Key Characteristics Of Supreme Being

By Patricia Bailey


People have different opinions and explanations on how they became into existence and all other things, which surround them. Thus, the story of creation is something, which has been and still is disturbing so many persons. However, most of them believe that a Supreme Being who is very powerful made them all. Therefore, they have tried to study about Him from His Holy Scriptures to understand Him. The following are some of His characteristics.

The first attribute is omnipresent. This quality implies that the highest being is present everywhere. As for the Christianity and Judaism, this nature is fundamental. They believe that He can be found anywhere and at any time. His presence is continuous from one generation to another even if it is not revealed at the same time or way to persons. This term is commonly used in religious context.

Knows all the things that are on the face of this earth. Omniscience implies that He is all-knowing. There are many creatures including human beings. Everything that happens to them God knows. The knowledge that He has, no one has ever had it. He could see even that which is secret. All the hidden agendas, he can reveal them.

Even if there are so many governments, at least each country or state has authority. You cannot compare this with that of God. Omnipotent has to do with power, authority, and control, which is His attribute. He has power over touchable and untouchable, seen or unseen things in the world. Any creature cannot challenge his power. Therefore, He preserves them the way He wants.

Eternal life is a character of God too. The immortality of the Almighty is a sure way that, there is no day or time He will face death. Thus, since He has been living for the past period, He will still be alive for eternity. It is opposite to what persons face. The mortal people can die any time just like any creature. He was, is and will ever be there.

Above all, immeasurable holiness is part of the features of Almighty. You cannot separate holiness from Him because that is what defines Him and His work. He does not struggle with sin because being Holy is His nature. As for persons who are always in sins, and whenever they try to come out it, they again find themselves sinning. However, Almighty is and will ever be holy.

The deity can love immeasurably. Most persons who are His believers can feel his love. This can tell individuals more because; He shows kindness, mercy, patience and many other things because He so loves all irrespective of how sinful they are. His love is far much different from those of persons.

Self-existence. He was never created nor was He born to anyone. Thus, He is independent. Most persons think that they were designed just to give Him companionship, but this is not true. If His survival was depending on anything, then He could not have been having all the above characteristics.
