Embrace The Mystery In God

I have a friend who recently came to Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. One of the things he is going through is the phenomenon of "I don't know". He feels there is so much to learn and that he knows so little. In his field of business he has mastered so much and he knows so much.

No matter how long you walk with God through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, you will always say, "I just don't know". Thank God that even the more we know Him the more we will have to acknowledge "I just don't know". For how else can a finite person respond in their encounter with the Infinite Awesome God? We will spend eternity savoring in amazement, God's infinite and glorious wisdom and marvelous grace. Thank God for the mystery in God, for if you or I could figure God out, He wouldn't be a very marvelous and awesome God.

(Rom 11:33-36 NIV) Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! {34} "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" {35} "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" {36} For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Below is a segment from a message by C.J. Mahaney titled The Mystery of Election which coveys that reality of "I just don't know".
