Think for Christ

God's Perfection and Infinity


Listen Later

What does it really mean to say that God is perfect and infinite? Too often, modern theology treats perfection simply as a value title—God as “the greatest being we can imagine.” But in the classical Christian tradition, perfection is not just a label. It is a deep metaphysical truth about God’s very being. In this episode, Anthony Alberino explores:

  • The traditional meaning of perfection as excellence or completion of being.
  • Why perfection is rooted in existence itself, the “act of all acts and perfection of all perfections.”
  • The difference between relative perfection (as in creatures and angels) and - absolute perfection (found only in God).
  • How God’s infinity is not quantitative (endless size or extension) but qualitative—the unbounded act of existence itself.
  • Why divine perfection and infinity reveal God’s radical transcendence as the fullness of being, utterly beyond lack or limitation.

Taken together, these attributes show why God is not simply the highest being among others, but Being Itself—the infinite, perfect source on which all creatures depend.
