BIBLE CONVERSATION 28. PERSONALITY. Divinity in humanity. The God that

is possible in man despite man's humanity. 1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we

the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: Until

some of us would see God as a Man we would never come to understand

how he sees us, who we are to him and the marvelous plan he has for

us. And, where we are going. See this. POWERFUL and UNSPEAKABLE! 1Jo

3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear

what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be

like him; for we shall see him as he is. If the Lord God himself made

you to look like him and to behave like him and if he says you shall

be like him, wouldn't it be very important to you to find out what he

looks like and how he behaves? Who exactly is that God that I look

like and that I am supposed to behave like? Truth be told: our level

of comprehension, our language CANNOT encompass God. Because our

comprehension and our language cannot describe ETERNITY. Picture this,

can you describe a spirit? Can you fathom a spirit? What if there had

been no God? Mediate on this and you will fall into a void – a

blackhole! The Lord God found it really tricky to get a MAN called

Moses to katalambano or grasp or comprehend or fathom the fullness of

God. All he could manage was: Ex 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM

THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of

Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. The I AM? The I AM THAT I AM!!!

This is saying something without talking! Mediate on this and you will

fall into a void. Words fail us when we try to describe the God we are

speeding to. But Adam Clark made this brilliant attempt: Many attempts

have been made to define the term GOD: as to the word itself, it is

pure Anglo-Saxon, and among our ancestors signified, not only the

Divine Being, now commonly designated by the word, but also good; as

in their apprehensions it appeared that God and good were correlative

terms; and when they thought or spoke of him, they were doubtless led

from the word itself to consider him as THE GOOD BEING, a fountain of

infinite benevolence and beneficence towards his creatures. A general

definition of this great First Cause, as far as human words dare

attempt one, may be thus given: The eternal, independent, and

self-existent Being: the Being whose purposes and actions spring from

himself, without foreign motive or influence: he who is absolute in

dominion; the most pure, the most simple, and most spiritual of all

essences; infinitely benevolent, beneficent, true, and holy: the cause

of all being, the upholder of all things; infinitely happy, because

infinitely perfect; and eternally self-sufficient, needing nothing

that he has made: illimitable in his immensity, inconceivable in his

mode of existence, and indescribable in his essence; known fully only

to himself, because an infinite mind can be fully apprehended only by

itself. In a word, a Being who, from his infinite wisdom, cannot err

or be deceived; and who, from his infinite goodness, can do nothing

but what is eternally just, right, and kind. Reader, such is the God

of the Bible; but how widely different from the God of most human

creeds and apprehensions!
