Tag: What the Bible says about the mysteries of God

Proverbs 30:5-6 (LSB) 5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.

God is mysterious in nature. It’s part of who He is.

His word contains untold numbers of mysteries.

Many of these mysteries are beyond human comprehension. And there are some things that we will never understand.

We have to be OK with that.

It’s not wrong to ask questions and seek answers. But we have to understand that some questions will never have answers.

If we could know and understand everything about God, we would not revere Him.

We cannot become obsessed with finding answers that don’t exist.

We can’t fabricate answers based on human intellect, trying to connect the dots, or by conjecture.

Doing so is flirting with or bordering on adding to or taking away from God’s word. And this can be very dangerous ground.

God has told us that it is impossible to please Him without faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Our relationship with Him is based completely on faith. We cannot have a relationship with Him outside of faith.

Human intellect will always question. Faith will trust even when we cannot see or fully understand things.

Because this is the nature of a faith-based relationship, it is OK if there are things we have no answers for.

We have to trust Him.

We have to take Him at His word.

Sometimes a mystery is meant to be just that; a mystery. And it behooves us to leave it as such.

Let us trust God. Walk and live by faith. It is what He asks of us. And we are wise to do what He asks.

Romans 11:33 (LSB) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

This verse is one of the deepest scriptures in the entirety of God’s word.

Yes, it rivals the depth of, “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

It rivals God forming Adam from the dust of the earth, and breathing life into him.

It rivals the 6 days of creation.

And it rivals about anything else we can think of in God’s word.

Consider this. God took on human form in Jesus. He came to earth. He dwelt among men. He taught His disciples truths that were too much for the human mind to comprehend.

And then He offered His (perfect) life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we would not have to pay the price that was the penalty for our sin.

And here is the deepest part; He made Him who knew no sin (Jesus) to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God through Him (Jesus).

We became righteous in God’s sight through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, by no act of our own, and by no power of our own, far outside of our human understanding.

Think about that. Really think about that!

We had nothing whatsoever to do with this entire act. And yet He offers it to us free of charge and paid in full because of His grace and mercy.

We do NOT deserve it. We can NOT earn it.

He gives it to us freely by simply trusting Him by faith.

Go ahead. Try to fully comprehend that by human understanding. It is NOT possible.

But it is true, nonetheless.

And this is where we see the power of the verses in Proverbs 3:5-6, when God tells us not to lean on our own understanding, but to acknowledge Him in all our ways.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

If you are in need of something to hold onto today, this is it.
