Key Verse: Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever,

Attributes are the characteristics or qualities belonging to a person. The attributes of God fall into two main categories: Essential and Moral.
1: Essential Attributes: These are attributes that are unique to God, and which make Him God. They can never be shared by any of His creatures. Under this are the followings: God is Eternal: He has no beginning and no end, God exists from eternity to eternity, Psalm 90: 2. He is Everlasting, forever and ever ‘backward’, forever and ever ‘forward’. God exists from a dateless past that has no beginning and will be there forever, world without end.
God is Self-Existence: God exists in and by Himself, He is the I AM. Exodus 3:14. He is Jehovah God, the Self-existent God. He owes His existence to no one. He lives independent of anyone.
God is Immutable: God is unchanging and unchangeable as to His character and nature, Hebrew 13.8.
God is Omnipotent: God is all powerful. Nothing is impossible with God. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto Him, Psalm 62:11.
God is Omniscient: He is all-knowing. He knows all things in the past, present and the future, Proverb 15:3.
God is Omnipresent: God is all-present. He cannot be limited by space and time. He is everywhere at all times. Psalm 139:7-12.
2: Moral attributes: These are attributes which belong to God especially in relation to His creatures. These attributes are those which God intends man to possess;
Perfect holiness: This speaks of absolute purity. God neither sins nor tolerates sin. He is perfectly holy in all His ways, Revelation 4:8.
Perfect righteousness: Righteousness is holiness in action against sin. Genesis 2:17; Romans 2:6-10.
Perfect love: Love is the heart of God. God does not only have love, God is love. He is the absolute personification of love, 1 John 4:8. Components of God’s love includes: goodness; grace; mercy; compassion and kindness.
Perfect faithfulness: God is absolutely trustworthy, loyal, reliable, and true to His Words, Revelation 19:11
