QUESTION:
Who is the One True God?(Out of the many gods of the different religions of the world)
ANSWER:
YHWH (יהוה)—the “I AM,” the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—is the Eternal, Self-Existent One who reveals Himself across generations, nations, and continents. He alone is the One True God, and He has ultimately made Himself known through the Lord Jesus Christ, whom He sent for the redemption of mankind.
There was a time I had to seriously ask myself: Am I truly believing in the One True God? What if everything I believed had been shaped by stories passed down—carefully crafted by others—maybe even a complete invention or fabrication of a so-called “god” that doesn’t really exist? In my search for truth, I knew I couldn’t settle for tradition or hearsay. I needed to carefully examine the facts, the truth, and the evidence that could point me to the One True God—if there truly is one.
In my search, I made sure not to put my faith in a god simply because someone told me to—especially not a stranger. If I’m going to believe, it has to be in a God who shows up, who reveals Himself, and who proves that He truly is the One True God.
And I know I’m not alone in that. Many people today aren’t chasing religion—they’re searching for truth. Not tradition, not blind faith, but something real.
And listen, that’s exactly what the God of the Bible offers. He doesn’t demand belief without reason. He reveals Himself. He speaks. He proves. He fulfills. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—active through history, across nations, and in every generation.
God Reveals Himself Through the Story of Israel
From the earliest pages of Scripture to the life of Jesus Christ, God continuously reveals Himself to people—across generations, cultures, and even continents. He is not a distant or abstract idea. He is personal, intentional, and involved. Unlike the exclusive claims of some religious leaders—like Mohammed, who claimed private, unverifiable revelations—the God of the Bible has revealed Himself openly, consistently, and historically through a people, a nation, and ultimately a Savior.
A Covenant People: God’s Promise to Abraham
It began with a promise. God chose Abraham, a man from Ur, and established a covenant with him: that he would become the father of many nations, and that through his offspring, all the families of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:1–3). This covenant wasn’t just words—it was backed by action, guidance, and miraculous intervention across generations.
Preserved Through Providence: Joseph the Dreamer
When famine threatened the future of Abraham’s descendants, God raised up Joseph, sold into slavery but elevated to power in Egypt. Through divine dreams and favor, Joseph preserved not only Egypt but his own family—the twelve tribes of Israel (Genesis 45:4–8). God revealed His sovereign hand in the midst of betrayal, injustice, and suffering, using it all for redemption.
Delivered by Judges, Guided by Prophets
As Israel grew and struggled through cycles of rebellion and oppression, God raised up judges like Gideon, Samson, and Deborah, each uniquely empowered to deliver Israel from enemies (Judges 6–16). When the nation cried out, He heard. He acted. He saved.
Later, He spoke through prophets like Samuel, Elijah, and Elisha—men who not only declared the word of the Lord but also demonstrated it through signs, miracles, and power. Elijah called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18:36–39). Elisha purified poisoned water, raised the dead, and healed Naaman the leper (2 Kings 2–5). Through them, God reminded Israel—and the world—that He is living and active.
Kings and Kingdoms: Saul, David, and the Glory of Jerusalem
Israel asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, then David, a man after His own heart. Through David, God established another covenant—that his throne would be everlasting (2 Samuel 7:12–16), a prophecy that would ultimately be fulfilled in Jesus, the Son of David (Matthew 1:1).
David’s psalms echo with the personal, real, relational voice of God—His nearness in battle, His faithfulness in the wilderness, His mercy in failure.
Under David and later Solomon, the Temple in Jerusalem was built—a physical place where God’s presence would dwell (1 Kings 8:10–11). The Ark of the Covenant, housed within, symbolized God’s holy power. When it moved, nations trembled. Even Gentile peoples, like the Philistines, feared it after experiencing its power firsthand (1 Samuel 5–6).
A Light to the Nations: Miracles Beyond Israel
God didn’t limit His self-revelation to the borders of Israel. He showed His power to Pharaoh in Egypt (Exodus 7–12), to Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon through Daniel (Daniel 4:34–37), to Nineveh through Jonah (Jonah 3), and to Naaman, the Syrian general (2 Kings 5). These stories confirm that God is not tribal. He is universal—declaring His glory to all peoples.
The Fulfillment: Jesus Christ, God in the Flesh
And yet, all of this pointed to something greater. In the fullness of time, God revealed Himself not just through prophets or kings—but in person. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came in fulfillment of centuries of prophecy. He was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), from the line of David (Jeremiah 23:5), and lived a sinless life, performing miracles that only God could do (Matthew 11:4–5; John 11:43–44).
He foretold His death (Matthew 20:18–19), and most importantly, His resurrection—the ultimate sign of His divinity (Matthew 16:21, John 2:19–22). And He fulfilled it. The resurrection is not myth or metaphor; it is history. Eyewitnesses—over 500 of them (1 Corinthians 15:3–6)—testified to seeing Him alive after the crucifixion. No other figure in history has conquered death in this way.
A God Who Reveals, Redeems, and Reigns
Through Israel’s history, through His covenant with Abraham, through His prophets and kings, and finally through Jesus Christ, God has shown us who He is. Not a man-made legend, not a distant deity, but the One True God—YHWH—faithful, powerful, just, and merciful.
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). And He is still revealing Himself today—to those who seek Him with an honest heart.
A Living Covenant and the Hope of His Return
We are not just looking back at ancient stories. We are witnessing prophecy fulfilled in our own time.
One of the greatest proofs that the God of the Bible is the One True God is found in His covenant with Abraham, and how that covenant has miraculously endured through the ages. Israel, once erased from the map for nearly 2,000 years, was reborn as a nation on May 14, 1948—just as the prophets foretold (Ezekiel 36–37; Isaiah 66:8). This wasn’t just a political event—it was a divine act of restoration that no other people group in history has experienced.
And even now, we’re watching more prophetic pieces fall into place. Preparations for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem are already underway, a significant milestone that aligns with end-time prophecies and points to the very soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:1–4; Matthew 24:15).
Conclusion: A Personal Invitation to Know the One True God
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about facts, signs, or even fulfilled prophecies—it’s about knowing the living God. Not knowing about Him. But truly knowing Him. And according to the Lord Jesus Christ, this is what eternal life is all about:
“Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” – John 17:3
That invitation is open to you.
The God of the Bible—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—is not a distant concept or a religious tradition. He is the One True God who revealed Himself in history, spoke through prophets, moved through nations, and ultimately came to us in the person of Jesus Christ.
He did not leave us guessing. His revelations came with tangible signs, fulfilled promises, and real encounters. Those who waited for the Messiah—like Simeon and Anna in the temple (Luke 2:25–38)—personally saw Him, held Him, and rejoiced in the presence of “Immanuel,” God with us (Matthew 1:23).
If you’ve ever wondered who God really is… if you’ve ever questioned the noise of religion or the claims of different faiths… then start here. Seek the God who reveals Himself. Look at His Word. Trace His faithfulness through generations. Ask Him to make Himself known to you.
Because He will.
And in finding Him, you’ll discover what you were made for—not just to believe, but to truly know the One who created you and loves you.
