“Incomprehensible” probably isn’t the first word you think of when reflecting on the gospel. So why do theologians always talk this way about the God of the gospel?

In this video we explore the seeming paradox of a God who is both utterly beyond our comprehension and intimately known in Jesus Christ. We delve into the Christian doctrine of God’s incomprehensibility, examining what it means for creatures to know and be known by our Creator. We discuss how our attempts to contain God betray our own rebellious nature, and how the good news of the gospel emerges in the midst of this bad news.

Discover how God’s incomprehensibility actually points to his deep and personal knowledge of us, and how this knowledge offers surprising comfort and hope to those who know God personally in Jesus Christ. Join us as we unpack this profound concept and explore its implications for faith, discipleship, and assurance in the surprisingly good news of God’s incomprehensibility.
