This sermon introduces the first two doctrines of who God is; Incomprehensible & Knowable. 

God is incomprehensible because he is so great, glorious, and holy that our simple human minds cannot truly comprehend him. For He is so wholly other and separate from every created thing in greatness and understanding. 

Yet, God is knowable, because he has chosen to reveal himself to us in ways that we can fathom for he desires that we would know him. This knowledge means can see something on the outskirts of his greatness and understanding that is significant because of his great love.

God does this through general revelation and special revelation. General revelation is displayed through creation and leads to a vague notion of an incomprehensible creator God. Special revelation occurs through the prophets, the scriptures, and most importantly through Jesus Christ the Son of God. This latter revelation leads to salvation and a personal relationship with God.

Lord, help us respond humbly and worshipfully to this amazing truth about who you are, and never lose our thirst for seeing more of your greatness revealed.
