Attributes of the biblical God include [[omnipotence]] (the ability to do anything), [[omniscience]] (knowing everything), [[omnipresence]] (everywhere present at once), and [[omnibenevolence]] (all-good). Many believers in this God also believe that he eternally punishes the wicked in [[hell]] and eternally rewards the righteous in [[heaven]].
