- Belief. Accepting the existence of God, often as our Creator, sustained, or supreme being with attributes like omnipotence, omniscience, and benevolence.
- Trust. Relying on God’s guidance, wisdom, and promises, even in the absence of tangible proof or during times of uncertainty.
- Relationship. A personal connection with God often expressed through prayer, worship, or adherence to spiritual teachings.
