详述上帝的本质 2.2上帝拥有一切生命1、荣耀2、良善3和福分4，是本乎祂自身，出于祂自身；惟独祂本乎自己，并对自己而言是完全自足的，不需要祂所造的任何受造之物5，也不从他们获取任何荣耀6，却只在他们里面，藉着他们，向着他们，并在他们身上彰显祂自己的荣耀；祂是万有惟一的根源，万有都是本于祂，依靠祂，归于祂7；祂对他们有至高的统治权，藉着他们，为着他们，并在他们身上行祂自己所喜悦的事8。万有在祂眼前都是赤露敞开的9；祂的知识是无限的，无谬的，不依赖任何受造物10；所以，对于祂而言，没有什么事物是偶发的，或不确定的11。祂的一切旨意、作为和命令都是至圣的12。天使、世人和其它所有受造之物，都当照祂按其美意所吩咐的敬拜祂，侍奉祂，顺服祂13。
