In the N.T.,
these and all the other Divine characteristics are predicated of

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord
; 1 Tim. 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; self- existence, John 5:26
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself ; immutability, James 1:17 Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning ; eternity, Rom. 1:20 For the invisible things
of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made,[even] his eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are without excuse ; universality.
Matt. 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. ; Acts
17:[26] And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to
dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the

That they should seek the Lord, if happily they might feel after
him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.
[28] For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his
offspring. ; almighty power, Matt 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them],
and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God
all things are possible. ; infinite knowledge, Acts 2:23 Him,
being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of
God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and
slain. ; creative power, Rom. 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles,
inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine
office ; Eph. 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the

is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. ;
righteousness, John 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not
known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that
thou hast sent me. ;faithfulness, 1 Cor. 1:9 God [is] faithful,
by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord. ;love, 1 John 4:[8] He that loveth not knoweth
not God; for God is love. [16] And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. ; mercy, Rom. 9:[15]
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion. [18] Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have
mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth ; truthfulness, Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
before the world began.

Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief

to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall
rise again. ; John 1:[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the

sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. [24]
