"we saw that we can deduce from the Scriptures that God is knowable but incomprehensible. We can know Him but that does not mean that we can understand God fully or exhaustively. And then we went on to consider something about the essential being and nature of God. We mentioned His infinity, His spirituality, His personality, and the essential unity of the Godhead. But fortunately for us, the Bible does not stop at that; it goes further. Having revealed that God, in His ultimate being and essence, is quite incomprehensible, for the very reason that He is characterised by those qualities which I have just enumerated, the Bible goes on to tell us more about Him, and obviously its object is that we may know God and worship Him more truly. And that is really our reason for considering this great doctrine of God, because unless we do understand what the Bible tells us about God, our worship can never be real."
