Comment traduire au mieux le mot Disposition dans la phrase: "The disposition of God is a subject that seems very abstract":

La nature, la personnalité, le caractère, le tempérament?

A Selected Passage from “God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself (3)” in A Continuation of The Word Appears in the Flesh

God’s Will of Disposition
This aspect of the will of God refers to what is pleasing and agreeable to God. It expresses something of the attitude of God to his creatures. Some things are “well pleasing in his sight,” while other things are said to grieve him. He may allow (but not via moral permission) wicked things to transpire, but he is by no means pleased by them.

Now you should realize that you can understand God’s disposition when you come to know His substance, and to understand God’s disposition is equivalent to understanding the administrative decrees. Certainly, many of the administrative decrees involve the disposition of God, but the entirety of His disposition has not been expressed within them. This requires you to further become familiar with the disposition of God.

Explanation:
My understanding of 'disposition in French'

♦ Sentiment, état d'esprit à l'égard de quelqu'un ou de quelque chose. Un homme ivre plein de tendres dispositions pour le garçon de café qui l'a servi (Proust, Guermantes 2,1921, p. 548):
6. Je voulais profiter de ces ardentes dispositions inespérées que montrait M. de Charlus, pour lui demander s'il ne pourrait pas me faire rencontrer sa belle-sœur, ... Proust, Guermantes 1,1920, p. 292.
