The Doctrine of God - Unity of God
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one LORD:" (Deuteronomy 6:4)
The fundamental concept of the Shema (the name of this passage, which is the first word in Hebrew: Hear!) is that God is one and not many gods. By definition, there can be only one all-powerful, infinite, limitless God.
Illustration: To speak of more than one supreme, absolute, perfect, and almighty Being is to say something contradictory. There cannot be two absolutes for then there would be no absolute.
Application: By revelation, we know that only Yaweh is that one God. Therefore, nothing in your life should come between you and God.
