Grasping at God

“O, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and knowledge of God! We cannot search his judgments, we cannot fathom his ways. ” (Romans 11:33, The Bible for Everyone)

From John of Damascus (675-749), in his apophatic theology, On the Orthodox Faith, attempting to describe God by what cannot be said about God:

So then, we both know and confess that God is without beginning, without end, eternal and everlasting, uncreated, immutable, unchangeable, simple, non-composite, incorporeal, invisible, impalpable, uncircumscribed, limitless, ungraspable, incognizable, unfathomable, good, just, almighty, the creator of all created things, sovereign over all, overseeing all, exercising foresight over all, having supreme power over all, and judge of all!

And the elders fell down, and worshiped. (Revelation 5:14)
