The Supreme Personality of Godhead has all these fifty transcendental qualities in fullness as deep as the ocean. In other words, the extent of His qualities is inconceivable.
As parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, the individual living entities can also possess all of these qualities in minute quantities, provided they become pure devotees of the Lord. In other words, all of the above transcendental qualities can be present in the devotees in minute quantity, whereas the qualities in fullness are always present in the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

God's main attributes are:

Love (1John 4:8)
Justice (Deut. 32:4; Luke 18:7, 8)
Wisdom (Prov. 2:6; Rom. 11:33)
Power (Job 37:23; Luke 1:35)

He has many others also, but in every action He takes, you can see evidence of these four main attributes in perfect balance. The fact that we are made in his image (Genesis 1:26) is shown by the fact that these are our main qualities also. We just don't use them in perfect balance due to our imperfect state.

Always was there, never had a beginning
Can do all kinds of magic
Genetically engineered entire species of planet made it look like evolution and natural selection did it.
Created the earth and made it look like standard stellar events did it way before it actually happened.
Stretched the light of stars millions of light years away so the light would reach us sooner becuse he only created them a few hundred years ago.
Is completely ethereal and contains no matter or energy or else it would not be possible for him to pre-date the big bang.

He is all knowing. He is everywhere. He is holy and just. He is patient, kind and longsuffering. He is forgiving. He is love. He is our provider. He is our creator and sustainer. He is our protector.
