Oh, The Depths of God

August 8, 2008 | By: Nathan Jones

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33)

Riches - Wisdom - Knowledge - > (God) (!)

These three aspects of God lead Paul to exclaim “Oh, the depth…” of these three, the surface of what we can call to mind of the Riches of God, the Wisdom of God and the Knowledge of God, is but the beginning of an infinite depth below this monumental iceberg of treasure and glory.  God’s depth is unsearchable, inexhaustible, never ending, time has not enough capacity to hold this depth.  Only eternity can hold such a wondrous God of beauty, mystery and majesty.

Just when we think we’ve begun to see and know the beauty of the riches of God in Christ, let’s remind ourselves of the depth below that we have yet to uncover.  When we have begun to wrap our mind around the Wisdom of God in all that he has created, in the ways he has sovereignly worked redemption of His people throughout history, let us humble ourselves at the depth of His wisdom that still lies beneath.  When we stand exhausted at the reality that “even the hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Mat.10:30), may our minds explode with wonder at the limitless Knowledge of God that lies beneath the revealed surface within the depths of the mind of God.

We will live eternally in the new heavens and earth.  Our life that will never end will consist of exploring these unsearchable depths of God.  Every day we will discover something new.  This will be our joy to plumb the depths of God, He is ever infinite and the newest revelations of His heaven-like grandeur will explode the senses of our new bodies with pleasure and delight at God’s glory.

Don’t waste this life, start the pilgrimage today, read God’s word and erupt like Paul did with worship at what you find.
