Unity of God

53 scripture references across 20 subtopics — Nave's Topical Bible

Overview

Scripture consistently declares the exclusive oneness of God. From the foundational Shema in Deuteronomy to New Testament affirmations, the Bible teaches monotheism as central to faith. God's uniqueness means He alone possesses supreme power, knowledge, and authority over all creation.

Key Scriptures

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4, ESV). "There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, ESV). "One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in you all" (Ephesians 4:6, ESV).

Application

Since God alone is supreme, believers should direct all worship, trust, and obedience exclusively to Him, rejecting any divided allegiance or idolatry in daily life.
