The nature of God is a crucial issue in Christian theology. According to the New Testament, God consists of three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the God of the Old Testament, the Son is Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the Sustainer and Comforter for the Christian believer. Each of the Three (Trinity) are both fully God and yet fully distinct from from the other two members -- at the same time!

Just like Judaism and Islam, God is omnipresent (everywhere at once), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omniscient (all-knowing). He is also completely perfect and without sin. Because of this, God cannot allow sin into His Presence, as that would violate His perfect nature. God also cannot allow sin to go unpunished, as he is perfectly just. However, God is also perfectly merciful and loves each member of the human race regardless of any sins they may have committed. The balance between God's justice and His compassion is the reason Jesus had to die on the cross -- His death for our sins satisfied God's perfect justice and gave us entry into His Kingdom, should we choose to accept it.

Judaism is mainly about our relationship with God, and our obligations

toward Him. God is One Being, He is the only creator of the universe,

he controls both good and evil, and He is the only one worthy of praise

and worship.

Anthropomorphism is not a concept acceptable in Judaism, and it is

forbidden to give God a certain form as that is a kind of idolatry,

The only reasons Scripture grants God anthropomorphic characteristics

is to make Him easier to comprehend. God is believed to exist in all

places; there is no bounds to where He exists(omniprescence).

God is also not limited to any time. He has no beginning or end and

shall always be there to watch over us. God can do anything; the one

thing beyond Him is our fear of Him. We have free will, and God cannot

force His will upon us. God always has a reason for doing something even if

we do not know why. He is also Merciful and would not give us something

we are not capable of doing.

An important aspect in Judaism states that we are all the children of

God. While our parents give us our body, it is God who gives us our soul.

We are also considered to be created in His image; our souls are similar

(in some respects) to Himself.

The true nature of God is something humans can't comprehend, imagine, or understand. Once, Moses asked to see God, but was told to look at a mountain and if the mountain could stand in its place, then he would see Him. God manifested of His glory to it, and the mountain crumbled to pieces, whereas Moses fell from the sight of the mountain.

The Quran contains a parable describing Himself for our simple human understanding.

"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His

Light is as if there were a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp

inclosed in glass; the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a

blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e neither it gets

sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e nor does it get

sun-rays only in the afternoon,- but it is exposed to the sun all day

long), whose oil is well-nigh luminous, although fire scarce touch it:

Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom he wills. And Allah

sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah doth know all things.

This is a simple Surah which tells us who God is;

"Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute;

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

And there is none like unto Him."

(Quran 112)

There are over ninety-nine names of God in Islam, with Allah being only one of them; they are all characteristics of Him mentioned in the Quran. Allah is the name which refers to God and all of his other characteristics.
