Christianity and God
Christians believe in the Trinity. Christians believe in God the Father. This is the all-powerful, all-knowing part of God, who created the world. In the Apostles Creed it says “God the Father, maker of Heaven and Earth”. Christians also believe that it shows the caring, personal relationship between humans and God, like that between a child and their father.
Secondly, Christians believe in God the Son. In the Apostles Creed it refers to Jesus as “Christ his only Son our Lord”. Jesus is God in human form. Christians believe that through becoming human as Jesus, God revealed something of himself to the world. Jesus is known as The Redeemer – the one who showed the pathway to Heaven, showed how to be forgiven by God and showed how to live life as God would want it.
Finally, Christians believe in God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides Christians to live their lives in the best way possible. The Holy Spirit is able to give comfort, courage, inspiration and guidance to all Christians, and helps people to believe in Jesus and strengthen their faith. It also helps Christians to understand and Bible as the word of God. The Holy Spirit is also mentioned in the Apostles Creed

Islam and God
God is outside our human understanding, but for Muslims he lies at the very centre of everything we think and do – he is immanent. So, how do Muslims ‘see’ God? The Qur’an and the Hadith have many different ‘names’ for God, not as a person, but using words that describe his qualities and attributes. They use names like: King, Protector, Wise, Eternal, Light, etc. These are known as the 99 beautiful names of God. In fact, there are different lists of these names, recorded through different traditions of Muslims, but reciting these names has been a powerful form of prayer for Muslims through the centuries.
Muslims also believe in Tawhid. This means they believe that there is only one God, nothing is like God, nothing is as powerful as God, God has no partners, no sons. Gd is one. Y8 T3 Belief in God: Why do people believe in God and what is God like?<br>
