God is the creator of the universe. Christianity has understood that God is a trinity comprised of three distinct persons in the [[Father]], the [[Jesus Christ|Son]], and the [[Holy Spirit]], all with a single essence, namely God. His [[creation]] of man is described in the [[Book of Genesis]] in the [[Bible]]. It is written in the Bible that a belief in God (specifically, belief in [[Jesus Christ]] as one's personal lord and savior) is a necessary condition to go to [[heaven]] (rather than [[hell]]) in the afterlife.
Attributes of the biblical God include [[omnipotence]] (the ability to do anything), [[omniscience]] (knowing everything), and [[omnipresence]] (everywhere present at once). Many believers in this God also believe that he eternally punishes the wicked in [[hell]] and eternally rewards the righteous in [[heaven]].
