No Limits to the Depths of God

No Limits to the Depths of God

“Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?” Job 11:7.

Those who use human reasoning coupled with doubt and unbelief soon find the limits of the depths of God; they feel that they have reached its boundaries. They do not get very far with their arguments.

Faith never finds the outer limits of God’s love and wisdom. “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” Rom. 11:33. At this point all clever thoughts come to a halt, but faith always reaches out toward a glorious goal.

We cannot find any boundaries in God, and we cannot search out His depth. Unlimited grace is available to come to a life of full victory in all situations. There are no limits to what God can do with someone who believes. Paul pressed on toward perfection. “That I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.” “But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 3:12-14. Our love for Christ becomes the great motivating power in the Spirit of faith. This power always drives us forward into a limitless love.

“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Col. 2:9-10. This fullness is inexhaustible; the more we are being filled with it, the more we will be filled by it. Peter says that if indeed we have tasted that the Lord is good, we will—like newborn babes—desire the pure milk of the Word, that we may grow thereby unto salvation. 1 Pet. 2:2-3.

No one can acquire the knowledge whereby he can fully understand God’s external work of creation. We can only understand very little of it.

The most spiritual people also understand very little of God’s work of creation in the inner man. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Cor. 5:17. “Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.” Gal. 6:15.

No one can understand the miracle that transpires at the birth of a child, and no one can understand that a new man, a new creation, can be born in us through a living faith. The natural man perishes after a few years, but the new creation is eternal. Therefore we need to see to it that this new creation is given what it needs for spiritual growth and development. It is nourished only through a living faith in God’s Word.

“That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Eph. 3:16-21.

Only in fellowship with the other members can we grow the growth of the body up into Christ who is the head. We can only come to the same understanding in the same Spirit of revelation, and then we can rejoice together in the same treasures. An independent person who does not have intimate fellowship with the other saints can easily end up with some peculiar notions that cause unrest.

Let us be among those who enter into rest—into a constantly deeper fellowship with Christ and the saints, to a limitless life in all the virtues of Christ.

It is also impossible to search out the depths of Satan when it concerns the evil.
