The Incomprehensible God (Part 2 of 2)
From Encounter the Truth by Jonathan Griffiths

About this episode
This episode discusses the concept of God's incomprehensibility and how finite beings can know Him without fully grasping His infinite nature.
We can know God and, as believers, we do know God. But Christians have long used the language of “incomprehensibility” to express the truth that it is impossible for us, as finite creatures, to fully grasp the infinite God; we can’t know God as he knows himself; we can’t know and comprehend all that he is. It’s more than we could expect or manage; and it’s more than God has given us to know.
