The word God, used in singular, refers in monotheism to the one deity governing the universe, and represents the supreme reality. Among Western theologians God is generally regarded as:

... a personal being, bodiless, omnipresent, creator and sustainer of any universe there may be, perfectly free, omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly good, and a source of moral obligation; who exists eternally and necessarily. . .[1]
