Imagine if God would have recorded and written down every single thing that was, is and will ever be of Him. Our universe, as we know it, would have filled up with volumes upon volumes stacked up at an infinite level an eternity ago. In fact, God is so majestic that there would need to be an infinite amount of universes with an infinite capacity of time and space in order to still never even scratch the surface of who He is. His printing press would still be running fully automatic at an infinite speed, yet for now and for all of eternity future it would never, nor could it ever, be capable of printing fast enough to make it out of eternity past.
In the picture above, we are on the left and God is on the right. It is interesting to note that the infinite symbol in a scale looks like a pretzel. Therefore, I would like to encourage you that the next time you are eating a pretzel to remember that God is infinite in all of His ways. For all of eternity the scale will never tip. No matter how much we grow or learn, God will remain infinite and the scale of knowledge will never budge.
God has given us a glorious revelation of Himself, but the Bible is not the full revelation of God because He has not fully revealed Himself to us in His full state of glory. The Bible is a very short summary of who God is and He has only revealed to us what we need to know right now.
In fact, for all of eternity, as the days pass and the years fly by, you and I as believers in Christ will come to know God deeper and deeper. Day by day we will forever spend our lives tracking Him down to know Him more, yet as we seek Him for all of eternity we will never find ourselves even a single step closer to an end. Instead, as He continues to reveal more truth and revelation to us we will find that we really aren’t as far along as we thought. This will show us that we are actually one step farther behind which will bring us great joy in knowing that He is truly the meaning of infinite as His glory is displayed for all to see.
The God we serve does not run dry nor does He grow weary. We cannot exhaust Him nor can He be clearly understood in a systematic format by our very finite minds. We will grow in knowledge and love. He will stay the same.
For the prideful at heart this is a horrible thought because they realize that they will never be God. They will never come to a point of knowing everything there is to know about God nor will they ever reach all-supremacy. God alone holds the attribute of omniscience and God alone is God. But to the humble this brings unspeakable joy.
We must understand who we are compared to who He is and realize that there is no comparison. I have heard before that our knowledge and power is less than 1% of God’s. This is not true because there is no percentile for us to Him. He is infinite and we are not. It is a logical impossibility to ever acquire a percent to a sideways eight. What we have is all a gift from Him. All authority is given from above. Too often we forget just how much God has to dumb His Word down for us and hold most of it back.
The amazing thing, however, is that God will continue leading us into deeper knowledge and revelation of Himself for all of eternity. After twenty-six trillion years we will still feel as babes in our understanding because we will recognize we still have an infinite God to learn about. This recognition will bring us to our knees in worship as we praise Him for indeed being the highest God!
