 The Bahá 'í writings describe a single , personal , inaccessible , omniscient , omnipresent , imperishable , and almighty God who is the creator of all things in the universe . The existence of God and the universe is thought to be eternal , without a beginning or end . Though inaccessible directly , God is nevertheless seen as conscious of creation , with a will and purpose that is expressed through messengers termed Manifestations of God .
