How do we know God is the true God?

Answered in 5 sources

We know God is the true God because He proves His sovereignty and power, as demonstrated in the biblical account where He answered by fire.

The true God can be identified by His unique attributes and actions that demonstrate His sovereignty and power over all creation. In the narrative of 1 Kings 18, when Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal, it becomes clear that the true God answers by fire, revealing His holiness and capability to consume the sacrifice. This is not only an act of affirmation of His sovereignty but also serves as a turning point for the people to recognize who truly reigns sovereign. As Isaiah 45 states, God claims singularity in His divine authority; thus, the evidences of His actions, particularly in scripts where He responds to those who call on Him, mark Him out as the true God among all other idols.
