“As for God, His way is perfect; 
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”  Psalm 18:30

Last time we looked at Scripture that spoke of God as there being none like Him.  This time let’s see what Scripture says of ‘one God’.

In Deuteronomy speaking to Israel,
“To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD Himself is God; there is none other besides Him.”  Deuteronomy 4:35

Deuteronomy 6:4 says,
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!”
Because of this, read verses 5-9 that Scripture tells how Israel should respond.

“Now see that I,  even I, am He,
And  there is no God besides Me…”  Deuteronomy 32:39

2 Samuel 7:22 says,
“Therefore You are great, O LORD God.  For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”

“That men may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD,
Are the Most High over all the earth.”  Psalm 83:18

“For You are great, and do wondrous things;
You alone are God.”  Psalm 86:10

“Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
I am the First and the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.”  Isaiah 44:6

“For thus says the LORD,
Who created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who did not create it in vain,
Who formed it to be inhabited:
I am the LORD, and there is no other.”  Isaiah 45:18

In response to one of the scribes Jesus said in Mark 12:29-31.
“‘The first of all commandments is: Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.  This is the first commandment.’
And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these .”
(This is the Shema and it would be good for all to commit it to memory.)

Concerning unity, Ephesians 4:4-6 gives the explanation:
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
(Just as an aside, notice in these three verses there are seven ones!)

1 Timothy 2:5 is one of those underlined verses;
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”

God is one and there is no one like Him!  Thank your Most Holy Mighty and Merciful God for drawing us unto Yourself!  We are grateful beyond measure, that we are Yours and Your are ours!  Amen
