It is difficult to clearly distinguish between the attributes and the nature of God. It is maintained by some that such a division ought not to be made; that these qualities of God which we call attributes are in reality part of His nature and essence. Whether this be exactly so or not, our purpose in speaking of the attributes of God is for convenience in the study of the doctrine of God.

It has been customary to divide the attributes of God into two classes:

the Natural, and the Moral. The Natural attributes are Omniscience,

Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Eternity; the Moral attributes: Holiness,

Righteousness, Faithfulness, Mercy and Loving-kindness, and Love.
