Christians and Muslims both believe in one God — eternal, creator of everything, and without equal. The difference is how God’s oneness is understood and how God has revealed himself.
In the Bible, God reveals his personal name as YHWH, often written as LORD in English translations. YHWH means God is self-existent, uncreated, and dependent on nothing. He is not a distant force, but a personal God who speaks, acts, loves, and makes himself known.
Christianity teaches that this one God is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is the Trinity — not three gods, but the one God of the Bible known in the fullness of his revelation.
This page explores who God is in Christianity, what YHWH means, why Christians call God Father, and how Christians worship Jesus while still believing in one God.
