Finding an Attribute of God for the Letter X is difficult using and English word, but the Greek word "Xristos" but I am not sure if this is how it is spelled. Even so, I will go with this.
God is XRISTOS
This is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah in English)
The XRISTOS is Jesus, the divine Father's divine Son incarnated to fulfill the promises made in the OT of a coming Messiah, one who is anointed and is the foretold prophet, priest and king. The Messiah was to conquer and free Israel from their bondage. The Jews believed that the Messiah would release them from the rule of the Romans as their Redeemer and proceed to rule the whole world with righteousness and justice.
The Bible also describes the Messiah as " the Holy One of Israel" The demons called Jesus this when encountering Jesus. Only God is the: "Holy One" of Israel, which, in the OT was a title for God alone.
At the temple when Jesus read from the scroll from Isaiah 61 He identified Himself as the promised Messiah saying, today this is fulfilled in your hearing" to the scribes and teachers.( luke 4:17-21)
Peter Identified Jesus as the Xristos, ( Mt. 16:16( when Jesus asked "Who do you say that I am?"
Jesus the Xristos, being God in the flesh is the long awaited "Seed" of the woman promised to Adam and Eve to "crush the head of the serpent, meaning, He will conquer the devil, his works, and sin. He did this on the cross.
The Jews are still looking for the coming of their Messiah, rejecting that Jesus is He and has already come to save them from their sins and will come again to rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords on the earth as He is reigning in heaven now.
Jesus is our Messiah in all the ways He has been prophesized to be according to what God meant when He promised His coming. The Jews got it wrong in the way they interpreted what the Messiah would be like and what He would do. Many people in the world today get it wrong when they see Jesus as only a great human person.
