God is One Person
The God of the Bible said: I AM THAT I AM. Mathematically, God is eternally one with respect to His person and the essence of His revelation. God is one. God said: I am that I am. Hence the 3 persons of the Trinity, the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, are not 3 Gods. Trinity is the self-revelation of God. But as the Scripture says, great is the mystery of Godliness. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. And hence the materialist man cannot understand many of the important things pertaining to the nature of God.
God is a spirit person. The substance of God person is: spirit, light, life, truth, power and love. God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (Jn 4:24). This statement means that God is totally a Spirit and only a spirit. God is immaterial (not of matter), invisible, alive and person. He is not limited by material issues or concerns. Hence God cannot be truthfully represented by any created thing or any man-made image. Hence the Bible considers the attempt to create any such project is blasphemous idolatry (Ex 4:4-6). As God is SPIRIT, He has no limitations of matter and is not limited by the material and spatial restrictions. Jesus said again after His resurrection: "A spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have" (Luke 24:39). Consequently, man is not fully a spirit while in the body. It is better to say, man has a spirit. GOD IS LOVE: God’s law of love is intertwined in universe. "He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love." (I John 4:8). "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." (I John 4:16). Love is the giving of oneself to meet the needs of another. The fact that God is love does not invalidate the law of punishment for sin. God’s holiness and justice demand that all sin must be punished. But God’s love provided a plan of redemption and salvation for the sinful people. The ultimate demonstration of how much God loves every one of us is Christ dying on the cross for us. It was the love of God that He appeared in Jesus Christ to take up the punishment of sin on the cross: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (Jn 3:16). GOD IS LIGHT: 1 Jn 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. God who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen, nor can see (1 Tim 6:16). GOD IS TRUTH: Everything that God says and does conforms perfectly to ultimate reality. God’s knowledge, declarations and representations eternally conform to reality. Everything that proceeds from God is true. Because God is true, He can be fully trusted. GOD IS LIFE: Life is inherent in God Himself. He is the sustainer of all life. He is the giver and taker of all life. He is not an idea or principle, but a living being.
THE GOD OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS ONE PERSON, NOT THREE. The major theme in the doctrine of God is oneness. The clear statement of the Bible I AM WHO IAM, sufficiently proves that God is one Person. The Bible does not say God is 3 persons or that God is not one person. Hence it is best to consider the One God as One person.
GOD OF THE BIBLE IS THE ULTIMATE IDEAL SUPER-PERSON - INFINITE INVISIBLE SPIRIT. God is one in person and substance. He is infinitely indivisible, invisible, transcendent, immanent, eternal spirit. An impartial examination of the essential attributes of God which are explicitly and directly affirmed in the Bible proves that God is one in person and substance. God is one invisible person, infinite and eternal without beginning and without end. God reveals Himself in person to man. God is the great I AM THAT I AM, who is perfect in Himself. God is love, perfect in Himself without needing anything or anyone for Him to be perfect in all things. He is able to do anything by Himself. God is the original unrevealed God person, the true invisible Godhead. This supreme God is immutable, unaffected by any of His actions such as creation or salvific redemption. But in accordance with His own sovereign plan, God can reveal Himself in diverse manners. In the like manner it is probable that God manifested Himself as the Yehowah revelation. This led to many Theophanies or God appearances including the Trinity. The eternal God is not constrained by time in any sense. He is not affected by past present future dimensions of time. Hence a working definition of the eternal infinite supernatural God who is Spirit, cannot be simple and understandable for the finite natural beings. GOD IS THE ULTIMATE PERSON. HEB 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. THUS, THE BIBLE REVEALS GOD AS A PERSON OR THE SUPER PERSON. Person is the highest and most desirable form of existence. God self-subsists as a simple supreme personal reality. Everywhere in the Bible we read: “God loves;” “God says;” “God does.” Every essential thing that we attribute to a person can be attributed to God. God feels, thinks, loves and forgives. The Bible declares that God is a holy and righteous being. IN THE GODHEAD OR IN THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON. God is numerically one person (Deut 6:41 Tim 2:5). God is a spirit. The essence, substance or basic quality of God is spirit. The Biblical term "Godhead" is used three times in the Scripture. "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device" (Acts 17:29). GODHEAD IS USED IN REFERENCE TO THE SUPREME GOD. "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Rom 1:20). Col 2:9 “In him [Christ] dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Col 1:19, “God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him [Christ].” This does not exclude fact that the Father is also fully God or the Holy Spirit (the Helper) is fully God.
