God or Gods
“We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, and to his deeds we testify: He calls the worlds into being, creates man in his own image and sets before him the ways of life and death He seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin He judges men and nations by his righteous will declared through prophets and apostles.”8 ( ǡ

Christ
Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in Christ all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, or principalities or authorities–all things were created through Christ and for Christ Christ is before all things, and in Christ all things hold together Christ is the head of the body, the church; Christ is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead that in everything Christ might be preeminent For in Christ all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Christ all things are reconciled to God, whether
on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of Christ’s cross (5IF#PPLPG8PSTIJQ, United Church of Christ)
