The overwhelming evidence reveals that God is one, a Family united in purpose and harmony, working to bring countless billions into itself. This oneness is reflected in the cooperative relationship between two divine Personalities, both called God, who operate as a singular Family with shared nature and mind. As Deuteronomy 6:4 declares, God is one, yet this unity encompasses distinct Beings working in complete cooperation. What a tremendous burden will be lifted from all creation when God, through grace and awesome creative power, transforms the division and conflict of man's realm into the oneness of God!

God is the foundation of all true religion, the beginning and the sum of all things. He is everything concerning who we are, what we are doing, and where we are heading. All true worship begins and ends with Him. As declared in Deuteronomy 6:4, known as the Shema, YHWH is the one and only deity that Israel knew, the singular Being who made a covenant with them and revealed Himself to Moses on the mount. The people of Israel thought of God in the singular, as YHWH, the only deity they recognized. Yet, the term Elohim, a plural noun indicating more than one Being, suggests a deeper understanding. John 1:1-3 reveals that God and the Word are two separate personal Beings, essentially equals, with Jesus Christ identifying Them as the Father and the Son. These two divine Beings, existing eternally side by side, operate in perfect harmony within a family structure, revealing Themselves to us as Father and Son. They are currently the only members of Elohim, the God Family. In Deuteronomy 6:4, when YHWH states, "The Lord our God, the Lord is one," it does not necessarily refer to a number but to a characteristic of God. The word "one" in Hebrew can mean that God is unique, singular, with no one else like YHWH, the only true God. Alternatively, it can mean that God is united, whole, of one mind and purpose. The Father and the Son think, say, and do everything in perfect harmony, acting as if They are one, though They are more than one Being. Both meanings—that God is unique and united—describe Him perfectly, reflecting His attributes. This unified and one-of-a-kind God is alone worthy of worship. As Deuteronomy 6:5 follows, we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and might, because He is the only true God, totally unified in His purpose. Our logical response is to love, obey, and follow Him in everything, showing unwavering devotion because He revealed Himself to us and chose us out of this world. This devotion applies equally to the Father and the Son, as both are part of Elohim, part of God.

For nearly sixty years, the church of God has held a steadfast belief in the nature of God, rejecting the concept of a trinity and affirming that God is not a trinity but a unified entity. The Bible clearly reveals that Elohim, often translated as God, is plural, indicating more than one being within the God family. From the very first verse of Genesis, where Elohim is used to signify "Gods" creating the heavens and the earth, to numerous references throughout Scripture, it is evident that Elohim consists of at least two powerful beings, identified in the New Testament as the Father and the Son. Jesus Himself affirmed His place within Elohim, asserting His unity with the Father and revealing a family structure that extends beyond a singular entity. The concept of Elohim as one, despite its plurality, is akin to how we refer to the United States or the United Nations with a singular verb, acknowledging a unified entity composed of many. Elohim always acts in singular agreement, with no divisiveness, functioning as one institution, one family, and one kingdom. The Bible emphasizes this unity, as seen in Deuteronomy where it states, "The LORD our Elohim is one LORD," using a plural noun with a singular verb to convey a profound oneness in purpose and action. Furthermore, Elohim is not static but expanding, drawing humanity into this divine family. Scriptures in the New Testament show that believers, through the Spirit of God, are considered part of the God family already, destined to be one with the Father and the Son. This unity is not merely physical proximity but a oneness in mind, heart, and spirit, achieved through growing in the knowledge of Christ and becoming in the image of Elohim. Thus, Elohim, as revealed in the Bible, is a family growing ever larger, a kingdom in perfect harmony, inviting us to be part of its divine unity.
