ATTRIBUTES OF GOD

God is omnipotent; His power is unlimited and complete, although He always limits His power by acting in accordance with the rest of His character. God is omnipresent and omniscient, meaning He is everywhere and knows everything, whether past, present, or future.

Unlike man who changes from one day to the next, God is immutable and unchanging, which means He is absolutely reliable and trustworthy. God's mind is incomprehensible to mankind. God's thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. They are so much higher than ours as to make Him inscrutable, unfathomable, unsearchable, and past finding out as far as understanding Him completely.

God is unique; He is one God and there is no other, and He alone is worthy of our worship and devotion. God is completely sovereign over all of life and all circumstances. His plans and purposes will stand and no one can stop Him or say to Him, "What are you doing?".

God is truth, He will always be truthful and, unlike man, He cannot lie. His holiness is transcendent. His holiness is what separates Him from all moral defilement. God is as a consuming fire and His holy wrath against sin is to be feared. His holiness is tempered by His grace which offers goodness, kindness, mercy, and love to those who do not deserve it.

God is just. God's justice and His righteousness, the quality or character of being right or just, is another attribute of God. He does not show favortism by respecting some more than others.
