5 KEY POINTS

from the article:
The first cause must be eternal. Since it is not itself "caused," it cannot have a beginning. God, according to the Bible, fits this description.
The first cause must also be changeless, since change is always triggered by some outside force or event. But since the first cause is the "first," no other causes can affect it. This means the first cause must not only be changeless, but it must also be perfect—it is the standard of all other things, since all other things are caused by and secondary to it. Here, again, the God of the Bible matches this description.
The first cause must be creative, since there is a great deal of diversity in the natural world.
It must be phenomenally intelligent, since there is amazing structure and complexity in the universe.
This first cause must also be incredibly powerful in order to create and sustain all of these things. Scripture speaks of exactly this kind of being.
