His divinity is established (1) from the fact that the names of God are ascribed to him ([Ex. 17:7](/exod#Exod.17.7); [Ps. 95:7](/ps#Ps.95.7); comp. [Heb. 3:7-11](/heb#Heb.3.7)); and (2) that divine attributes are also ascribed to him, omnipresence ([Ps. 139:7](/ps#Ps.139.7); [Eph. 2:17](/eph#Eph.2.17), [18](/eph#Eph.2.18); [1 Cor. 12:13](/1cor#1Cor.12.13)); omniscience ([1 Cor. 2:10](/1cor#1Cor.2.10), [11](/1cor#1Cor.2.11)); omnipotence ([Luke 1:35](/luke#Luke.1.35); [Rom. 8:11](/rom#Rom.8.11)); eternity ([Heb. 9:4](/heb#Heb.9.4)). (3) Creation is ascribed to him ([Gen. 1:2](/gen#Gen.1.2); [Job 26:13](/job#Job.26.13); [Ps. 104:30](/ps#Ps.104.30)), and the working of miracles ([Matt. 12:28](/matt#Matt.12.28); [1 Cor. 12:9-11](/1cor#1Cor.12.9)).
