# The Nature of God

**In one sentence:** God makes Himself known: creation shows everyone His eternal power and divine
nature, and He names Himself, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, by what He does for His people, so you
can know Him by name and call on Him.

The series moves from what everyone can see to what God has said. Week one is general revelation;
weeks two to four take the names of the three persons in the order of the creeds.
