can we comprehend God?

In previous posts I have talked about whether or not we can know God.

The answer is yes we can know God. We can know as much about Him as He has revealed about Himself in His word.

As we study the Bible, He gives us the faith to believe and He reveals Himself to us through His word. Faith is a gift that God gives us that enables us to know that His word is true.

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him"

But can we comprehend God?

"God cannot finally be comprehended or understood by human beings. We can read about the doctrine of God and try to grasp it with our minds, but, by definition, God is incomprehensible. We can never know Him in the ultimate, final, and complete sense." (MLJ "Great Doctrines of the Bible.")

Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."

Romans 11:33-34 "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways!
For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?"

"The knowledge that we have of God will never be anything but a partial knowledge as long as we live on this earth. But though it is partial, it is real; though it is not complete, it is a true knowledge, enough to lead us to glorify Him. And we have this knowledge of God because it has pleased God Himself to give it to us." (MLJ "Great doctrines of the Bible")

I love this....."It has pleased God Himself to give it to us."

God wants us to seek Him, He wants us to know Him......it pleased Him to give us knowledge of Himself. I am overwhelmed.....
