The triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) passionately loves all people and wants to spend all eternity with each of us. He eagerly awaits the homecoming of his long-lost children. He wants them to receive his grace and mercy, and enjoy their place in his family of love and joy. Below are links to GCI articles on the nature of God, including ones on the doctrine of the Trinity and related topics.
