The infinity of God is the divine essence viewed as having no bounds or limits. And since limitation implies imperfection, the infinity of God implies that he is perfect in every respect in which he is infinite… His power, his knowledge, his veracity is infinite.
It also characterizes the being of God as well as his attributes. His essence is infinite. In this respect, infinity is like eternity and immutability. These latter, like the former, pervade the essence and all the communicable attributes.
Westminster Shorter Catechism Q. 4 defines God to be a Spirit who is “infinite, eternal, and unchangeable” first in his essential “being” and then in his “wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.” Divine infinity is taught in Job 11:7–9: “Can you by searching find out God? Can you find out the Almighty to perfection? It is as high as heaven, what can you do? deeper than hell, what can you know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.” - W. G. T. Shedd
