Synopsis
Who is God?
Being at once the ultimate reality and the supreme creator, the one and only God is, as it were, the ultimate end and goal of everything. He is also, however, the cause of our being and thus our ultimate end and goal too. While all is good, including God, however, there are also the evil forces which cause the suffering and hence the suffering of all creation, including ourselves. These evil forces are thus the cause of our sinfulness and are commonly referred to as Satan and his demons. In His divine self-revelation, God reveals that He was present throughout history in the person of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Son of God. The incarnation of God and His Son is sufficient to redeem us from sin and death.
Jesus Christ makes known that the first commandment which all humanity is called to obey is the commandment to love God with one's whole being and with one's entire strength. This commandment is closely connected with the principle of divine love which resides in God's nature as well as in His Son. It is closely connected also with the principle of holiness which governs human nature. God's nature is holy and this holiness can be set in contrast to the unholy, thus evil, nature of Satan and his demons. These demons are referred to as spirits and are distinct from angels. They are by no means spiritual beings, angels being spiritual beings.
The author teaches that the worship of the one and only God by true believers is a worship of Him as the one and only God as well as of Him as the supreme cause of all that is good and of all that is evil. The worship of God, which is the worship of the one and only God, is therefore the worship of God as the supremely loving, good, and holy One, who is the ultimate end of our being as well as the ultimate goal of all things and all people.
The author stresses that the worship of the one and only God, who is the ultimate end and goal of all creation, can be truly understood in two ways. On the one hand, God is simply the end and goal of all things and of all life, without taking into consideration anything else in Him. The believer is only a creature, and God is not only the one and only God but also the one and only God as Creator of all
