One of the hardest concept for people is that God was never created. He has always been. Another is that God is three parts, but only one God. The churchy word for this is triune. This is where He is a complete mystery. People have a start and a finish. We are only one person, but complex all the same. We are not able to really comprehend something without a beginning or end or even more complex than what you are.
The Trinity is God in three separate identities: the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. Who He is vast and complex, but He makes Himself known to people. He seeks a real relationship with you. He simplifies it to the point of making it personal. The trinity is the foundation of faith and truth.
God is real which automatically separates Him from the world religions. It does set the people of faith apart from the world by uniting us through creation, salvation, and sanctification. God is supreme in His unity and uniqueness from all the false gods.
God holds power over life. He is the only one that knows the day and hour of your death. He is sovereign over all living things including the galaxy and far beyond. He has all that power, but He is still faithful to you as an individual. You may not even be able to get a conversation with your pastor or boss because of the number of people in the church or company, but God makes time for you whenever you want it.
God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Those are just big educational words for God being all knowing, all powerful, and present everywhere. The trinity together make the perfect union. In marriage, friendship, or business you can use them as the example of how to make it work. Separately they each have their own roles, but together they work perfectly in action and focus without hierarchy or a power struggle.
God is true and pure love. His love comes with direction, discipline, and consistency. True love does not let you walk into danger without trying to stop you. True love has consequences if you ignore caution. True love stays with you even when you don't deserve it, but it also enforces boundaries. If you chose to follow Jesus in faith, then you are sealed as part of God's family with the Holy Spirit living in you to provide unconditional love and direction until you go home.
God is a mystery, but He is not nearly as mysterious as some people make Him out to be. He has laid it all out for you in the Bible. He wants you to know Him because He already knows and loves you. He is not to be ignored. If you ignore Him now, then you will lose out on the comfort in eternal life with Him. The choice to accept or reject God is always yours.
