There is but one living and true God, everlasting, without body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness; the maker and preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead there are three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
- God lives, meaning he is alive, meaning that God is not a concept or an idea.
- God is everlasting, meaning God is forever, meaning God does not die, decay or deteriorate.
- God is true, meaning that it is not a lie.
- God is without body or parts, meaning God cannot be split up, meaning that God is whole.
- God has infinite power, wisdom and goodness, meaning that God has the ability to do anything he wills, but this power is guided and restrained by wisdom and goodness.
- God is the maker and preserver of all things, meaning that God made everything both visible and invisible, meaning that this world cannot continue without God willing it to, meaning God has not left this world like an orphaned child, meaning all life is in his hands.
- God, in three persons, is of one substance, power, and unity, meaning the Holy Spirit cannot act apart from Christ, meaning that God can have conversations with himself, meaning God is very interesting and very powerful.
