It is not only true that we can never tully understand God; it is also true that we
can never fully understand any single thing about God. His greatness (Ps. 145:3),
his understanding (Ps. 147:5), his knowledge (Ps. 139:6), his riches, wisdom, judgment, and ways (Rom. 11:33) are all beyond our ability to understand fully…
Thus, we may know something about God's love, power, wisdom, and so forth.
But we can never know his love completely or exhaustively. We can never know
his power exhaustively. We can never know his wisdom exhaustively, and so forth.
In order to know any single thing about God exhaustively we would need to know
It as he himself knows it. That is, we would have to know it in its relationship to
everything else about God and in its relationship to everything else about creation
throughout eternity! We can only exclaim with David, "Such knowledge is too
Wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it" (Ps. 139:6).
