There are numerous attributes God enjoys as a Supreme Being of the world.

These features are for Him and Him alone. Some of those attributes are;

1.

God Is Unchanging (immutable) - Psalm 33:11; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8 God never changes! As time passes, everything seems to change, mountains, deserts, people. Your likes, dislikes, views, thinking, perhaps even your personality; however, God never changes. Never! What peace it brings to the Christian's heart to realize that our Heavenly Father never differs from Himself. In coming to Him at any time, we need not wonder whether we shall find Him in a receptive mood. He is always receptive to misery and need, as well as to love and: faith. He does not keep office hours nor set aside periods when He will see no one. Neither does He change His mind about anything. Today, this moment, He feels toward His creature, toward babies, toward the sick, the fallen, the sinful, exactly as He did when He sent His only-begotten Son into the world to die for mankind. God never changes moods or cools off in His affections or loses enthusiasm. His attitude toward sin is now the same as it was when He drove out the sinful man from the eastward garden, and His attitude toward the sinner the same as when He stretched forth His hands and cried, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) God will not compromise and He need not be coaxed. He cannot be persuaded to alter His Word nor talked into answering selfish prayer. In all our efforts to find God, to please Him, to commune with him, we could remember that all change must be on our part. "For I, the LORD, do not change" (Malachi 3:6). We have but to meet His clearly stated terms, bring our lives into accord with His revealed

will, and His infinite power will become instantly operative toward us in the manner set forth through the Gospel in the Scriptures of truth. 2. God Is Powerful - (omnipotence) Isaiah 42:5 God's power is unlimited. He can do any thing He pleases, but what He pleases will always be in perfect harmony with His character. Because God is all powerful the believer is kept secure and assured of God's ability to fulfill His promises. John 10:28, 29. 3. God Is Everywhere - (omnipresent) Psalm 139:7, 8; Jeremiah 23:23, 24 It is impossible to hide from Him or to escape from Him - God is personally present everywhere through all time and space. He is not like a substance spread out in a thin layer all over the earth - all of Him is in Sierra Madre, in Calcutta, Rome, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo at one and the same time. If God is everywhere, it is foolish to think we can hide from Him. In the Old Testament, Jonah tried to run from God, but he ended up as fish bait. On the other hand, it also means that today a believer may experience the presence of God at all times and know the blessings of walking with Him in a most vivid way. 4. God Is Sovereign - Job 42:2; Ecclesiastes 7:13-14; Romans 8:28; Psalm 104). The word sovereign means chief or highest, supreme in power, superior in position to all others. When we say that God is sovereign, we are saying that He has absolute authority and is the one ruler in the universe, in control of all things. 5. God Is Eternal - (Psalm 90:2; 102:12) There has never been a time when God did not exist. He never had a beginning and will never have an end. Being eternal, God is not bound by time. Having always existed, He

sees the past and the future as clearly as the present. With this perspective, He has a better understanding as to what is best for our lives. Knowing this, we should be willing to trust Him with our lives. (Proverbs 3:5; 6) 6. God Knows All - (omniscience). 1 Chronicles 28:9; Psalm 139:2 There is nothing that God does not know. This includes not only all raw facts, but also opinions and thoughts. He knows the future, as well as the past and present. "How unutterably sweet is the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows us completely. No tale bearer can inform on us, no enemy can make an accusation stick; no forgotten skeleton can come tumbling out of some hidden closet to abash us and expose our past; no unsuspected weakness in our character can come to light to turn God away from us, since He know us utterly before we knew Him and called us to Himself in the full knowledge of everything that was against us." Isn't it incredible that God loves us even though He knows us ... really knows us! Knowing all about us He still forgave all our sins and accept us into His family forever!

General Attributes of God

i) God Is Just (Psalm 89:14 Romans 1:18) It is impossible for Him to do anything that is unfair, either to Himself or to man. God's justice is more often applicable in the area of judgment. When men stand before God to be judged, they will receive full justice. His is both a comfort (for those who have been wronged in life) and a warning (for those who think they have been getting away with evil).

ii) God Is Holy - (1 Samuel 2:2; Psalm 99; Exodus 15:11ff) The Bible refers to the holiness of God more than to any other attribute. When holy is used in reference to God, it refers to His total separation from evil. Not even a hint of a blemish could be found in our God; He is completely pure. What an encouragement to us who trust in His name to realize that not the slightest evil blemish or flaw could ever be found in His love' sovereignty, power, wisdom, faithfulness, goodness, etc., because He is holy. iii) Grace, Mercy and Love God's dealings with His people are based on His goodness, generosity, concern, and compassion; instead of on what we deserve. (Deut 7:7-9; 10:15-18; 33:12; 1Chr 16:34; Neh 9:17; Ps 63:3; Dan 9:9; Jonah 3:10-4:2. John 3:16; Rom 5:8-11; Eph 1:6f; 2:4-10; 5:11-13; Rev 21:4). iv) Good The moral character of God Exod 34:6; 1Chr 16:34; Ps 25:8; 34:8-10; 135:3; Lam 3:25; Nah 1:7, Matt 7:11; Acts 14:17; Rom 2:4; 2Thes 1:11 v) Incomparable God is superior over all in His essence, character, and actions and is worthy of all praise. Exod 15:11; Deut 33:26; 2Sam 7:22; Ps 35:10; Isa 40:25; Jer 10:6-16,1Tim 1:17; 6:15f; Jude 25; Rev 4:8-11.
