The attributes of God are descriptions of who God is.
An “attribute” can be defined as something God has revealed Himself to be. God’s attributes are revealed truths of who He is and are revealed in scripture through His word.
I believe God’s character traits are infinite and because of that, this list will continue to grow and expand. Therefore, I doubt it will ever be completed. He is constantly revealing Himself to those who believe, by faith. As we read we understand more about Him and Who He is…
