Title: The Doctrine of God's Simplicity (or Unity)
Author: Brian Fletcher
Text: Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Introduction: Going to see the Hope Diamond in elementary school.
Today we are going to study another attribute of God called "the Simplicity of God." The doctrine of the simplicity of God is not that God is simple in the sense of not being complex but rather God is simply who He is, and there is nothing like Him.

God was not created, God has no origin, God has no beginning, God has no end. As 1 Timothy states, "God is the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."
From that point forward, God continues to reveal Himself as the only God who is living, the only God who is true, and the only God who exists.

They are simply mirages of our imaginations. The story of the Bible is about God revealing His true self to His people to woo them away from these imaginations and back to Himself, the Only True and living God. Of course, God will use all three persons of the Godhead, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to redeem His people and bring them back into the covenantal relationship they were created to be in with Himself.
Chapter 2 Of God, and of the Holy Trinity
1. There is but one only, living, and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions; immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute; working all things according to the couns ...
