Patriarchs and Prophets
No finite mind can fully comprehend the existence, the power, the
wisdom, or the works of the Infinite One. Says the sacred writer:
“Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the
Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou
do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof
is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.”
Job 11:7-9
. The
mightiest intellects of earth cannot comprehend God. Men may be
ever searching, ever learning, and still there is an infinity beyond.
Yet the works of creation testify of God’s power and greatness.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth
His handiwork.”
Psalm 19:1
. Those who take the written word as their
counselor will find in science an aid to understand God. “The invisible
things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead.”
Romans 1:20
.
