Nature of God

Most people believe in a Supreme Being, even though they may call Him by different names.

We know that God, our Heavenly Father, lives. He knows you and each of us and loves us all as His children.

We are commanded to love God (Matthew 22:36–38). Jesus Christ taught that we must know the only true God to have eternal life (John 17:3). As His children, we must know who He is and what He is like.

As you come to know and love God, you will find greater peace and joy, both in this life and in the life to come.

God, our Heavenly Father
