He is the eternal Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is a triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but they all are separate and distinct roles). Jesus Christ, the Son of God came into the world to save people from their sins, because God is a Holy and Perfect and Just God. He is also Love, thus He determined in His love to show mercy on all people by taking the penalty of sin onto Himself in the Person of His Son on the Cross 2000 years ago. Christ's shed blood is for the forgiveness of sins. A person needs to repent and put their trust in Christ alone for salvation to live eternally in Heaven. Sadly, many people love their sins (living apart from His laws, the Ten Commandments), thus they choose instead to mock Him. It is true that even Christ's followers are still broken people themselves and struggle with sin, however a true follower will show fruit bearing with repentance ( love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control). God is currently saving people from all walks of life in the world, because He is a God who saves "whosoever shall, may come and receive eternal life" in Christ.

" For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or [e]principalities or [f]powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." (Colossians 1:15-17)

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)

@ANewCovenant This is religion, not God. And only one example of a religion
