Omnipotence (literally, "all power") is power with no limits or inexhaustible, in other words, unlimited power. This trait is usually attributed only to God .

In most monotheistic religions , God is described as omnipotent, omniscient , omnipresent , and omnibenevolent , but the Bible only describes God as omnipotent [all-powerful]. These religious (but not Biblical) definitions of omnipotence, however, brings up the problem of evil , in that if God is omnipotent and all-loving, then why does he allow evil and tragedy to exist? Resolving this issue is a major part of the theology of the monotheistic religions; attempts to reconcile God's goodness with the fact that evil exists is termed theodicy .¹
