Who is God?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

God. Who is He? The Bible identifies Him as the creator of all that exists. He made the world, which helps us understand our place in it. He made us—He made you. You have an undeniable connection with God whether you realize it or not.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us

and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4:10

God loves us. God created us. He loves us—so much so that He sent His Son to restore our relationship with Him. Propitiation is a word that means “to restore into good favor.” Why does this need to happen? As the verse indicates, sin is the major reason. Sin destroys our relationship with God, but God in His love made a way for us to be restored.
