The Bible sets forth a definite metaphysical scheme. It begins with God who is a personal, infinitely perfect, pure spirit (Ex. 15:11; Mal. 2:10; John 4:24). The triune God (2 Cor. 13:14) is unique in His nature and works (Ps. 86:9), self-existent (Ex. 3:14; John 5:26; Gal. 4:8-9), eternal (Ps. 90:2), Immutable (Mal. 3:6) and omnipresent (Ps. 139:7-10). Everything else that exists has been created out of nothing (Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 11:3), whether the material world (Gen. 1:1; Ex. 20:11), the realm of spirits (Ps. 148:2,5), or man. Man was created as the image of God (Gen. 1:27), a being who exhibits both a material and immaterial character (Matt. 10:28), surviving bokily death (Ecc. 12:7; Rom. 2:7) with personal awareness of God (2 Cor. 5:8), and awaiting bodily resurrection (1 Cor. 6:14; 15:42-44).
In creation God made all things according to His unsearchable wisdom (Ps. 104:24; Isa 40:28), assigning all things their definite characters (Isa. 40:26; 46:9-10). God also determines all thing by His wisdom (Eph. 1:11—preserving (Neh. 9:6), governing (Ps. 103:19), and predetermining the nature and course of all thing, thus being able to work miracles (Ps. 72:18). The decree by which God providentially ordains historical events is eternal, effectual, unconditional, unchangeable, and comprehensive (e. g. Is. 46:10; Acts 2:23; Eph. 3:9-11).
These truths are paradigmatic for the believer; they are the ultimate principles of objective reality, to be distinguished from the delusions set forth in contrary views of the world.
