Christians believe that there is only one God. The oneness of God is important to Christians because:
• The first of the 10 commandments states, “You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus)
• It is clearly taught throughout the Bible.
• It is the teaching of the Church, as seen in the Creeds and other important teaching documents, such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
• When asked which was the greatest commandment, Jesus replied, “The most important one is this, ’Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one’.” (Mark)
