Just as our attributes are above a dog’s comprehension, so God’s attributes are beyond our own—but on an infinite scale. The eternality and infinitude of God are two attributes of God that are beyond our understanding.
Why is it so difficult to sustain a reverential and humble attitude toward God? It is because, embedded in our fallen human nature, there is a clash between two opposing value systems.
The apparent delay of Christ’s return is due to His patience with sinful humanity. He desires more and more people to come to a saving knowledge of Christ before He comes in judgment. Therefore, Peter exhorts us to live each day in light of that coming Day and to grow in our knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Grace as opposed to law, which is the crux of the Christian faith, is the sixth of eight “spiritual essentials” (core aspects of the Christian faith) Ken Boa discusses with his Friday morning men’s study at First Redeemer Church (Cumming, GA).
Tozer said, “The days of the years of our lives are few, and swifter than a weaver’s shuttle.” Ken Boa closes this series on time with some practical tips for seeing and spending our time on earth with an eternal perspective.
Our conventional view of time is insufficient to explain the eternal nature of God. As the one who created our space-time universe and stands outside of time, God always was and always is; there’s never been a time when He didn’t exist. He alone is able to survey time in its entire duration. Some of the things related to God’s purposes, such as free will, election, and divine sovereignty, are mysterious to us because of our own limited view of time.
Dr. Boa discusses how the mind works, and how we can renew our minds to become the people we were created to be. We can remind ourselves all the time that we were meant for more than this world.
