God is the eternal, uncreated, uncaused, unmoved, necessary, independent, pinnacle of creation whose perfect intelligence guides all things to their ends. He is One God in Three Persons, a Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father from all eternity, his only-begotten Son, and the life-giving Spirit which proceeds from the Father through the Son. The Son chose to take flesh from the Virgin Mary and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, assuming our humanity such that we could be redeemed and share in the divine nature lost by Adam's sin. The Holy Spirit was given us to be our comforter and guide until the end of the age, when Christ shall return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
