Who Is God?

Most people have their own distinctive opinions of a Supreme Being. But where do these impressions come from? Many are simply reflections of how people perceive God. As a consequence the word God has come to embody a spectrum of meanings, many of them quite foreign to the Bible. But which meaning is the true one? How does the Creator reveal Himself to man? The answer is, of course, a matter of debate. But we will state unequivocally here that the principal way God reveals Himself is through His Word, the Bible. The Bible is a book about God and His relationship with human beings. The Scriptures contain a long history of God’s revelation of Himself to man—from the first man Adam to the prophet and lawgiver Moses down through the apostles of Jesus and the early Church.
