Complete the Paragraph:
Christians believe that God possesses certain characteristics. God is [blank_start]omnibenevolent[blank_end] which means all good. God is [blank_start]omnipotent[blank_end] which means all powerful. God is [blank_start]omniscient[blank_end] which means all knowing and God is not limited by time or space; he is [blank_start]omnipresent[blank_end] and transcendent. Christians believe that Jesus is the full revelation of God because he is the [blank_start]incarnation[blank_end]. This means that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine. Although Christianity is a [blank_start]monotheistic[blank_end] religion God is manifest in 3 distinct 'persons' Father, son and Spirit- this belief is called the [blank_start]Trinity[blank_end].
