Knowing the Unknowable God

God doesn’t relate to the person we think we are. He relates to the person we truly are. Furthermore, He relates to us as the God He is rather than the God we would have Him to be. This is why it is easy to find His advances strange, burdensome, and even offensive at times. It is because He is often demanding things from us that don’t make sense according to our limited, distorted, and corrupt opinion of ourselves and of Him. Herein lies the beauty of our Savior. 

Because we could not know God without God’s help, God sent God to reveal God as only God could. Don’t be confused 🤗. In other words, Jesus—the Son of God—came to bridge the gap of our incomprehension, supernaturally revealing God the Father’s fullness to those once doomed to darkness. By Christ alone do we come to know the unknowable (Luke 11:27) to see the invisible (14:9), and to do the impossible (Mark 9:23). Those who purpose within themselves to draw closer to Jesus by the power of the Holy Ghost—God the Spirit—will experience life and love as they were meant to be experienced. They will find themselves trampling barriers of ignorance and rebellion that once prevented them from properly receiving and manifesting His truth. 

As they conform to Christ’s image, joyfully yielding to His unending process of increasing sanctification, the correct knowledge of God will rise in their hearts like the ascent of the sun to the perfect dawn. Old wine skins will become new as they are continually transformed throughout every season of life in Christ. The end result will be an abiding readiness to house repeated infusions of fresh wine from heaven. So don’t allow frustration or unbelief to define your minds reaction to the mystery of godliness. Instead, look expectedly to and for the source and reward of your blessed endurance—Jesus Christ.
