God is a triune being created by humans to answer the question of how we exist. Much like many cultures (Norse, Egyptian, Ancient Greek, Roman), the Christian god stems from a human desire to explain why events happen. As society, education and technology have progressed, more explanations have been found for these events - many of these contradicting the beliefs people have in God. The one question remains however, how did we get here? The [[Big Bang]] is an explanation which has been rejected by the Christian community at large, as the theory of "something from nothing" therefore requires God exist. But then, who created God?
God is a triune being. Though there is only one Divine nature there are three Divine Personages: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three Persons are collectively called the [[Trinity]] or the Holy Trinity. While God is tripartite, this does not imply that Christians are polytheists. The doctrine of the Trinity is central to Christian theology, although several denominations that usually are considered Christian are non-Trinitarian. The God of the Christian is the creator of all things, is everywhere present, exists in all times, is transcendent, all-knowing (omniscient), just, and all-powerful (omnipotent).
A major theme of the Bible is [[love]]. In the Hebrew [[Old Testament]] the idea is expressed in the Hebrew word ''hessed'', which is variously translated as loyal love, tender mercy, steadfast love, mercy, goodness, etc. in the [[New Testament]] the same idea is expressed in the Greek word ''agape'', which is variously translated as love, compassion, charity, etc.
