How do we know God is the only true God?

Answered in 4 sources

God proved His sovereignty through miraculous acts, such as consuming the sacrifice on Mount Carmel, which demonstrated His power above all false idols.

The narrative of Elijah on Mount Carmel serves as a powerful testament to the truth of God's existence and His sovereignty as the only true God. When the prophets of Baal cried out to their god, Baal, there was no voice to answer them, highlighting the reality that Baal was merely a figment of their imagination. In contrast, when Elijah called upon the Lord, fire fell from heaven, consuming the burnt sacrifice and confirming the Lord's presence and power. This critical moment illustrates that the true God is not only alive but actively engages with His creation, evidenced through miraculous actions that affirm His sovereign will. The historical events in Scripture, such as this confrontation, provide solid grounds for believers to trust in the Lord, knowing that He is the only God worthy of worship.
