experiences impact us the most. It’s not unusual for a negative father image to play a role. Who is God really? What do you think?

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had the assignment of showing the Father to us humans. He, who is one with the Father, painted the very nature of God before our eyes. Thus, we are able to clearly understand what God is really like through the events and accounts of the New Testament. This is why we want to encourage you to start by reading the Gospel of Mark.
