The Attributes of God: Part 5: Infinity

9/2/2020

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · The Attributes Of God: Part 5 - Infinity
The fourth of God’s Absolute Attributes is infinity.  God is infinite or limitless, He is not bound by the limits of time or space.  He is completely apart from anything and everything.  He is infinite because He is uncaused.  Everything caused is limited by its creation.  Since God has no beginning or end, He has no limitation.  The lack of limitation means that God is immense.  Louis Berkhof states that immensity is “that perfection of the Divine Being by which He transcends all spatial limitations, and yet is present in every point of space with His whole Being.”(1)


Being infinite and immense means that God is immeasurable and uncontainable.  


  • Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? - Job 11:7
  • But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built! - 1 Kings 8:27  


A. H. Strong states, “Immensity is infinity in its relation to space. God’s nature is not subject to the law of space.”(2)  Thus, every attribute of God is limitless.  


  • Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. - Psalm 145:3
  • Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. - Psalm 147:5 


God’s infiniteness makes Him capable of loving each believer equally as if that individual was the only believer.

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
