According to Christian teaching, God is the creator of the universe.  Christianity has understood since about the fourth century that God is a trinity comprised of the [[Father]], the [[Jesus Christ|Son]], and the [[Holy Spirit]].  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.

Common powers attributed to the Christian God include [[omnipotence]] (the ability to do anything), [[omniscience]] (the ability to know anything), and [[omnipresence]] (the ability to be everywhere at once). Many believers in this God also believe that he eternally punishes the wicked in [[hell]] and eternally rewards the righteous in [[heaven]]. While God is said to be unique, the Old Testament in fact mentions 'other gods' constantly.

It is claimed that [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and [[Judaism]] worship the same God in different ways. This claim is regarded by some as a way to convert Jews and Christians to Islam, since it supports the idea that Abrahamic religion has "grown" from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.<ref>http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm</ref> However, many are skeptical of this idea.<ref>http://www.letusreason.org/Islam6.htm</ref>
