The attributes of God are His essential qualities of being. The several attributes of God are not component parts of God. Each attribute describes His total being: He is entirely/all of the characteristics ascribed to Him. Therefore, god is more than the sum total of His attributes. The attributes describe equally and without distinction the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

"the attributes of God are those distinguishable characteristics of the divine nature which are inseparable from the idea of God and which constitute the basis and ground for His various manifestations to His creatures. We call them attributes because we are compelled to attribute them to God as fundamental qualities or powers of His being, in order to give account of certain constant facts in God's self-revelation… all God's revelations, therefore, are revelations of Himself in and through His attributes. Our aim must be to determine from God's words and works what qualities, dispositions, determinations and powers of His otherwise unseen and unsearchable essence He has actually made known to us; or in other words, what are the revealed attributes of God." (Emory Bancroft)
