We worship one God eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—distinct in personhood yet one in essence, will, and glory. - The Shema declares "The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4), using אֶחָד (echad)—a unity that can encompass plurality, as when "they two shall be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). As Matthew 28:19 reveals, baptism is administered "in the name" (singular τὸ ὄνομα/to onoma—not "names") of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, expressing their essential unity while acknowledging their distinct persons. God is sovereign over all creation, providence, and redemption, working all things according to the counsel of His will (Ephesians 1:11). His purposes cannot be thwarted; His decrees stand forever.
