Encounter the Truth

We can know God and, as believers, we do know God. But Christians have long used the language of “incomprehensibility” to express the truth that it is impossible for us, as finite creatures, to fully grasp the infinite God; we can’t know God as he knows himself; we can’t know and comprehend all that he is. It’s more than we could expect or manage; and it’s more than God has given us to know.

Everything in this world draws its strength, integrity—its very existence—from something else. Everything, that is, except God himself. He truly is independent of all other things. He needs nothing for anything; he depends upon no one and no thing. He is entirely self-sufficient.

Many of our difficulties in the Christian life stem from the fact that we don't really know God as we ought to know him. Our view of God is too small—too domesticated—too much formed by personal opinion and cultural assumption—and not nearly enough formed by the teaching of the Scriptures, through which God has made himself known. We begin this new series on the eternity of God—the truth that God in his being transcends time and is uniquely eternal. This is a vital truth for us to explore.

Worshipping God acceptably also involves honouring leaders within the church—following their example, submitting to their leadership, listening to their teaching, and praying for them. Are we marked by this kind of worship as a church?
