Divine Simplicity

It is the simplicity of God through which the divine essence is free from all composition [parts].

For God is or “He becomes what He is” (Ex. 3:14). And the One who is His own is not another and is not composed even from being or essence. And since He is Jehovah, there can be nothing in Him except being first, most perfect and most simple. And since He is one (Deut. 6:4), He is clearly indivisible and absolutely simple.

Moreover, He also cannot come outside of Himself into composition, because the Creator and creature “cannot be assimilated” to one another (Isa. 40:18), and the finite and the infinite cannot coalesce into one essence. -Johann Heidegger, Concise Marrow @Presbyterianism
