The question "Who is God?" has been a central concern for humanity across various cultures and epochs. But what is “God”? In its simplest form, the term "God" refers to a supreme being or ultimate reality that transcends human understanding and is often associated with the creation and governance of the universe. In the Bible, God's identity unfolds through a series of narratives, commandments, and prophecies, revealing a complex and multi-faceted character. In Judaism, the understanding of God is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures (Tanakh) and elaborated upon through rabbinic literature and philosophical writings. Christianity builds upon the Judaic conception of God, introducing the doctrine of the Trinity, which presents God as one essence in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But let's break things down and see what the biblical teachings have to say about the nature of God.
