Christians believe in a monotheistic conception of God, which is both transcendent (wholly independent of, and removed from, the material universe) and immanent (involved in the material universe)
. Some key beliefs about God in Christianity include:
- God as the Creator and Preserver : Christians believe that God is the eternal, supreme being who created and preserves all things
- Trinity : Christians believe in the tripartite nature of God, consisting of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit
- Loving, Omniscient, and Omnipotent : Christians generally believe that God is loving, omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipotent (all-powerful)
- Biblical God : Many Christians believe in the God as described in the Bible, with 8-in-ten self-identified Christians saying they believe in the God of the Bible
- Personal Relationship with God : Christians often believe in a personal relationship with God and consider God to be loving, forgiving, and guiding in their lives
However, there are differences in the way various Christian subgroups perceive God. For example, some Christians may focus more on God's love and mercy, while others may emphasize God's judgment and authority
. Despite these differences, the core beliefs about God in Christianity remain consistent across various denominations and traditions.
