Attributes of God

Infinity of God

Attribute of God

Infinity

Definition God’s infinity means He is without limits, boundaries, or constraints of any kind — unbounded by space, time, or created categories. He is absolutely unlimited in His being, perfections, and presence.
OT Support 1 Kings 8:27 — “Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!”

Psalm 145:3 — “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.”
NT Support Romans 11:33 — “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”

Revelation 1:8 — “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Theological Implications God’s infinity is not merely an extension of greatness but an altogether different category of being — He exists without external limits, for nothing outside Himself defines or constrains Him. This attribute undergirds all others: His love, holiness, and wisdom are equally without measure or bound. For the believer, God’s infinity is profound comfort — no depth of sin exhausts His mercy, no breadth of suffering exceeds His presence, and no complexity of need surpasses His wisdom. We worship not a great-but-finite deity, but the limitless Lord who holds all things in His boundless hand.

Faithfulness of God

Attribute of God

Faithfulness

Definition God’s faithfulness is His constant reliability and unwavering commitment to keep His promises and remain true to His character. He never lies, never forgets, never fails, and never changes in His loyalty to His word and to His people.
Old Testament Support Deut 7:9 — “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.”
Lam 3:22–23 — “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Ps 36:5 — “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.”
Ps 89:8 — “O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you?”
New Testament Support 1 Cor 1:9 — “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Thess 5:24 — “He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.”
2 Tim 2:13 — “If we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.”
1 John 1:9 — “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Theological Implications

Because God is faithful, His promises are not contingent on human performance but on His own unchanging character. He cannot lie (Titus 1:2) and He cannot deny Himself (2 Tim 2:13) — which means every covenant He makes is as secure as His own being. His faithfulness is not a response to our worthiness but an expression of who He is, extending to a thousand generations regardless of the failures of any one of them.

For the believer, this is both a warning and a profound comfort. It is a warning because God’s faithfulness means He is equally faithful to His word of judgment as to His word of grace. But it is above all a comfort: the same God who was faithful to Abraham, to Israel in exile, and to His Son in the resurrection is faithful to every promise made to those who are in Christ. Our sin does not exhaust His mercies; they are new every morning. We may be faithless — He remains faithful still.
