Theology of Mystery

God has revealed Himself in the Holy Scriptures



...He has revealed Himself as "the infinite One"...



...without boundaries...the unlimited One...



...self existent...the source of life, truth, love, goodness...wisdom/knowledge...every blessing.



As the infinite One His ways are higher than our ways...this is because "we" are not infinite...



...as creatures we are very limited...in our thoughts, power, location...in everything!

Because God is the Almighty Sovereign He can and does reveal Himself to us...and because He is infinitely higher...and greater than us...this revelation of Himself is often clothed in "mystery".

We can learn that God is One, and yet has existed in eternity community as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...and our finite minds begin to spark in confusion...how can this be?

...it is a mystery.

God reveals to us that the Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and yet fully man, in one person...but how we ask...how could the infinite God take on Himself a finite nature...how?

...we don't know...but we believe...because our God is not limited by our understanding of things.

...and how does God predestine absolutely everything...including the choices of mankind [whether these choices be unto salvation or damnation]...and yet have all of these choices be "freely" made by each person?

...it is a mystery...but remember...just because we [finite creatures] cannot understand how God does it...doesn't give us the right...or authority to shape and mold God into our finite understanding of Him.

...God can do what we cannot...
