verses about God in the Bible that teach who He is and what He
expects? What are the attributes of God? Who is He, what

God is the only God
Isaiah 45:21
"...and there is no God else beside me"
Isaiah 45:5-6
"I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I
girded thee, though thou hast not known me. That they may know
from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none
beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else."
Isaiah 45:18
"For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that
formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it
not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there
is none else."
Ephesians 4:4-6
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
God is Just
Isaiah 45:21
"...and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour;
there is none beside me."
Zephaniah 3:5
"The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity:
every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not;
but the unjust knoweth no shame."
Zechariah 9:9

Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal
of an ass."
God is Powerful and All Mighty
(Omnipotent)
Isa 40:12-18
"Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven
with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed
the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught
him?
With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of
judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust
of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a
burnt offering.
All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than
nothing, and vanity. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness
will ye compare unto him?"
