How do we know that God is the true God?

We understand God as the true God based on His sovereign nature, revealed through His acts of creation and throughout biblical history. In the historical account of Elijah and the prophets of Baal, we see God's power demonstrated when He answers Elijah’s prayer with fire from heaven, confirming His existence and authority over all creation. This act, as well as His fulfillment of prophecies and His faithfulness to His covenant people, serves as evidence that He is the one true God. The Scriptures consistently point to God's unique attributes—His omniscience, omnipotence, and unwavering righteousness—discerning Him from all false idols, which are powerless and unable to deliver.
