In God Hand, it is said that the user of the God Hand possesses the power to 'become a god or a demon', a metaphor for the choice between good and evil.

The power granted depends on the deity which the user represents. Regardless, their power would be channeled through that arm or hand.

Or, if the user represented the Christian God, they might be Omnipotent. For instance, if one were to have the power of Kratos, the Greek God of Strength, one might have unlimited strength through that particular hand. The user's hand is imbued with the power of a god, and is thus granted incredible power by that god.
