        God is holy, true, and love. God possesses those attributes which describe what He is in relationship to Himself for He is eternal and also self-existent. But these attributes affect His relationship to others. That is, because God is holy in Himself, He is righteous in relation to others; because He is true in Himself, He is faithful in relation to others; because He is love in Himself, He is merciful in relation to others. Jesus displayed all these attributes to mankind.
