What is an attribute? An attribute is a quality by which something is. e.g., Darkness is an attribute of NIGHT. WHAT ARE THE (10) ATTRIBUTES OF GOD? 1. DIVINITY ( not made of chemicals, material, or flesh. He is a Spirit Being). John 4: 24, 1:18 2. ETERNITY ( He has no beginning & His existence never ends) Psalm 90:2, Revelation 1:8

Attributes of God… 3. IMMUTABILITY (He is unchanging in his nature of being. Totally reliable & trustworthy) Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19 4. JUST ( acts without favoritism) Psalm 18:30, Deuteronomy 32:4 5. OMNIPOTENCE ( all-powerful. Nothing in the universe is NOT within His reach. The word IMPOSSIBLE does not exist in His vocabulary) Jeremiah 32:17, 27, Revelation 19:6

Continued – Attributes of the ONE true GOD 6. SOVEREIGNITY ( Nothing can thwart his purposes. He is ABOVE all things) Psalm 95:3 7. OMNIPRESENCE ( God is in ALL places at the same time. He is everywhere present) Jeremiah 23:23-24, Psalm 139: HOLINESS ( He is a BEING separated from ALL moral defilement and is hostile to evil) Isaiah 6:3, Leviticus 19:2, Matt. 5:48

Attributes of the Divine Being … 9. OMNISCIENCE ( He has unlimited knowledge) Psalm 139: 1-4, 1 John 3: TRANSCENDENCY ( He is exceedingly far above ALL creation. God is GREATER than the universe and is INDEPENDENT of it) Jeremiah 32:27 Conclusion: (1) God is a self-existing, uncaused, invisible, holy and omnipresent DIVINE BEING! (2) Do you think you can SIN and HIDE from such a Supernatural Being ??
