Biblical passages for reflection
[Links to the ESV Bible]:

Job 38.1-41.34; Psalm 139.1-18; Isaiah 55.8-9; Romans 11.33-36; 1Corinthians 2.6-16;

Summary:

1. There is profound meaning in even the simplest of Christian truths.
2. No matter how deep our knowledge of theology, there will always be much about the nature and character of God that will remain a mystery to us.
3. No human being can have a comprehensive knowledge of God.
4. The doctrine of the incomprehensibility of God does not mean that we can know nothing about God. It means that our knowledge is limited, bounded by our humanity.
   

Personal(Michael.T.Bee) Reflections:

I liked this study particularly. I think there's a great beauty in God's condescension toward us.

I liked, too, the additional scripture mentioned in the text: Deuteronomy 29.29

Here's another link to all the scriptures for this study:
