    3. One God Beliefs in God are expressed in ‘creeds’ – statements of belief. The two traditional forms of the creed are called the ‘Nicene creed’ and the ‘Apostles’ Creed’. Christians believe that there is one God. Belief in one God is called ‘monotheism’. God is a mystery – humans cannot understand Him. They refer to God as ‘Him’ because our language cannot describe Him. He is not male – or female – he is beyond gender. God is infinite (without any limits) and eternal (no beginning or end)

    4. The Trinity Christians believe that God is involved in the world and has shown himself to the world in three different ways or natures – as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is called the Trinity (three-in-one). The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three persons of the Trinity – so we can have a personal relationship with them. Think of a triangle – it has three sides but is just one shape.
