What are the attributes of God?

Great question! Here's the answer:

Anattributeis something that tells us who a person is. Attributes are character qualities.

God has many, many attributes, and all of them are good. Just about any good word you can think of will describe God! Here are just a few of His attributes:

• God is love. He loves everyone He created with a perfect love, and He sent His own Son to die for our sins because He loves us so much.

• God is perfect, without sin.

• God is powerful. He can do anything, and nothing is impossible for Him.

• God is omniscient, which means He is all-knowing.

• God is omnipresent, which means He is everywhere at all times.

• God is holy. There is nothing and no one else like Him.

These are just a few of the attributes of God. You can read God’s Word, the Bible, to find out more!
