How are God’s divine characteristics related to His divine being?

The answer

We can identify some divine characteristics as pertaining exclusively to His divine being, but not to the creation. God alone is self-existent, absolutely perfect, transcends space and time, unseen, not derived from any another existent, and without beginning or end. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; without change, and perfect in all His attributes, for His characteristics do not stand in need of any created thing in order to be manifest.
