Knowing our Triune infinite God never ends it is for all eternity

Scriptures already showed us we know in part so whenever you see any person saying they completely know everything about God then just understand that person is in a baby state of mind

The Bible is so amazing and the One who guides us as we study it, who is the Spirit of God is also amazing. I say that because we find little hidden gems in the Bible which we tend to overlook when we read but, the Spirit of God helps us catch them and illuminates our minds so that we can get to know our God more and more.

Recently, during my quiet time I stumbled upon this intriguing verse as I was reading Romans Chapter 6. Paul says, “I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations (Romans 6:19).” As we know, the Scripture is breathed out by God (2Tim 3:16) which means Paul wrote this verse inspired by the Holy Spirit
(2Pet 1:20-21).

This implies that in that context, God was trying to communicate to the audience through Paul in everyday terms because of their human limitations to understand something that’s beyond their understanding. This is a profound truth – God communicates to us in our everyday terms to help us understand certain things which are really difficult for us to grasp with our finite minds.

Why is this truth important? At least for two reasons, one is for our own realization of who God is and why he being infinite tries to communicate with us who are finite. And the other is for us to better answer the seemingly difficult questions from the people of other faiths.

Let’s take one example and see how this truth is important and relevant to us.

From scriptures we can see the Trinity Cleary displayed here

Matthew 28:19 ►
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,


As true Christians, we believe in a Triune God who exists as one being and three persons – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Let’s take how God the Father relates to God the Son. You might be thinking, “This is obvious, isn’t it? They are father and son.”

But, let me ask you a question which some of our friends of other faiths will ask, “How can God have a Son? He must have a wife to have a son. Isn’t it?” I’ve seen many Christians puzzled by this question. How do we answer this question? The problem with this question is we all try to put God in our own box i.e. try to fit in the infinite God into our finite little brains. That’s what they are doing when they ask these kind of questions.

So, we answer this question with the truth we learnt just now and that is, God communicates to us in our everyday terms to help us understand something that’s beyond our understanding. How does that truth apply here?

It applies as follows, the first person of the Trinity and the second person of the Trinity share an intimate relationship which is similar to a father-son relationship in this world and that’s why God revealed himself to us in our everyday terms referring to himself as God the Father and God the Son.
It can be argued the other way also, that God instituted the family and the father-son relationship to reflect the relationship between the first person and the second person of the Trinitarian God as we are made in his image to reflect him.
(God doesn’t have a wife to have a son, he doesn’t need to have a wife. He just is as he is and he revealed himself to us in our terms for our understanding!)

Another example, Paul says that Jesus is the bride-groom and church is his bride in Ephesians 5. And, in Romans 8:29, he also says that Jesus is the first born among many brothers and sisters i.e. the church.
If we think logically in our terms, it is impossible to think that we can be Jesus’ bride and siblings at the same time. The only way to make sense of all these terms if we hold that God’s word is inerrant is that, they are all metaphorical trying to depict the kind of relationship we share with Jesus using our everyday terms and ideas. This is how infinite God reveals himself to us who are finite beings! He comes to our level to communicate to us because he loves us and wants to relate with us.

And, the ultimate manifestation of this attribute of God is he becoming human, becoming one of us and living like us as Jesus Christ around 2000 years ago. He came into this world to reveal himself clearly, to communicate his message directly and to prepare a way for us to accept that message by dying on the cross and rising from the dead.

He didn’t have to do that, because we rejected him and became his enemies. He didn’t have to leave his throne in heaven, live a difficult life on this earth and die a gruesome death on the cross. Yet because he loved us, he became a human, he lived liked us and he died for our sins to save us from death and eternal damnation.

So, let us be thankful for what he has done for us on the cross and also for the way he being infinite God communicates to us in our everyday terms so that we can understand him and know him with our teeny, little and finite minds. And also, let’s keep this truth in mind as we try to answer the seemingly tricky questions of our friends of other faiths and answer them confidently and gently for the glory of our Triune God.

The things God reveals to men are for human beings and the things hidden from men are only for God

Forever we will be with God when the new earth begins

The invincible God can be seen through the eyes of the spirit

Good God

Intimacy with God is beautiful
