God's unity means that He is one in essence, existing as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The unity of God, often referred to as the doctrine of the Trinity, asserts that there is one God in three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is emphasized in verses like John 17:21, which discusses the unity of believers with Christ and the Father, reflecting the divine unity. Furthermore, verses such as Exodus 20:3 declare that 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me,' underscoring that there can be no competition in divinity. The unity is vital to understanding our salvation and the nature of God’s love and grace, as these three persons work in harmony to accomplish His redemptive plan.
