Question
Please I would like to briefly know the concept of God in the Bible, briefly please. Thank you.

Answer
Thank you for writing, Isa.
   God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of everything, Who has supernaturally provided and preserved His written Word (the Bible) so humans can have an intimate relationship with Him.  
   He is supernaturally Three in One-- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and He has supernaturally worked at times in history through miracles such as the ten plagues that precipitated Israel's release from slavery in Egypt.
   God the Son lowered Himself to become human (Jesus), because He loved us enough to pay what we owe because we have broken His standard of perfection.  Death and everything bad comes from breaking God's standard of perfection.  Jesus died in our place then overcame death on the third day, so we can receive His eternal life, love, and everything good and perfect.  
   If we believe God enough to entrust our Self completely to Him, allowing our spirit to "die to our sins and be born again" in identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus in our place, then we can live forever with Him in perfect happiness.
   I pray that you accept God's offer so I will see you someday in Heaven.
