How can we understand God ? How far are we understood God ? Is God understandable ? Does God fit in our mind ? How much we know about God ? Is God explainable in his complete Holiness ? Bible in the Book of Genesis says that God's Spirit was hovering on the face of the earth. If one stand in a direction on the face of the earth, one cannot explain what is going on in all the other three directions which he cannot see. God has given us a great brain but it works within its limitations; so it is impossible for man to understand God. If a highly qualified educated person if asked to tell about his perception about God, he can only tell or discribe what he has studied from or out of his research he can give his perception about God. Is God just what his thesis explained ? If you ask a spiritual person about his perception of God, he could tell about God what he has experienced through the revelation and the rhema, vision he experienced. Can we just say that this is what God in complete ? That is why great wise king Solomon himself is accepting that God is difficult to understand (Ecclesiastes.8:16,17). In the Book of Job in Chapters 38, 39, 40, 41, God is explaining to Job about what He is; even then God has explained about Himself a very little. Even if God was in touch personally with Adam, he was unable to understand God; if he would have understood God Adam definitely wouldn't have sinned against God. God revealed Himself as 'I AM' to Moses. There is a fathom of knowledge embedded within that title. The title itself is Life that doesn't be taken off. For better understanding the God of Expanse Himself is embedded to a perticular name by calling Himself as Jehovah (Jesus) so that people can understand and revere Him. The more He came close by, the more the mankind deteriorated. Now God Himself took the shape of man, so that man could understand his own alike people, but John writes that they didn't know Him as God and accepted Him not (John.1:10,11). They didn't understand the nature of God (expecting Messiah in some other form). John writing the Book of Revelation didn't understand the mystery over what he was watching at until God Himself interferes explaining the mystery (Revelation.1:17-20). Jesus after assended to heaven, through apostles man only understood what God has done for him (mankind) through Salvation and Redemption on the Cross; but felt difficult in understanding God. Even we whom we call our close friends don't know some of their likes and dislikes. If we want to understand God the only way is to be very close to Him, then we can understand His Righteousness, Holiness, Awesomeness, the great Expanse of His Spirit and more than anything else the Just nature of the Living God. Let us be very close to Him so that we could know Him better. The more we know, the more we BE or DO. Have a nice day.
