We believe that God has revealed Himself through Scripture so that we can better know the nature, character, and attributes of God the Father, Son, and Spirit. Here are a few of those attributes.

Omniscient - God knows everything and His knowledge is complete.

“Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” (Psalm 147:5)

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” (Romans 11:33)

“...For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” (1 John 3:20, NIV84)

Omnipotent - God is able to bring to pass everything that He chooses. He has no external limitations. His only limits are those He places upon Himself. 

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.”” (Genesis 18:14)

““I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.” (Job 42:2)

Omnipresent - God’s omnipresence speaks to the fact that He is present in all places at all times. 

“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” (Psalm 139:7–12)

Immutable - By nature, God is absolutely unchanging. For this reason, the attributes He possessed before the creation of the world are the same ones He has today. 

““I the Lord do not change....” (Malachi 3:6)

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NIV84)

Holy - God’s holiness is not simply a better version of the best we know. God is utterly and supremely untainted. His holiness stands apart—unique and incomprehensible.

“Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.” (Psalm 99:9)

“Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”” (Revelation 4:8)

Merciful - God’s mercy has been defined as God not giving us what we deserve. 

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,” (Ephesians 2:4)

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” (Psalm 103:8)

Righteous - God’s holiness is manifested in His righteousness. Because He is holy, He is righteous. 

“But the Lord is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.” (Psalm 129:)

“The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.” (Psalm 145:17)

God is self-sufficient - All things are God’s to give, and all that is given is given by Him. He can receive nothing that He has not already given us.

““The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.” (Acts 17:24–27)

Love - God’s love is so great that He gave His only Son to bring us into fellowship with Him. God’s love not only encompasses the world, but embraces each of us personally and intimately.

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:7–10)
