God is omniscient (He is aware of everything), and infinitely wise.
God created the universe and all existence, including time and space, in a deliberate, purposeful act of benevolent Creation.
God is the mover of everything. No molecule can move without the energy and direction with which God imbues it.
God is eternal; and His ways are also eternal. He is not capricious, forgetful or fickle.

God is ethical and moral; and He expects us to imitate His ways.
